Report on the Proposed Sand Dunes National Park Indiana
Mather ST. 1916. Report on the Proposed Sand Dunes National Park Indiana. 95781-17-8. National Park Service. Washington, D.C.
The sand dunes are admittedly wonderful, and they are inherently distinctive because they best illustrate the action of the wind on the sand accumulated from a great body of water. No national park or other Federal reservation offers this phenomenon for the pleasure and edification of the people, and no national park is as accessible. Furthermore, the dunes offer to the visitor extraordinary scenery, a large variety of plant life, magnificent bathing beaches, and splendid opportunities to camp and live in the wild country close to nature.
