Because of its proximity to Gary and Chicago, Ogden Dunes was also a battleground between the forces that wished to conserve the dunes and those that pushed for industrializing them. Alice Gray, Diana of the Dunes; Dorothy Buell, who led the fight to create a national park; and Dale Messick, the creator of comic strip Brenda Starr: Girl Reporter were important members of the community. Over the years, Ogden Dunes has provided a creative and supportive environment for children and adults, especially those with artistic talents and interests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dick Meister, Ken Martin, Historical Society of Ogden Dunes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467111899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467111898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 6.63w x 0.34d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dick Meister","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936101204223,"sku":"9781467111898","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d40b6e50-6d5e-4422-ac31-96e1652e99a6.jpg?v=1681423594","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ogden-dunes-dick-meister-9781467111898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
