Florida Pines and Pickaninnies.
Pines are the principal trees of this part of Florida, though
gnarled and mossy oaks are common. A glimpse of a sunset or the
glow of a forest fire behind a group of these trees outlined
against the sky forms many a beautiful picture. The pines are very
picturesque too, they stand so tall, and the gray Florida moss
hangs from their branches like draped garments.
A picturesque feature of the Florida woods is the numerous negro
cabins made of logs. All have the same kind of mud and stick
chimneys, built hardly up to the peak of the hut, so that when the
thick black smoke, perhaps full of sparks, comes out of the mouth
of the chimney, it curls against the under part of the projecting
shingles, and then passes away. It is certainly very curious that
the huts do not burn down, but it is a fact that they rarely do.
The cabins are very dirty, and passing one, you may see from two to
perhaps five negro "pickaninnies" laying in the sand with a pig or
two sometimes. The pigs here are commonly termed "razor-backs,"
because they are so small and thin that their backbones seem almost
to prick through their skin. This county is named Alachua (the ch
is pronounced as k), meaning in the Seminole Indian tongue "big
jug," because there is a sink in an open space that is called
Paine's Prairie when it is dry, and Kanapaha Lake when it is
changed--after a heavy rain--into a sheet of water. The sink is so
deep that no one has ever discovered the bottom.
