Aunt Cracker

When I say "Cracker"... this is what I mean. The first cattlemen in Florida were called "crackers" by the indians because they used the crack of whips to direct the cows. That's where it comes from. Just thought I'd share.

Folk etymology claims the term cracker originated from piney-woods Georgia and Florida pastoral yeomen's use
