Patrick D. Smith “A Land Remembered,” Pineapple Press, 1984, 403 pp.
The novel begins in 1858 as Tobias MacIvey leaves
his Georgia farm with his wife and small child and heads to Florida to see if
he can find a better life there. The
story covers three generations of MacIveys from 1858 to 1968. I have just become a resident of Florida so
this book held my interest as I know little of its history. It served as a good introduction to the area
and I thank my friend Gerry for recommending it.
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.
