A LAND REMEMBERED

A Land Remembered has become Florida’s favorite novel. Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history with a cast of memorable characters battling wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp.

A valuable resource for middle schools using the novel A Land Remembered Student Edition to explore Florida history, ecology, and contemporary issues. For each chapter the teacher is given Vocabulary/Slang, Pre-reading Student Activities, Comprehension Questions, and Post-reading Student Activities.

“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

“The personification of frontier life . . . the elemental struggle of man and nature.” — New York Times Book Review
