Full of whip-crackin' cow-huntin' fun. Iris Wall was anything but an average girl. Average girls in 1948 were learning how to embroider and crochet. However, Iris was having the time of her life riding in rodeos, taming horses, and hunting cows with her daddy. The ultimate outdoor heroine, she was part of the Old Florida heritage that is synonymous with endurance, pride, and strength. A glossary of terms about cracker cowhunters is included in this biography.

My Take on the Book
I loved this book. It is the true story about Iris Wall who was born and raised in Florida. In fact she still lives there. She grew up in the 1930's in a family of horsemen: breaking horses, riding in rodeos, and even cowhunting with her father. She is still working her ranch today and has been given many awards for her work in the field of horses and the environment. This is a wonderful story for any family. You will be inspired by her life. I encourage to purchase this book and share it with everyone in your family.
