Synopsis
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 country side, and any real Cracker will tell you that's just the way they like it. Part history, partfolklore, "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 "girls and gravy." Dane Ste. Claire offers a colorful and revealing tour of Crackerdom.
