The story opens in 1858, when Tobias MacIvey arrives in the Florida wilderness to start a new life with his wife and infant son, and ends two generations later in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that the land has been exploited far beyond human need. The sweeping story that emerges is a rich, rugged Florida history featuring a memorable cast of crusty, indomitable Crackers battling wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the swamp. But their most formidable adversary turns out to be greed, including finally their own. Love and tenderness are here too: the hopes and passions of each new generation, friendships with the persecuted blacks and Indians, and respect for the land and its wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Land Remembered\u003c\/i\u003e has been ranked #1 Best Florida Book eight times in annual polls conducted by \u003ci\u003eFlorida Monthly Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and is winner of the Florida Historical Society's Tebeau Prize as the Most Outstanding Florida Historical Novel.\u003c\/b\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andre R.
