November 5, 200422 yr Pick one only please! After 2 days or so I will pool the entries and we will vote. Also post a summary of the book or a link to amazon.com so people can check it out. A Land Remembered by Patrick D. Smith http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=books&n=507846 In this best-selling novel, now accessible to young readers, Patrick Smith tells the story of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family who battle the hardships of the frontier to rise from a dirt-poor Cracker life to the wealth and standing of real estate tycoons. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias MacIvey arrives in the Florida wilderness to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that the land has been exploited far beyond human need. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history. I like it because it's Florida history.
