A Land Remembered

I just finished this novel called A Land Remembered (1984) written by a man named Patrick D. Smith. This novel is considered historical fiction which takes place in pioneer Florida and spans from the years 1858-1968. It follows three generations of MacIveys who migrated from Georgia to avoid the conflicts of the American Civil War. They battle everything from starvation to illness within in the swampy confines of their new land. It is a more interesting read than I originally thought, especially if you live in Florida. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the ecological and/or historical aspects of Florida.
