Description: The towering sand dunes along Lake Michigan are one of the most unexpected natural features of Indiana. This book brings to life the remarkable story of this extraordinary place: the wide diversity of plant and animal species; and the long history of competition for the land among farmers, fur traders, industrialists, conservationists, and urban and recreational planners.
