Florida "Cracker House" Water Fall

This is a structure in my niece's backyard built to display a collection of antiques. The water fall is a reminder of the rain that would run off the tin roofs from our childhood. It has a lot of the stuff you would have seen in or around a typical "Cracker House" from Florida's past. The term "Cracker" came about from the cracking of the whips as the cowboys herded cattle to the gulf coast for sale to Cuba.

I recently read a book called "A Land Remembered" by Patrick D Smith, that tells about the difficult life of the Seminole, white and black families in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
