Cracker Florida invites you to travel the back roads of Florida with Ray Washington and to meet some of the people he met and sometimes worked with and ? most importantly ? listened to. What Ray Washington found was a Florida few of us know still exists, a Florida away from the tourist areas and the fast-growing metropolitan centers and suburbs. On the back roads, near swamps or woods or pastures, among snakes and frogs and mosquitos, and in small towns and out-of-the-way places Ray Washington has found some very down-to-earth people who work and trade, drink and feud, love and live in their own particular ways and prove once again that diversity and individualism are still alive and well in space-age Florida. Their words ring so true that you will feel that you have been with Ray Washington in his travels to find the whistlestops that the freight train of history has passed by. About the Author A Florida cracker is a native Floridian, usually of rural upbringing, and author Ray Washington fits that mold. A fourth-generation Floridian reared in Live Oak and Sarasota, Washington has hunted, camped, fished, and canoed all over Florida. He is a graduate of Duke University, but he also studied at the University of Florida, Florida State, Georgia, and Vanderbilt.
