In 1911, Stratton-Porter published "The Harvester," a romance novel set in her beloved Midwestern woodlands featuring a Thoreau-esque hero. David Langston, the Harvester, is a reclusive young man who lives a solitary life cultivating medicinal herbs and flowers. Visions of a dream girl consume the young man until he meets the beautiful, but feeble, Ruth Jameson. This enchanting story of devotion and sacrifice set in the charming solace of nature will excite and captivate its audience from cover to cover.
