From the author of A Land Remembered...

Patrick Smith's "What Is A Florida Cracker?" is a touching and timeless tribute to that tough, reliable, honest person known as a "Florida Cracker." This is a short two page essay even a Florida transplant will love.

Here is a short excerpt from it:

.... What really makes a person a true Florida Cracker (besides being born in the state)? Several things: A love of the land and nature, growing things in soil, close family ties, and a deep sense of religion. It also means cracklin' bread and grits and periwinkle soup and swamp cabbage and okra gumbo and ham hocks with collard greens and chicken fried in a cast iron skillet and guava jelly and homemade blackberry cobbler.
