The Creek

The author recounts his experiences growing up in north central Florida, an area made famous by the author, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.

Summary

Except for one black family and “one writer from up north”, folks from Cross Creek were ornery, independent Crackers, J.T. Glisson writes in this memoir of growing up in the backwoods of north-central Florida. The time spanned the late twenties to the early fifties, and isolation and an abundance of mosquitoes and snakes were their claim to fame.
