A Girl of the Limberlost, a novel by American writer and naturalist Gene Stratton-Porter, was originally published August 1909 and is considered a classic of Indiana literature. It is a sequel to Stratton-Porter’s 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. Stratton-Porter is considered one of the most popular woman novelists of the era, who was known for her nature books and her editorials on McCall’s “Gene Stratton-Porter Page” as well as for her novels.
