The Most Famous Cracker Cowboys in Florida Cattle Ranching History

Both men were avid cattle ranchers and built a big reputation for themselves, but in very different ways. Florida has a rich cowboy culture and history that is full of great stories of men who worked the land and made their livelihood by moving vast herds of cattle and profiting from the lucrative business opportunity in the 1800’s and 1900’s.

We have two short stories to tell about a rogue cow hunter and his legendary antics, and a man who grew from humble beginnings as a new pioneer and resident in Florida, to amassing a herd of 50,000 cattle and becoming a local Judge.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the two Cracker Cowboy legends of Bone Mizell and Ziba King.
