{"product_id":"arvin-lamont-and-weedpatch-ruth-leon-barba-9781467103909","title":"Arvin, Lamont, and Weedpatch","description":"At the southernmost end of California's Central Valley lie Arvin, Lamont, and Weedpatch. Although each is distinct, their histories are intertwined. The Yokuts were in the area for thousands of years, followed by Spanish, Mexican, and US settlers. The first seeds of Arvin, Lamont, and Weedpatch were planted in the late 1800s. Over the years, agriculture became a central part of the economy and attracted people from all walks of life. The Dust Bowl and Mexican migrations left an impact on the area that is visible to this day. The Dust Bowl Festival immerses attendees in nostalgic memories of a life that was, and businesses and social, religious, and educational centers celebrate the vibrant Latino cultures that thrive in these communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Leon Barba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 146710390X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467103909\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 10\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Ruth Leon Barba","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936099565823,"sku":"9781467103909","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e2082ea5-66c4-4996-ada6-1ec44bc5c1b5.jpg?v=1681423584","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arvin-lamont-and-weedpatch-ruth-leon-barba-9781467103909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
