"Speedy Harrell and June Geiger have put
together an exciting travelogue that spans the entire length of the mighty
St. Johns. They offer us a view of the river that is readily available
at no cost except in terms of time, energy and adrenaline."
Robert A. Taylor The Florida Institute of Technology "The St. Johns River has been an
essential part of the development of Florida's eastern and central parts.
June Geiger and Speedy Harrell have brought this river to life with their
pictures and comments. I think every Floridian, native or not, should
have this book part of their library.

Fair and long-legged, independent and articulate, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person--no mean feat for a Black woman in the '30's. Zora Neale Hurston's classic 1937 novel follows Janie from her nanny's plantation shack to Logan Killicks's farm, to all-Black Eatonville, to the Everglades, and back to Eatonville--where she gathers in "the great fish-net" of her life. Janie's quest for identity takes her on a journey during which she learns what love is, experiences life's joys and sorrows, and comes home to herself in peace. |

I don't believe either of us would want to change our lives which I think have been very fruitful and full of love in every way. we are very proud of the fact that we are the only family in the history of the Cattlemen's Association that has produced three presidents: myself for two years, 1975-77; Andy for one year in 1989; and Bert who was elected in 1997 and served 1998/99. Of all the things we have achieved, we're proudest of the many friends we've made in our lifetime." |

"This volume - part anthology, part anthropology, part history, part folklore- celebrates Florida's rich and diverse Cracker heritage. Dana Ste. Claire and the Museum of Arts and Sciences deserve much praise for bringing together these vivid images of Florida's frontier people who did not just live but flourished in a time before air conditioning, mosquito repellant, and screens. While many of these depictions of Crackers may seem negative or ambivalent to modern tastes, Ste, Claire's work reminds us that "Cracker Culture" and ways also oitive legacies valuable for our present federation: self-reliance, self-sufficiency, honesty, and finally a simple, direct approach to people and problems." |
