This past year I was contacted by Emmy award-winning father and son filmmakers Elam & Nic Stoltzfus who asked me to write the forward to their new book, The Great Florida Cattle Drive: Unbroken Circles. I was honored to do so. I am excited to let you know that it is now available!
This coffee table book chronicles the Great Florida Cattle Drive 2016 which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the first Great Florida Cattle Drive ’95. This event allowed people to experience the life of a Florida cow hunter on a cattle drive in the mid-1800s. The organizers of the cattle drive strove 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, the book also tells 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.
You can purchase The Great Florida Cattle Drive: Unbroken Circles at Amazon here or from the store page on the website for the Live Oak Production Group.
There is also a companion DVD and CD also available.
