Gene Stratton-Porter, born Geneva Grace Stratton in 1863, was an American novelist, naturalist and nature photographer from Wabash County, Indiana. Indiana's Limberlost Swamp gives the Limberlost novels their setting, among them Freckles (1904) and A Girl of the Limberlost (1909), and in 1917 Stratton-Porter pressed legislators to protect that swamp and other Indiana wetlands. Nature writing sits beside the fiction in The Song of the Cardinal (1906), What I Have Done With Birds (1907) and Music of the Wild (1910). Stratton-Porter wrote columns for magazines including McCall's and Good Housekeeping, and founded a film production company in 1924, the year Stratton-Porter died.
