{"product_id":"around-fortescue-betty-higbee-9781531642464","title":"Around Fortescue","description":"Fortescue, a small island located in Downe Township, has a history that dates back to the early 1700s. Situated on the shores of the Delaware Bay, it was once portrayed as one of the finest locations for a summer resort, especially for those fond of fishing and hunting. Possessing many natural advantages at little expense to visitors, this charming village became an oasis for vacationers from surrounding towns and cities in the 1800s. At a time when roads were poor, visitors found Fortescue easily accessible by water or horse and buggy, and they flocked to bathe in the water and breathe the invigorating salt air. Although many of the tourist attractions are now gone, Fortescue continues to come alive in the early spring as fishermen return. Around Fortescue showcases the history of this small fishing community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betty Higbee, Clarence Jr. Higbee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531642462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531642464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Betty Higbee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991503307007,"sku":"9781531642464","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f193647-c153-4e39-8ee1-1b4119036a60.jpg?v=1683310682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/around-fortescue-betty-higbee-9781531642464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
