This chapter will make use of three unpublished studies of the controversy over making a national park at Sleeping Bear Dunes: Brian Charles Kalt, "Sixties Sandstorm: The Fight Over Establishment of a Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, 1961-1970," undergraduate seminar paper, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 1994; Stephen J. Maddock, "An Analysis Of Local Opposition To The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore," Ph.D. dissertation, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 1971; Jonathan P.

Of these the Kalt study has been particularly helpful because of its extremely thorough research.
