A Land Remembered is a best-selling novel by Patrick Smith that tells the story of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family who rise from a dirt-poor Cracker life to the wealth and standing of real estate tycoons.

The story begins in 1858 with Tobias MacIvey, who arrives in the Florida wilderness to start a new life with his wife and infant son. It spans two generations, ending in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes the land has been exploited far beyond human need.

This sweeping tale is a rich, rugged Florida history featuring a memorable cast of indomitable Crackers battling wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the swamp. Their most formidable adversary turns out to be greed, including finally their own.

Love and tenderness are woven throughout: the hopes and passions of each new generation, friendships with persecuted blacks and Indians, and respect for the land and its wildlife.
