This beautifully photographed coffee table book chronicles the Great Florida Cattle Drive 2016 which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the first Great Florida Cattle Drive ’95. People who participate in this event get to re-live the life of a Florida cow hunter on a cattle drive in the mid-1800s. The organizers of the cattle drive strive to make it as historically accurate as possible. In fact, in one of the early years, Dad (Patrick Smith) rode along on one of the drives. 

You not only get to experience the riders’ adventures on this special journey, you also learn the history of Florida’s heritage cattle breed and how they almost went extinct. In addition, it includes a section on the making of the Great Florida Cattle Drive 2016 documentary which is available on DVD.

I was contacted by Emmy award-winning father and son filmmakers Elam & Nic Stoltzfus (Live Oak Production Groupto write the forward to their book, The Great Florida Cattle Drive: Unbroken Circles. I was honored to do so.

I am loving the book! – Trudy Trask, Christmas, FL
