When Texas cowboy, Jesse Pruitt, purchases land in Florida he quickly
discovers ranching in Florida is uniquely different from ranching in
Texas. When Jesse's life intersects with Harriet Painter, a survivor of
abuse at the hands of her uncle Buford, Malachai McQueen, the son of an
El Paso working woman and others with names like Moccasin Bob and Pelo
Berryhill, what results is a case of murder, stolen identity, a runaway
girl in peril and a love story. Cracker Justice explores the true
history of the Sara Sota Vigilance Committee, a group of prominent
ranchers and business men who resorted to violent tactics to evict
squatters and farmers from the open range. It is a novel of Florida's
outlaw history that blends historical fact with engaging fictional
characters who revolve around the classic cowboy hero - Jesse Pruitt.
Cracker Justice combines all the essential parts of a classic Cracker
Western.
