Carol Fiddia Laxton Tours home of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Pt. 1
On March 3, 2018 Carol Fiddia Laxton toured the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Home in Cross Creek, FL. She had last visited the home when she was 18 years old many decades before.

On March 3, 2018 Carol Fiddia Laxton toured the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Home in Cross Creek, FL. She had last visited the home when she was 18 years old many decades before. Her father wanted her to talk to Marjorie about what she was going to do after high school. Marjorie encouraged Carol to go to college for at least two years.
Carol's father and grandmother were close friends of the late Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Before writing "The Yearling" which won the Pulitzer Prize, Rawlings wrote "South Moon Under." The inspiration for the characters and setting for both books came from living with Carol's family back in the scrub of Marion County. There Marjorie learned the ins and outs of making moonshine, hunting, fishing and the "cracker ways" of early Florida.
You can hear Carol's talk about Rawlings in Part 2 of her visit to the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park.

Robert E. Carson was a professor of Humanities at the University of Florida from 1946-1971. In his youth, he worked as a professional musician playing the saxophone and clarinet in dance orchestras, theaters, hotels and for a brief time, vaudeville.
His first love was the violin which he started playing at the age of 4. Several years later he switched to the viola which he played in the Symphony Orchestra at the University of Florida for 25 years. He often performed at university events, receptions, weddings and other venues in the Gainesville community.
Professor Carson, or "Doc" as many called him, was a self-taught artist who began in watercolors at the age of 35. His works can be found in galleries as well as in other public locations and in private collections.
In 1966 author Gordon E. Bigelow asked Carson to provide sketches for his book, Frontier Eden, The Literary Career of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.
Following the publication of Bigelow's book, the University of Florida asked Carson if he would be willing to provide tours of the late Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings home in Cross Creek.
From 1968 to 1970 Carson and his wife Estelle stayed at the historic MKR home on weekends and served as the first hosts. Sadly, he died following a car accident leaving Cross Creek in 1971.
Carson’s legacy is being continued by his daughter, Elaine Carson Spencer, through the sale of his prints and note cards. 11 X 14 prints of the MKR home and the Cross Creek Bridge are $25.00 and a package of 10 note cards is $12.00. For more information or to place an order contact Elaine at
