ABSTRACT:
Christmas Day, 1835, started out beautifully. The sun rose over two dozen plantations that stretched from St. Augustine in the north to New Smyrna in the south, from the St. Johns River on the west to the Atlantic beaches on the east. Some, like Moultrie and Bulowville, had manicured lawns and hedge mazes inhabited by peacocks. Their manor houses were stocked with fine wines to accompany seven-course meals cooked up by French chefs. Others, like San José and Carrigfergus, were working sugar farms, molasses factories using the latest agricultural techniques. San José's irrigation system and modern steam engines had been featured just six months earlier in the July 1835 issue of The Farmer's Register.
