Freckles
"Freckles" by Gene Stratton-Porter is a novel written in 1904. A young orphan with only one hand takes a job guarding valuable timber in Indiana's Limberlost Swamp.

His courage is tested when he encounters a mysterious girl he calls the Swamp Angel, and discovers deeper connections with his employer McLean, who offers him something he's never had—family.
