Alligators and a Bold Bull in a Creek Encounter
A Florida cracker tale describes ninety six alligators pursuing a single dominant bull gator. The bull swims faster, gathers prey, and retches to a creek inlet where space runs tight. The others crowd the horn and neck, unable to pass, while the bull feeds. A Pilgrim’s quarrel aside, a brick-armed landlord scene follows in a murky street memory.
