This storyl is set in Indiana. Most of the action takes place
either in or around the Limberlost, or in the nearby, fictional
town of Onabasha. The novel's heroine, Elnora Comstock, is an
impoverished young woman who lives with her widowed mother,
Katharine Comstock, on the edge of the Limberlost. Elnora faces
cold neglect by her mother, a woman who feels ruined by the death
of her husband, Robert Comstock, who drowned in quicksand in the
swamp. Katharine blames Elnora for his death, because her husband
died while she gave birth to their daughter and could not come to
his rescue. The Comstocks make money by selling eggs and other farm
products, but Mrs. Comstock refuses to cut down a single tree in
the forest, or to delve for oil, as the neighbors around them are
doing, even though the added income would make their lives easier.

the state of Indiana. Her novel A Girl of the Limberlost was
