Butch Harrison, A True Florida Cracker And A Story Teller, Tells Stories About Florida's Pioneers, Now On DVD

Vanishing World of a Florida Cracker Captured On DVD

About "Butch Harrison, A Florida Cracker Storyteller"

The DVD contains 58-minutes in three chapters. The first section, titled "Cracker Life," was filmed at a Florida pioneer homestead at Florida Capital State Park in Perry, Florida. It provides a rich introduction to early settler life. An authentic settler house and outbuildings provide the perfect background as Butch demonstrates how and why settlers built the typical "Cracker House," what they ate and how they lived. This will be enjoyed by all ages and is particularly popular in schools teaching about this era of Florida history.

In the second section, titled "Tales From A Gladesman," Butch tells tales of his life as a guide and gladesman in the Everglades. These are colorful stories of frogs, fish and alligators in the world that was Butch's playground, a world that is increasingly threatened today.

Finally, there is a bonus story of Butch's shenanigans as a young boy; you'll have to watch the DVD to find out about that one.

Nobody can tell a tale like Butch Harrison!

"Butch Harrison probably knows the true history of Florida better than anyone alive today. In his latest DVD, Butch Harrison Florida Cracker Storyteller, Butch educates and entertains with colorful stories authentically depicting Florida’s earliest pioneers, and how they lived, survived and settled in Florida’s sometimes harsh environment. Viewers of the DVD are also treated to a glimpse of Butch’s own Florida adventures and his exciting life as a guide in the Florida Everglades.

Butch Harrison is an original. He is a true Florida Cracker, and is very proud of his heritage, and of Florida’s remarkable and unique history. This is obvious to anyone who has had the pleasure of listening to Butch speak in person. However, if you can’t get the “live” Butch, then the Butch Harrison Florida Cracker Storyteller DVD is the next best thing.

Butch is a master story-teller, and the Butch Harrison Florida Cracker Storyteller DVD is well produced, educational, entertaining, and just plain good-old fun. Sit back and enjoy, and experience the stories of the real Florida, the only way they should be told – by a real Florida Cracker." ~ Bobby Cornwell
