Kissimmee, Florida traces its name to the Jororo tribe, among the first to settle along the river valley. Riverboat captains, entrepreneurs, and speculators found Kissimmee and nearby Lake Tohopekaliga irresistible, and soon settlers followed. The 1880s marked this city's first brush with tourism, as the Tropical Hotel became the largest resort hotel south of Jacksonville. As the cattle town struggled to survive floods, the Depression, and downtown neglect in favor of spillover Walt Disney World business, committed citizens fought back and spiritedly rekindled the town into a favored tourist spot.

Excerpt from Florida Trails: As Seen From Jacksonville to Key West and From November to April Inclusive; Illustrated From Photographs by the Authors and Others This lighting Of the myrtle warbler on the passenger's hat is not persiflage, either. Several times it happened. Along in the afternoon a negro, sitting in a sunny corner Of the steerage deck, held nevertheless the very center Of the stage for several minutes with a junco perched on the crown Of a well-brushed black soft hat that might have been as Old as he was. It made a rather pretty picture and the Old man's eyes shone with delight long after the junco had flown. Ya-as, he drawled to his companions after the bird had gone, dem birds, dey al'ays does laike dat hat. One day down in Souf Ca'lina ah was sitting in de field a long time an' one Of dem cuckoo birds des came along and laid an aig in dat hat. Yessir, it done did. This may be true.

What exactly is a "Cracker"? An entertaining, informative look at a slice of old Florida culture. For over 200 years scholars have attempted to define the Crackers, but their name is as elusive as their nature, their character as tough as Florida's hardscrabble countryside, and any real Cracker will tell you that's just the way they like it. Part history, part folklore, Cracker is a generously illustrated account of Cracker heritage, its rich history, and its disappearance as today's fast-paced society reaches even into the remote backwoods of the state.From the language they spoke to the houses they built, from clandestine moonshine stills and cowhunting to "grits and gravy," Dana Ste. Claire offers a colorful and revealing tour of Crackerdom.

By Reef and Trail describes a Florida of a bygone age; a time before highrises lined the beaches and superslab highways divided its territory. Bob's adventures give a glimpse into a time in Florida history when most of its interior was unpopulated, save for a few tiny villages, and even its coast hosted only a string of very small towns.
