- catalog abstract ""Cracker Times and Pioneer Lives brings together the reminiscences of two pioneers who came of age during the first half of the nineteenth century in Florida's Columbia County and the nearby Suwannee River Valley.

George Gillett Keen and Sarah Pamela Williams record anecdotes and memories that touch upon important themes of frontier life and reveal the remarkable diversity of Florida's settlers." "Cracker Times and Pioneer Lives features biographical sketches of more than 280 persons mentioned by Keen and Williams in their writings, many of whom subsequently pioneered settlement in the Florida peninsula."--Jacket.".
