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.

What A Land Remembered Has Taught Me
A Land Remembered has taught me to treasure the land that we’ve got, it has helped me out of thinking negative and into thinking positive, and last……. This book has made me feel emotions I have never felt before. Let me tell you more!
This book has taught me to treasure the land that we’ve got. That’s the first reason why I like this book. The land that is free should be for the animals, not for hotels, condos, and mini-malls. It should be only for the poor animals digging in the trash for a single scrap of food. Tobias, Zech, and Sol taught me that. The MacIvey’s are a unique, one-of-a-kind, earth-living family. I respect that 100%.
This book got me thinking less negatively and more positively. That’s my second reason why I like this book. I used to think “Oh. I can’t do this,” Or “He/she is doing better than me, I suck!” Now I think more positively “I know I can!” Or “You can do it! You’re just like any other genius!” It’s hard to think positively because my mom has three diseases, and my brother who knows a lot isn’t very patient with me. Sometimes I think he buys new patience at the store when he takes his time to help me! But the MacIveys NEVER gave up….So I will try my best to do the same through the tough times that I endure!
This book made me feel emotions I have never felt before! This is my third and final reason why I like the book! Soloman made me as furious as a train’s whistleblowing! Cutting down trees, draining rivers, and building hotels where hammocks once were. When Emma, Tobias, Glenda, Nip and Tuck, Ishmael, Zech, and Sol died, I was as lonesome as a lone wolf crying in the moonlight sky waiting for an answer from another wolf. The MacIvey clan came slowly and faded away fast. Sadness, and happiness all emotions I felt reading, A Land Remembered! A story of a family that was beloved and forgotten. The history that went with this once-read book is unexplainable.
In conclusion, these are the three reasons why I adore this book, A Land Remembered! It really has taught me to treasure the land we’ve got, to stay positive, not be negative, and to feel emotions I’ve never felt before.
I am a teacher in Orange County. I have taught A Land Remembered to my Freshmen. Although I am a Yankee Ohioan who always thought Ohio history was the best, A Land Remembered has given me new respect for the people who came to what is now the state of Florida. The story is told with such raw realism that even my most reluctant readers are interested. I read the story to my students because I can’t afford a class set, the story is so captivating I feel like I am telling them a personal story.
On a more personal note, As I drive through the state, I live in central Florida to visit my relatives in south Florida, I often think of the story. It is like I am a part of the state I now call home. Thanks to the author and your company for printing this wonderful story.
