Today’s author is Gene Stratton Porter (1864-1924). I thought Gene was a man for the longest time. I first read her books when I was a teenager. One summer when I was working at Mackinac City, we stopped at her birthplace museum in Indiana and picked up her biography. I am including it here.
Gene Stratton Porter, Novelist and Naturalist by Judith Reick Long, Copyright 1990.
The Song of the Cardinal. Copyright 1903. A lovely story about a bird. The Harvester, Copyright 1911. The Keeper of the Bees. Copyright 1925. I love this book; I have read it at least three times.
I did Freckles at an earlier date and I also have Michael O’Halloran but it is not complete as it is missing the first chapter.
