On Florida Crackers: their origins in the Scottish borderlands, alliances with Seminoles, and the transformative fire ecology practices that shaped our landscape and conversation legacy.
The greatest compliment i've ever received after a hog hunt near Fort Myers was "you're an honorary Cracker now", there may have been some profanity and high proof beverages mixed in but ill take it.
I love seeing the history and nuances of the beginnings of Florida and the Cracker name explained as more than a derogatory term.
Love this story, Cameron—sounds like you earned that title fair and square! “Cracker” is such a layered term, full of history and grit, and it’s fascinating how those connections to Florida’s past still resonate today. Thanks for sharing, and here’s to keeping those traditions and stories alive!
