| Why it’s on the list | Patrick D. Smith’s saga of three generations of the MacIvey family in Florida, 1858–1968 — from backcountry subsistence through cattle driving and citrus to the real-estate development that paved over what they came for. Its spine is the making of an economy out of empty land. |
