Book Description
In this visually delightful book, laced with quotations from one of the best chroniclers of Florida Cracker Life, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Ronald Haase takes us on an intimate tour of the utilitarian wooden structures constructed by early settlers in North Florida.
From the Inside Flap
Each region of our country has developed a distinctive architectural style. So it is with the old Cracker homesteads of Florida, whose sagging porches and rusting roofs are eloquent testimonials to a lifestyle that responded to its environment rather than fighting it.

From the Inside Flap
Each region of our country has developed a distinctive architectural style. So it is with the old Cracker homesteads of Florida, whose sagging porches and rusting roofs are eloquent testimonials to a lifestyle that responded to its environment rather than fighting it.
In this visually delightful book, laced with quotations from one of the best chroniclers of Florida Cracker life, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Ronald Haase takes us on an intimate tour of the utilitarian wooden structures constructed by early settlers in North Florida. These houses, raised high off the ground and surrounded by shady porches, responded both to the warm and sultry climate and to the very idea of living side by side with nature in such a beautiful environment. The technology with which they were built and the resulting modest but dignified forms reflected their rustic settings of tall pine scrub or hardwood hammock.
Professor Haase traces the development of Cracker Architecture as it adapted to the changing lifestyles of Florida settlers throughout the 1800s.
