Freckles (1904) is a novel by Gene Stratton-Porter. An immediate
bestseller, Freckles-her second novel-established Stratton-Porter's
reputation as a leading naturalist and writer of the American
Midwest. Written for children and adults alike, Freckles is a
classic tale of struggle and survival set in one of Indiana's
iconic wilderness regions. Raised in an orphanage, targeted for his
red hair, accent, and missing right hand, Freckles grew accustomed
to constant abuse. As an adult, he escapes Chicago and makes his
way to the Limberlost Swamp, a vast wetland region along the Wabash
River in Indiana. There, he finds work with the Grand Rapids lumber
company, earning the trust of experienced woodsman McLean. Tasked
with walking the perimeter of the forest to protect the company's
land from thieves, Freckles gains a reputation as a dedicated and
efficient guardian of the trees. When a fight leaves him badly
injured, he meets a beautiful young girl while recovering from his
injuries. For the first time in his life, he knows what it is to be
loved. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
