Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dune Country The text and illustrations in this book are intended to depict a strange and picturesque country, with some of its interesting wild life, and few of the unique human characters that inhabit it. The big ranges of sand dunes that skirt the southern and eastern shores of Lake Michigan, and the strip of sparsely settled broken country back of them, contain a rich fund of material for the artist, poet, and nature lover, as well as for those who would seek out the oddities of human kind in by-paths remote from much travelled highways. In the following pages are some of the results of numerous sketching trips into this region, covering a series of years. Much material was found that was beyond the reach of the etching needle or the lead pencil, but many things seemed to come particularly within the province of those mediums, and they have both been freely used. While many interesting volumes could be filled by pencil and pen, this story of the dunes and the "back country" has been condensed as much as seems consistent with the portrayal of their essential characteristics.
