The Harvester( aka David Langston) lives with his dog,Belshazzar(Bel), the woods of Indiana, in a cosy cabin, and he harvests and cures herbs for a living. But one night he has a vision of a girl. The girl of his dreams. He and his "wonderful, alluring" Ruth ultimately find idyllic bliss in the pure, unspoiled woods, but not before her mysterious past is revealed and resolved.~~~~~~~
I truly loved the story. David is so sweet(you wish every guy were like that), and Ruth is lovely.
But Gene Stratton-Porter is such a "nature" writer. She lived in Indiana around a swamp, and when she needed inspiration, she would just go into the swamp, and always got it. The nature parts were so nice to read, it was written in such a way that it wasn't over descriptive, just perfect so you can picture it well in your mind.
