“The Harvester,” David Langston, is a man of the woods and fields,
who draws his living from the prodigal hand of Mother Nature
herself. If the book had nothing in it but the splendid figure of
this man, with his sure grip on life, his superb optimism, and his
almost miraculous knowledge of nature secrets, it would be notable.
But when the Girl comes to his “Medicine Woods,” and the Harvester’s
whole sound, healthy, large outdoor being realizes that this is the
highest point of life which has come to him--there begins a romance,
troubled and interrupted, yet of the rarest idyllic quality.

Freckles is a nameless waif when the tale opens, but the way in
which he takes hold of life; the nature friendships he forms in the
great Limberlost Swamp; the manner in which everyone who meets him
succumbs to the charm of his engaging personality; and his
love-story with “The Angel” are full of real sentiment.
