It is considered a classic of Indiana literature. It is the sequel to her earlier novel Freckles.The story takes place in Indiana, in and around the Limberlost Swamp. Even at the time, this impressive wetland region was being reduced by heavy logging, natural oil extraction and drainage for agriculture. (The swamp and forestland eventually ceased to exist, though projects since the 1990s have begun to restore a small part of it.)Other classic books by Gene Stratton-Porter include Freckles, The Harvester, Laddie, A Daughter of the Land, Her Father's Daughter, and Song of the Cardinal.
