Diana of the Dunes
Diana of the Dunes: The True Story of Alice Gray | Janet Zenke Edwards
1 post | 1 read
In the fall of 1915, Alice Gray traded her life in Chicago for a solitary journey in the remote sand hills of northwest Indiana along Lake Michigan. Living in a fisherman's shack, she measured herself against nature rather than society's rigid conventions. Her audacity so bewitched reporters and a curious public that she became a legend in her own time--she became "Diana of the Dunes." Nearly a century later, the story is still a popular folktale, but questions remain. Who was Alice Gray? Why did this Phi Beta Kappa scholar leave Chicago? What happened to her soul mate, Paul Wilson? In this first-ever book about Diana of the Dunes, the mystery of Alice Gray is revealed by those who knew her and through new research. Excerpts from her dunes diary are published here for the first time since 1918. In these pages, rediscover the legend of Diana of the Dunes...and learn the truth.

My sisters plan an annual trip to visit States across America. Two years ago, we went to Indiana. I had heard about "singing dunes", so we ventured to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in search. Stopping at the Park gift shop , I had to have this book. After all, her name is Diana! Now, I just need to read it! #augustphotochallenge #impulsebuy

BookishFeminist The Indiana Dunes Lakeshore is beautiful. 😊 my partner and I usually stop there every trip from the east coast out to visit his family in Minnesota and take a quick beach break. ⛱ 8y
DivineDiana @BookishFeminist Yes, it is a beautiful park. Did you hear the "singing dunes"? Unfortunately, we did not. I understand that it depends on the wind. 8y
BookishFeminist @DivineDiana No, I haven't! But I'll be trying to hear them the next time we go. I hope you had a wonderful trip there! I love the idea your sister has visiting a state every summer. 8y
DivineDiana @BookishFeminist Yes, we did! We have discovered that each state has opened its beauty and heart to us. Wonderful adventures! 8y
