WHO WAS GENE STRATTON-PORTER

Gene (born Geneva) Grace Stratton is one of Indiana’s most famous female authors. She was a prime example of an independent woman, an accomplished naturalist, and a born story-teller.

Born near Wabash, Indiana on August 17, 1863, she was the youngest of 12 children. Her parents, Mark & Mary Stratton, raised their children on a farm near Lagro, Indiana, located in Wabash County. From a humble Hoosier homestead and with not even a high school diploma, Gene Stratton-Porter would eventually become a famous author, naturalist, talented photographer, and movie producer.


This is a lovely second edition copy put out by Doubleday Page and Co from 1926. It is in fantastic condition for it's age. The pages are slightly tan from age and there is a slight separation of the binding between pages 6 and 7, please refer to pics.
This is a beloved copy of mine that I have had for about 8 years. At the time of purchase these books in this condition could fetch up to about 99.00 dollars on ebay.
This beautiful story chronicles the life of James Lewis MacFarlane, a wounded veteran of World War I. He sets out on a great adventure after escaping from a military hospital where he is is doomed to die.
There are also 4 full color plates in the book.
