From American explorers to show-stopping entertainers like Lola Montez and General Tom Thumb; from the famine-starved Irish to persecuted German emigrants; the ivory-tinkling genius of Liszt and Mendelssohn to the horse-bound Comanche warriors of the Texan plains; from American opium magnates in China to the Irish soldiers who fought for Mexico; and from ground-breaking inventors to the Arctic explorers and Australian settlers who pushed against the frontiers of the known world. 1847 is a rich and stirring portrait of a chaotic world surging towards the modern age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Turtle Bunbury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0717168344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780717168347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gill Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.50w x 1.30d","brand":"Turtle Bunbury","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447758893311,"sku":"9780717168347","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9c8e616-d694-4ed6-9b6a-92a76dacbb20.jpg?v=1777234614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/1847-turtle-bunbury-9780717168347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
