What exactly is a €œCracker€� An entertaining, informative look at a slice of old Florida culture.
Â
For over 200 years scholars have attempted to define the Crackers, but their name is as elusive as their nature, their character as tough as Florida€s hardscrabble countryside, and any real Cracker will tell you that€s just the way they like it. Part history, part folklore, Cracker is a generously illustrated account of Cracker heritage, its rich history, and its disappearance as today€s fast-paced society reaches even into the remote backwoods of the state.
From the language they spoke to the houses they built, from clandestine moonshine stills and cowhunting to €œgrits and gravy,€ Dana Ste. Claire offers a colorful and revealing tour of Crackerdom.
