This early 20th century edition of Gene Stratton-Porter’s “Her Father’s Daughter” offers a glimpse into the popular novelist’s celebrated works exploring the natural world and the lives of women in rural America. Published just a year after its initial release, this Grosset & Dunlap reprint captures the essence of Porter’s storytelling during the height of her literary fame. Despite the absence of a dust jacket and some mild edge wear, the vibrant red linen binding remains intact, a testament to the book’s lasting appeal. While the early pages exhibit foxing, a common occurrence in vintage volumes, the deckle-edged text block remains remarkably clean, inviting readers to immerse themselves in Porter’s evocative descriptions of the Indiana landscapes she cherished. This copy offers collectors a chance to own a piece of early 20th century publishing history and experience the enduring charm of one of America’s most beloved naturalist writers.
