A Land Remembered - by Patrick D Smith

A Land Remembered is a sweeping historical novel that tells the story of three generations of the MacIvey family in Florida, from their humble beginnings as dirt-poor Crackers to their rise as real estate tycoons.

This epic tale spans two centuries and features a cast of memorable characters battling against the harsh conditions of the frontier, including wild animals, rustlers, and freezes.

Despite these challenges, the MacIveys ultimately succumb to the greatest adversary of all: greed.

Throughout the novel, love and tenderness are also present, as the hopes and passions of each new generation are revealed, along with friendships with persecuted blacks and Indians, and a deep respect for the land and its wildlife.

With its rich, rugged history and memorable characters, A Land Remembered is a must-read for anyone interested in Florida's past or the human spirit.
