Extractions: Gene Stratton-Porter (1863-1924) As a child, Gene Stratton-Porter's solitary habits were focused on nature study. She loved to observe birds and all manner of living things. This passion and a desire to support herself led to a career writing articles, which she illustrated with her own photographs. Her fiction, an immediate hit with national magazines, evolved into popular novels and poetry. Many of the books were based on nature themes and strong characters, such as in The Girl of the Limberlost . She became Indiana's most popular writer with a claimed 50 million readers, and eight of her books were made into movies. Her influence caused Americans to rethink the country's headlong rush into resource depletion and led the way for national conservation initiatives. In 1912, she purchased land on Sylvan Lake in northeast Indiana to build a second log home. This place, "Wildflower Woods," became an outdoor laboratory where she created research gardens and a wildlife refuge. Graphic: Gene Stratton-Porter's home on Sylvan Lake.

Extractions: If you love Indiana, she'll break your heart. Indiana people look at a creek and call it a ditch. They see a farm fencerow and tell you they'll clean it out for free just for the firewood. They complain about the condition of their roads, but spend millions on chemicals so that no cattail or wildflower will survive at the highway's edge. Hoosiers think that everything and everyone has a price. They have commodified both the land and themselves. In sum, they are the most devout materialists you will find anywhere. This page is dedicated to Indiana and to the many Hoosiers who strive tirelessly to defend the Indiana land, from the glacial moraine in the north to the limestone hills in the south. They lose more often than they win, but they keep coming back, pitting their small resources against the twin juggernauts of government and business. They are exactly the kind of people who in ancient times held the pass at Thermopylae. God bless them!
