“Nearly a century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the first thanksgiving celebration was at Tampa Bay in 1529, a second was celebrated in 1559 in Pensacola and a third in St. Augustine in 1565, when the Spanish shared their meal with the Timucua Indians. Historians believe the meal in St. Augustine consisted of salted pork and garbanzo beans rather than turkey and stuffing.”
James C. Clark, Hidden History of Florida

“Of particular concern to the Spanish was Fort Mose, a colony founded for escaped slaves in 1738, whose population numbered several hundred by 1763. Many Fort Mose residents left for Cuba with the Spanish while some joined Indian tribes.”
James C. Clark, A Concise History of Florida

“The speechwriter this memo referred to was Charles Kramer, also known as Charles Krivitsky and Charles Krevisky, who worked for Pepper's House Subcommittee on Wartime Health and Education. Kramer began working for the Communist Party in 1931 and joined the party two years later. Kramer was editor of the communist publication New Masses until 1931 and was identified as a communist and a member of the “Soviet espionage apparatus.” He worked at a number of middle-level government posts before going to work for Senator Kilgore in 1942. His role was to pass sensitive Senate documents to Soviet agents, although most of his information was little more than warmed-over Washington gossip.”
James C. Clark, Red Pepper and Gorgeous George: Claude Pepper's Epic Defeat in the 1950 Democratic Primary
