A Land Remembered
Book • 1984
A Land Remembered tells the sweeping story of the MacIvey family as they migrate from Georgia to the Florida wilderness in 1858 and build a kingdom through ranching and orange groves over more than a century.
The novel follows three generations—Tobias and Emma MacIvey, their son Zech, and grandson Solomon—as they battle the harsh frontier environment, including wild animals, hurricanes, and mosquitoes, while ultimately grappling with greed and environmental destruction.
The narrative explores themes of pioneer resilience, human kindness, and the tragic loss of Florida's natural beauty as the family's descendants abandon their connection to the land for commercial development.
