5.0 out of 5 stars
4th grade teacher loves this book,
By Teacher (Destin, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Land Remembered, Vol. 1 (Student Edition) (Paperback)
I teach 4th grade in a public Florida elementary school. We read this book in the spring as a class. The students are enthralled by it. Since we have already studied this time period in Social Studies, they can easily make connections because the book includes actual events from Florida's history.
I personally found the first book to be much more intersting than the second. Although both were good, the second covers a longer time period and thus must do so with less detail.

Early Florida Saga,
By
This review is from: A Land Remembered, Vol. 1 (Student Edition) (Paperback)
It's easy to see why almost every reviewer gave this book 5 stars. The story follows the MacIvey family from 1863 through three generations to the present. As they scratch out a hardscrabble living, the reader follows their experiences during the Civil War, and through Florida's pioneer days.
Immerse yourself in their struggle to build a home, drive cattle to market, start orchards, deal with rustlers, wild animals, life and death in Central Florida. You learn so much about Florida's early landscape and the damage done by settlement, as well as the effect on the Native Americans. Some of the homespun life reminds me of Rawling's classic, The Yearling. I highly recommend it, not just for Floridians, but for everyone to know more about their country's development in this unique region. The story is compelling.

The BEST book,
By
This review is from: A Land Remembered, Vol. 1 (Student Edition) (Paperback)
This is truley one of the best books I have ever read. I am currently reading it to my 4th grade class and they love it! Anyone that has visited or lived in Florida can appreciate the hardships and tribulations that the MacIvay family has had to live through. I would strongly recommend taking the time to read this remarkable story!
