In this best-selling novel, Patrick Smith tells the story of three
generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family who battle the
hardships of the frontier to rise from a dirt-poor Cracker life to
the wealth and standing of real estate tycoons. The story opens in
1858, when Tobias MacIvey arrives in the Florida wilderness to
start a new life with his wife and infant son, and ends two
generations later in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that
the land has been exploited far beyond human need. The sweeping
story that emerges is a rich, rugged Florida history featuring a
memorable cast of crusty, indomitable Crackers battling wild
animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation,
hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the swamp. But
their most formidable adversary turns out to be greed, including
finally their own. Love and tenderness are here too: the hopes and
passions of each new generation, friendships with the persecuted
blacks and Indians, and respect for the land and its wildlife. A
Land Remembered was winner of the Florida Historical Society's
Tebeau Prize as the Most Outstanding Florida Historical Novel. Now
in its 14th hardcover printing, it has been in print since 1984 and
is also available in trade paperback.
