A LAND REMEBERED

“As affecting as Marjorie Rawlings’s The Yearling, as enthralling as Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, as provocative as Willa Cather’s My Antonia” — Ormond Beach News
“Few novels come along these days which for power of narration equal this. The reader comes to appreciate the people of all of America’s frontiers as he reads of the struggles, triumphs, and defeats of the intrepid MacIveys.” — Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle-Herald
