A Land Remembered Student Edition
“The kids love the characters, the story … everything about the book.” Nancy Prizito, 4th Grade Teacher, Beachland Elementary, Vero Beach
A Land Remembered Student Edition 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 the gift of a lifelong love of reading by getting them started on a book they are sure to finish.
The story continues in chapters 24-45.
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”.

What A Land Remembered Has Taught Me
A Land Remembered has taught me to treasure the land that we’ve got, it has helped 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 my 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 negative and more positive. 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 positive “I know I can!” Or “You can do it! You’re just like any other genius!” It’s hard to think positive 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 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 trains whistle blowing! Cutting down trees, draining rivers, 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 of 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. For 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 Student Edition 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.

I first meet Patrick Smith at a FAME Conference in Orlando. I purchased a personal, signed copy of A Land Remembered and have since been hooked on his books. my husband started reading it first and he would read certain parts out loud to me and finally told him to hurry and finish so I could read it. I could not put it down once I started reading. As an Elem. Media Specialist, now retired, I purchased a copy for the collection and also the students editions, encouraged many teachers, students, friends and family to read ,”A Land Remembered”.
Elaine,
Thanks for being such an ardent fan of this book!

I love teaching my 8th graders about Florida History using “A Land Remembered” my only wish is that the story was on tape so that my low readers could hear and read along, thus hearing many of the Native American terms spoken correctly – just a thought – hope to see you either in Mt. Dora or Odessa! D.Kremp

You can find the book as an audio book on itunes here. https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/audiobook/a-land-remembered-unabridged/id484769398?mt=3&at=11lKUV
… and the swear words are PLENTIFUL! I think this ol’ lady will get the kid’s version!
Sounds like a good idea for you.
Hi, I am 4th grade teacher at a school in Martin County. We were in the middle of reading the student edition of volume 1 before we were quarantined. Is there an audio book of the student edition? I would really love to finish the book with me class. Thank you.
There isn’t one for students, but the entire book is available as an Audible book. You can check it out here: https://amzn.to/2z9lwxL.
There isn’t a lot that was changed in the student version, taking out swear words mostly.
Rick
I see where you say that the Audible version of the book does not include swear words. Is there a print version that takes out the swear words too? I’m concerned that some students’ families may object to some of the words used.
Kelly,
The audible version DOES include the swear words. It’s the original book. There is a printed student version does not have those words and there are some other minor changes to it. It also is split into 2 versions so to read the entire book, you need both volumes. You can find that version on this page above.
