In this best-selling novel, 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 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.

By an act of the 2006 Florida Legislature, a section of a major highway, SR 520 running from East Merritt Island across the Banana River to Cocoa Beach, was named the Patrick D. Smith Causeway. Secretary of State Sue Cobb was the dedication speaker with Senator Bill Posey acting as emcee. In June 2013, Smith was selected as one of the Great Floridians. Governor Rick Scott and his wife personally came to his home to give him this award.

A Land Remembered by Patrick D. Smith is a historical fiction novel. Spanning over three generations, the book covers over a century of Florida history. The focus of the book is the MacIveys. They are a fictional Florida cracker family who scraped to survive in the swamps and prairies of inland Florida. The novel opens with the wealthy and mysterious Solomon MacIvey. Elderly and nearing the end of his life, he drives through Miami to the Tamiami Trail and across to Punta Rassa, reminiscing about the changes wrought by time and contemplating his long-gone family. Solomon visits his half-Seminole brother, Toby Cypress. He apologizes for the mistakes and regrets he has with his life, legacy, and their relationship. Thus, begins A Land Remembered, which traces the lives of Solomon, his father Zechariah, and grandfather Tobias MacIvey.

Many of these historic moments and events seen in the novel are real moments in Florida history. Smith researched for the novel for over two years, and these moments are benchmarks in the MacIvey family history. These include the impact of the Civil War, the Great Freeze of 1895, the Florida land boom of the 1920s, the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926, the coming of the railroad, and the Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928.

Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

Patrick D. Smith here 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.

I just recently finished the book, "A Land Remembered," by Patrick D. Smith (Pineapple Press, 1984). It came highly recommended by my brother. He would have loaned me his copy, but it was on its third "loan out." It's a fascinating nostalgic saga telling the tales of three generations of Florida Crackers, starting with the migration of intrepid Tobias McIvey from Georgia to land near the Kissimmee River, north of Lake Okeechobee, to his son Zech, who shared time between the family "hammock" and Punta Rassa, the port destination of numerous cattle drives with his father, to Zech's son Sol, who developed the lands acquired by his grandfather and father down to Miami and points in between. This is a saga that stretches from riding a horse drawn "back board" through the flatwoods and swamps of central Florida to cruising Miami Beach in a Rolls Royce.

Successful land management involves understanding the ecological communities and the needs of the species present on the landscape. Management plans typically include an analysis and baseline documentation of on-site vegetation communities and habitats, land use types, existing conditions, cultural resources, site history, alterations, and disturbances.

Wildlife management is often a primary goal of public and private land owners. Quest can develop management measures to increase game species such as white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and bobwhite quail. Our ecologists can also help to maximize the success of a mitigation bank or public lands program by developing management recommendations to expand populations of protected plant and wildlife resources, or programs for controlling invasives such as feral hogs.

In VOLUME 1, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, with his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at his 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.

In VOLUME 2, with the birth of Zech and Glenda's son, Solomon, a new generation of MacIveys learns to ride horses, drive cattle, and teach rustlers a thing or two. Sol and his family earn more and more gold doubloons from cattle sales, as well as dollars from their orange groves. They invest it in buying land, once free to all, now owned and fenced and increasingly populated, until it becomes just a land remembered.
