Book excerpt: What exactly is a "Cracker"? An entertaining, informative look at a slice of old Florida culture. 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 "grits and gravy," Dana Ste. Claire offers a colorful and revealing tour of Crackerdom.

Book excerpt: This is a story of a town historically important in the development of Florida. By the end of the Nineteenth Century the town appeared to have everything going for it. It was a town which was a major transportation center and generated large quantities of agricultural products such as citrus, ferns, watermelons, naval stores, hardwood lumber, and kaolin from nearby pits. Okahumpka was a stopping off point for tourists from the north and was blessed by a large hotel, which catered to visitors from the north seeking a healthy and warm environment. At one time Okahumpka was as wild as any town in the “Wild West” with Cow Hunters, cattle drives and rustlers, etc. The town was larger, during the mid-nineteenth century, than the communities of Tampa, Leesburg and other present day communities in the area. Yet, by the last half of the Twentieth Century, it had become overrun by nearby Leesburg. Almost all the major buildings would be gone including the depot, stores, post office, schools, taverns, bowling alley and churches. Today, most people know Okahumpka as the name of a rest stop along the nearby Florida Turnpike or the name of an old depot located at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who loves the old Florida and still has hope for the new "Should be required reading for everyone who calls Florida home."--Miami Herald "There is a richness and sadness in this book. . . . A museum of Florida's choicest people, places and monuments."--Palm Beach Post "Ever wonder what's the best way to eat a rattlesnake? Puzzled over the origin of the term 'Florida Cracker'? Have an interest in alligator wrestling or catfish? Al Burt has some answers for you."--Forum "Burt's writing shows a Florida that is vanishing before our eyes. [He] reveals the strange, quirky, charming face of the Sunshine State by writing about catfishermen on Lake Okeechobee, by relating the stories of Florida cowboys who drove free-range cattle across the state and by describing the hardships of a couple who abandoned south Florida for an organic farm in the Panhandle."--Weekly Planet "Burt grabs the spirit of the Florida that once was, tantalizes us, makes us nostalgic and weaves a bit of oral history as we travel with him. . . . It's as warm as a front-porch gathering on a July evening or a grandma's hug, as fresh as a fall breeze through the pinewoods or across an undeveloped coastal dune."--Gainesville Sun "Drawing upon his long career as a roving Florida journalist, Burt uses a series of vivid biographical profiles to explore the full range of 'crackerdom,' from the good old boys and 'pork chopper' politicians of the Panhandle to the native Conchs of Key West. Perhaps most impressive, he brings these endangered subcultures to life without resorting to sensationalist caricature or lapsing into nostalgic revery. Cracker Florida, which surely has suffered more than its share of condescension and misunderstanding, has finally found its laureate."--from the Foreword
