Gene Stratton-Porter

Gene Stratton-Porter waded into the Limberlost swamp with a heavy plate camera to photograph birds, and wrote fiction to pay for it - fiction that sold in the millions. The Harvester is her most beloved romance: a solitary man who grows medicinal herbs deep in the Indiana woods and sells them to the drug houses has long dreamed of a woman he has never met - until she appears. The botany is a working herbalist's, exact and loving.
