A Girl of the Limberlost (1909) is a novel by Gene Stratton-Porter.
An immediate bestseller, A Girl of the Limberlost—her fourth
novel—established Stratton-Porter’s reputation as a leading
naturalist and writer of the American Midwest. Written for children
and adults alike, A Girl of the Limberlost is a classic tale of
struggle and survival set in one of Indiana’s iconic wilderness
regions. Elnora Comstock has always felt different. Raised on the
edge of the vast Limberlost Swamp, her life is forever associated
with the death of her father, who drowned in quicksand while her
mother Katharine was going into labor. Despite this tragedy, her
mother has maintained a reverence for the swamp, refusing to sell
their land for timber or mineral rights like most of her neighbors
have done. Now a teenager, Elnora struggles to connect with other
high schoolers, most of whom are unaccustomed to the rhythms of the
natural world. Mired in poverty, she refuses to give up, soon
excelling in her classes and becoming an accomplished violinist.
Nevertheless, she still feels she must prove herself to her mother,
who remains stuck in the past. With a beautifully designed cover
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Gene
Stratton-Porter’s A Girl of the Limberlost is a classic work of
American literature reimagined for modern readers.
