Book Description
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 who battle wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp. In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series

Pages : 490
Book Description
"A Pioneer Story for Lauren" is a historical narrative set in the lush central part of Pennsylvania's wilderness. Chris Reardon, a woodsman, meets lovely Amy Whitehill on a wagon train traveling east. They fall in love and marry to face the strain of many frontier incidents. The happy couple respects each other, their neighbors, the land, and their God. It is a wholesome story for the whole family. A little about myself: I am an 80 years old, retired dental receptionist/assistant, homemaker (married 62 years), and have two lovely OR nurse daughters, a son-in-law, and a college student granddaughter. I've been a "born again" Christian for 45 years. I enjoy frontier history.
