A FLORIDA CATTLE RANCH

Divided into five main sections, A Florida Cattle Ranch tells the story of one cattle ranch, and also the story of one state, one way of life, and one family's stewardship. It provides readers with a brief history of Florida, recounting how early Spanish, English, and Scottish settlers brought plants and animals with them to the "Land of Flowers" and how they learned to live with the flora and fauna that already thrived here. It describes Florida's terrain and some of the fascinating and beautiful creatures that live in Florida and specifically on the Adams Ranch. It gives a history and description of Adams Ranch: how it began, how it has improved, and how it has stayed the same. And, finally, it issues a plea to all the citizens of Florida to care for this unique land and its inhabitants.

"A Florida Cattle Ranch is a gem of a book--a MUST for anyone who has an interest in the 'true, natural Florida.' Both the text and the photographs are excellent. --Patrick Smith, author of A Land Remembered

"Bud Adams has a unique perspective. He not only appreciates the sensitive ecology of our state, but also understands the cattle industry and its role, both now and historically, in helping preserve Florida's wildlife. This book, in both its text and wonderful photography, gives others the chance to share his view." —Burt Tucker, President of the Florida Cattlemen's Association

"The mystery of Florida's natural ambience comes alive between the pages of Bud Adams' spectacular new documentary. In A Florida Cattle Ranch, this preeminent cattleman and environmentalist reveals the symbiotic relationship between the cattle industry and the subtropical beauty of the state." —Dr. Herb Chapman, Professor Emeritus, University of Florida
