The hero is a one-handed adult orphan, described as a "plucky waif". Raised since infancy in a Chicago orphanage, he speaks with a powerful Irish accent. He applies for a job guarding timber in the Limberlost Swamp, and is accepted despite his youth and disability. He gives his name only as "Freckles", insisting that he has no name of his own. He claims the name given him in the orphanage (which we never learn) "is no more my name than it is yours".
Freckles develops an interest in the wildlife of the swamp and in natural history, and falls in love with a girl who is never given any name other than "the Swamp Angel" .... (courtesy of wikipedia.com)
