Letter from Carl Sandburg to U. S. Senator Paul H. Douglas, 1958 | ||||
As part of their efforts to build national support for a park in the Middle West, members of the Save the Dunes Council appealed to one of the region's most well-known literary artists to lend his name, credibility, and heralded affection for the region to their battle. In this letter to Senator Paul Douglas, Carl Sandburg addressed the aesthetic wonders of the duneland, leaving it to the politicians to articulate arguments regarding the area's recreational attributes.
