When people think cowboy their theme song is usually considered as Home on the Range. That would be correct in Western Cowboy lore but the lyrics don't coincide with America's original cowmen, the cow hunters. Now simply known as the Florida Crackers the title has developed into an entirely new meaning that includes anyone who has been born and raised here.
Unlike western stories about the American cowboy not much is written about the first American cowboys. Here in Florida is where their roots began. Not too much romanticism exists in an environment of sweltering heat, swarms of mosquitoes and sloughing (15 comments)
