"The
Civil War, 1861-1865," pp. 231-48, in The New History of Florida, edited
by Michael Gannon. Gainesville:
University of Florida Press, 1996.
This
essay is an excellent overview of what has been written about the Civil War in
Florida by a historian who knows the topic well.

Although
not yet published as a book, this dissertation is considered to be the most
up-to-date and complete work on the major battles in Florida during the Civil
War.
Johns,
John Edwin.
Gainesville,
University of Florida Press, 1963.
Although
this work is now somewhat dated, it has an excellent overview of the political
situation in Florida on the eve of the war and also covers the decisions of
U.S. Senators Stephen Mallory and David Levy Yulee as they decide to side with
the secessionists.

More
recent that Johns's work, Nulty's is just as good on the political history of
secession and is a well-illustrated account of the progress of the Civil War in
Florida leading to the major battle of the region.

Discovering
the Civil War in Florida: A Reader and Guide
Sarasota,

as an introduction, this book not only covers major events and themes related
to Florida in the Civil War but also illustrates them with extracts from
primary sources.
Wynne,
Lewis N., and Robert Taylor
Charleston:
Arcadia Press, 2002
Perhaps
the best general introduction to the Civil War in Florida currently in print;
covers all the major events and people, and has chapters on important themes,
such as Florida's role as a supply depot for the Confederacy, the problems
facing the Union blockade, and the split in popular sentiment between residents
who supported secession and those who opposed it.

Although
these works are outdated, they remain important both for the information they
contain and as a record of how previous historians have dealt with the topic of
the Civil War in Florida. Dickison's
Men, although written 25 years after the war, can be considered a primary
source, since it is a memoir of the war by a Confederate participant.
Davis,
William Watson, 1884-1960.
The
civil war and reconstruction in Florida
Gainesville,
University of Florida Press, 1964.
An
early example of the "Dunning School" in Civil War history, so called because
many state histories were written by students of Prof. William Archibald
Dunning. These works, initially praised
for their detail, late came under criticism, especially by black historians,
for ignoring the role of people of color in the post-war South. This is therefore an outdated but still
important work.
Dickison,
Mary Elizabeth.
Gainesville,
University of Florida Press, 1962.
A
reprint of the original 1890 work.
Although Mary Dickison is listed as the author, her husband J.J.
Dickison, a Confederate military leader in Florida, probably dictated much of
the book to her. It is a Confederate
version of the Civil War and the defense of Florida, from someone whose
loyalties were pledged completely to the southern cause.

John.
Carpet-bag

in Florida after the close of the Civil War. A facsim.
reproduction of the 1888 ed., with introd. & notes by Allan Nevins.
Gainesville,
University of Florida Press, 1964.
Written
by a former slave from North Carolina, and possibly co-authored by Governor
William D. Bloxham, this work is an important near-contemporary account of
Reconstruction in Florida by a major
participant. Wallace strongly condemns
the Freedmen's Bureau as an agency that failed its mission to bring blacks
fully into the democratic process.
