Bone Mizell Explained

Morgan Bonaparte "Bone" Mizell (1863–1921) was a Floridian cattle herder, and one of the early Florida frontiersmen known as Florida crackers. Mizell was known for his mischievous antics, and was regarded as a fun-loving and hard-drinking entertainer.[1] [2] He had an impressive physical appearance, standing six feet tall with a "protruding chin" and "hawk-like nose".[3] Frederic Remington depicted him in his 1895 painting A Cracker Cowboy.[4]
