Description
A Land Remembered by Patrick D. Smith is a sweeping historical novel that explores the struggles and triumphs of three generations of the MacIvey family in Florida. Set against the backdrop of the state's rugged wilderness, the story spans over a century, from 1858 to 1968. The novel tells the tale of Tobias MacIvey, who arrives in the Florida wilderness with his wife and infant son, and his descendants as they battle to carve out a life amidst the harsh environment. Along the way, they face numerous challenges, including wild animals, rustlers, and the exploitation of the land by those seeking wealth. Through the eyes of this memorable cast of characters, Smith weaves a rich and rugged Florida history that is both poignant and powerful.
