About the Author

Miles H. Plowden III is a seasoned storyteller and historian whose deep-rooted passion for Florida's rugged heritage shines through in his evocative narratives. Born and raised amid the sun-drenched landscapes of the American South, Plowden draws from a lifetime of immersion in the traditions of the state's early settlers to craft tales that blend adventure, folklore, and the unyielding spirit of the frontier. With a keen eye for detail and an authentic voice honed by years of research and personal exploration, he brings to life the colorful world of the Cracker cowboys—those resilient cattle herders who tamed the wild scrublands. Plowden's writing not only preserves a vanishing way of life but also invites readers to saddle up for journeys filled with humor, hardship, and heart. His debut work, 'CRACKERS IN THE SCRUB: Adventures and Stories about Florida’s Cracker Cowboys,' captures the essence of this iconic era, earning praise for its vivid storytelling and historical insight.
