1930's Cracker Kitchen

Marjorie Kinane Rawlings left a life of affluence and comfort in NYC, to become an orange farmer with her husband in Cross Creek Fla. The adversities of hurricanes, bugs and the other difficulties of farming in Florida in the 1930s, soon depleted her finances, and she took to writing novels based on her experiences, which have become American classics; the Yearling and Cross Creek were both made into successful films. This is part of her kitchen where she would whip up both cracker, and gourmet food. She would entertain extensively, and when she installed plumbing in her cracker home, (the first in the area), she invited the locals to a party where she filled the tub with ice for the cocktails.
