Dear Email Friend,
Enjoy the tale of 'Ter-
ence Maxwell O'More'
& his darlin' Angel:)
From what I remember
from high school, after
reading a bit about her
life, Gene Stratton-Porter
based the character of
the 'Bird Woman' on her-
self. 'A Girl of the Limber-
lost' was the sequel to
'Freckles,' although after
Gene died in a car accident,
I believe in 1921, her
daughter Jeannette wrote,
'Freckles Comes Home.'
I had actually read FCH
before its prequels- the
character of Freckles had
an entirely different per-
sonality in this last book-
he was bitter and nasty-
and although it was an
interesting tale, it was a
bit disjointed from the
other two stories.
There is, or was, a Limberlost
Timber Company from what
I understand- and a site that
has been dedicated to Gene
Stratton-Porter, which I will
try to link to...
Please let me know when
you're done with the story!
(click on the heart:)
