Publisher's Synopsis
Gene Stratton-Porter was an American author and naturalist. Stratton-Porter was also famous for being one of the first women to create a movie studio and production company. With the income she earned from bestsellers such as A Girl of the Limberlost and Freckles, Stratton-Porter provided support to the conservation of Limberlost Swamp and other areas in the state of Indiana. A Girl of the Limberlost is considered by most to be Stratton-Porter's greatest work. The novel is set in Indiana around Limberlost Swamp, and is a sequel to the book Freckles. The book tells the story of an impoverished young woman who lives with her mother who holds her responsible for the death of her father.
