The Harvester

Gene Stratton-Porter returns us to her beloved Midwestern woodlands where The Harvester is a self-sufficient grower, reaper, and seller of medicinal plants. He harvests wild plants for medicines in the woodlands, fields, lakes, and marshes.

He and a "wonderful, alluring" lady ultimately find idyllic bliss in the pure, unspoiled woods, but not before her mysterious past is revealed and resolved.
