Excerpt from The Dune Country

Comparatively isolated human types are usually more interesting, for the reason that individual development and natural ruggedness have not been rounded and polished by social attrition.

Social attrition would have ruined old Sipes, a part of Whose story is in this book, and if it had ever been mentioned to him he probably would have thought that it was something that lived up in the woods that he had never seen.

Fictitious names have, for various reasons, been substituted for some of the characters in the fol lowing chapters. One of the old derelicts objected strenuously to the use of his name. I don't want to be in no book, said be. You can draw all the pitchers 0' me you want to, an' use 'em, but as fer names, there's nothin'

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.
