A Daughter of the Land

Mrs. Porter's stories are laid in Indiana, in the region of the Limberlost, a great swamp which has been "shorn, branded and tamed" by oilmen and lumbermen, who have driven away the many birds, moths and butterflies, and destroyed much of the plant life. "A Daughter of the Land" is Mrs. Porter's most ambitious novel. It is the life story of a girl up to the time of her second marriage. The heroine was the youngest of sixteen children and as a girl was denied the educational advantages given to her brothers. She had the courage to rebel and make her own life.
