Dear Mr. Patrick D. Smith,
As both a fan of all your books and a middle school Language Arts teacher, I have taught A Land Remembered for the past seven years. This year, I’ve had my sixth grade Literature class at Rosarian Academy, 807 North Flagler Drive, West Palm Beach read and journal this amazing book. In short…they have been captivated! When we complete the actual reading next week, they will begin a several week project of creating 24”X24” dioramas, depicting some aspect of the book. In support of this diorama, they (teams of four students) will also writing a narrative explaining the who, what, when, where, and why of their particular project. On Monday, May 21st, the students in each of the three sixth grade classes will use their class periods as an open house for parents, relatives, and friends. Clad in appropriate period dress which also connects to their dioramas, they will present their narratives, then answer questions about their projects and the book in general.
Thanks for all you have done for our kids and our state. God bless.
Sincerely,
Peter Cohane

"My wife and enjoyed A Land Remenbered so much that we bought copies and gave them as gifts. It is truly the best book I've ever read. My family has lived in Florida since before the Civil War. My Great Great Grandfather was in the Florida Cow Calvary. After reading A Land Remembered twice, we listened to it on tape as we traveled. You cannot drive I75 north and cross Paynes Prarie without thinking of Tobias and Emma. Thanks!!"

Holiday Specials on Student Versions of A Land Remembered Back on!!
What a priceless gift for younger readers. If you want to turn a child on to reading, this'll do it!
Many people don't realize that A Land Remembered is available in a two-volume student version. Young readers love it. We have heard from many parents and teachers that this book was just what was needed to teach a youngster the joy of reading (the kids tell us the same thing). Give your child, grandchild, niece, nephew or friend's children the gift of a lifelong love of reading by getting them started on a book that they are sure to finish. For older children (high school) we recommend the regular version of the book.

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. The invest it in buying land, once free to all, now owned and fenced and increasingly populated, until it becomes just "a land remembered."
Available as either softbound or hardbound.

The Beginning was written in the 1960s at the height of the Civil Rights movement, and its publication in 1967 brought varied reactions. As a whole, the novel was favorably received, but not without its share of controversy. There were those who agreed that the novel was an accurate reflection of the times, and there were those who objected to the way certain levels of society - both black and white - were portrayed.
It would have been impossible back then to write a novel about race relations in the South without taking shots from someone. Much has changed in the South and the nation since those turbulent times, particularly at this point in the United States' history. Perhaps enough time has now passed so that readers can view The Beginning as what it was intended to be: a look into a changing South where even issues of relations between races were not simply black and white but as complex as the motivations within the human heart.
This novel has been out of print for several years. Customers have repeatedly asked for it, and have paid premium prices of over $100 for used copies on eBay and other such sites. Now we are happy to make it available in paperback for only $16.95. - Holiday Price $14.95
