Florida’s Forgotten Crackers

In the author’s delightful book, the Cracker’s connection with the land and rivers of Florida is brought lovingly to life with poetry, humor, photos, and informative comment. Neil Spirtas has gifted us with fine examples of this connection through what some might consider an unusual medium for Florida Crackers - poetry. With Spirtas driving the Cracker train, the words of Florida’s Forgotten Crackers are an adventure with rousing poetic stories of real-life experiences. His eloquent poetic talent depicts what it is like to be a Cracker. He teaches, entertains, and reminds us all why Florida is a special place in the South.
