The Great Florida Cattle Drive '16
We have chosen these videos and slide shows to provide you with a better understanding of the Florida Cracker Cowhunter, the traditions, history, and heritage that this cattle drive celebrates. In some of the footage you can see the apparel they wore in the 1850s. You can also see more period clothing by clicking on the "Trail Fashions" button in the home page.
If you have not read the book  " A Land Remembered " by Patrick Smith , please take this opportunity to watch both "A Land Remembered"  videos here in the Video Library (parts 1 and 2). These two well made videos will give you and excellent introduction to the life of the 1850s early Florida settlers and how they evolved into cow hunters and farmers .
