Book Description
This unusual, richly illustrated guidebook details Florida's historic pioneer and cracker villages, describing the homes, work-ways and folk-ways of the states early settlers, through preserved and tangible objects and structures. Across the state, dedicated local historians and community groups have carefully preserved and moved 19th- and early 20th-century structures, including both homes and workplaces, to specially created villages in order to display the lives of Florida pioneers. The tools, houses, farms, gardens, barns, sugar and turpentine mills, churches and schools that are gathered into twenty separate sites are described here, for the first time in a single volume. Through the rich collections of household utensils, mills, and structures, the visitor can appreciate the details of the everyday life, work, hardships, and recreation of past generations of Floridians. The book is an indispensable handbook and guide for the casual or dedicated historic tourist as well as for parents and teachers seeking to expose young people to the vanishing lifestyles of Florida's pioneers. Contact information, hours, special events, and detailed descriptions of each structure at the sites provide the casual or dedicated visitor with both practical facts for arranging trips, and the specific family histories of the pioneers who built and lived in the homes.

Book Description
Meet Cairo Banks, defender of Banks Cay, a rugged little Florida island that a whole bunch of folks are willing to kill for. He's back home from doing God-knows-what as a diplomatic hit man for the United States Security Service. He's been trying to be a simple shopkeeper, a good husband to his saltwater rock and roller wife, and a good father to two enterprising daughters with his penchant for risk and adventure. And he has enjoyed being the son of his salty-tongued cracker momma who has protected their bucolic little island home with a will stronger than a well rope. Then somebody goes and shoots Cairo's momma. Pissing off Cairo Banks turns out not to be such a good thing. "Benson has dreamed up an ensemble of delightfully offbeat characters who populate a place we’d all like to find." —Saltwater Writer’s Review "With this debut novel, Benson may be on his way in joining the ranks of the fun Florida writers like Shames, Hiaasen and Corcoran. This charmingly zany story draws readers right into the action." —Bud Holland Florida Loafing "If he’s the dude who gave me twenty bucks to say something good about a book he wrote, then sure, it’s a helluva book. Great read." —Willard "Junkman" Moody Tenth Street Viaduct
