Thunder on the St. Johns
by Lee Gramling. Paperback, 294 pgs. Pineapple Press Publishing, 1994.
Cracker Westerns are rip-roarin’
adventures full of crackling action; authentic historical details; real bad guys
and tough, upright good guys, who both know how to use a gun; and women who have
what it takes to survive on the frontier. But this frontier is Florida, which
was six-gun cattle country wilder than the West.
Follow Gramling’s character
Chance Ramsay, a riverboat gambler, as he travels south into the Florida
wilderness and is faced with outlaws threatening to take the lands and livestock
they want by force.
