Abstract
Upon the occasion of Samuel Proctor's retirement from the University of Florida in 1996, the authors of this festschrift have written essays that highlight his diverse scholarly and professional interests. In doing so, they selected topics that reflect Proctor's leadership within the context of Florida history, covering the period from 1783 to the present day. Essays discuss subjects related to women and families, religious life and leadership, and the experiences and contributions of African Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanics. Considered also are the state's culture of violence and its effects upon race relations, as well as dramatic changes that propelled Florida into the modern era.
