Florida -- Social life and customs

The climber -- The rise of Susie Marvin -- The fish charmer -- Jeunesse a la mode -- The clue -- A sinister romance -- The Marquise de Hautcoeur -- Sweet charity -- A sketch in vaudeville.

Part history, part folklore, this is an account of the Cracker heritage of North Florida, its history, and its disappearance as today's fast-paced society reaches into the remote backwoods. From the language they spoke to the houses they built, from moonshine stills and cowhunting to ""grits and gravy,"" Dana Ste. Claire offers a tour of Crackerdom.
