Charles Croft is and has been working on his first book about his grandfather who was a Florida Cracker Cowboy. Although he passed away before Charles was born he grew up hearing stories about his grandfather. As a way to honor those before us, we each should record the life histories of our ancestors. There are too many great stories out there that are lost because people pass away without writing them down.
