As he impresses Mr. McLean, the camp's boss, with his grit and tenacity, he secures a job guarding the valuable timber in the Limberlost. The narrative paints a vivid portrait of the Limberlost swamp and Freckles' struggles to adapt to this wild and beautiful environment, setting the stage for his personal growth as he learns to protect both his job and the creatures that inhabit the land.
