	Biographical/Historical:	Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings moved to Alachua County, Flordia with her husband, Charles, in 1928. Both were journalists in Rochester, New York, and she was becoming discouraged about her career as a writer. Rawlings drew inspiration for her writing from the "big scrub" land and its "cracker" inhabitants. In 1933, she published her first novel, "South Moon Under," followed by the "The Yearling" and "Cross Creek." Over time, she divorced from Charles and later married Norton Baskin of St. Augustine. Subsequently, she divided her time between Cross Creek and St. Augustine, where Baskin ran a hotel. She willed her home and acreage to the University of Florida; the area has been maintained by the State of Florida since 1971 as a historic site and state park.
