{"product_id":"ashland-huntington-ironton-and-portsmouth-terry-baldridge-9781625450432","title":"Ashland, Huntington, Ironton, and Portsmouth Through Time","description":"River, iron, and rail when intertwined make up a rope that links the tri-state river cities of Huntington, West Virginia; Ashland, Kentucky; Ironton, Ohio; and Portsmouth, Ohio.\u003cbr\u003eThe Ohio River provided a quicker and convenient way for the pre-industrial settlers in eastern United States to move westward in their unending search for land, riches, and prominence. Iron manufacturing in the Hocking Valley brought jobs and stability that seemed at the time as inexhaustible as the sun itself.\u003cbr\u003eThe railroads brought further wealth to the hills and deep valleys where at one time farming had been the major source of income.\u003cbr\u003eHuntington is the largest of the area cities. The population is now approaching 50,000 inhabitants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Baldridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625450435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625450432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e America Through Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Terry Baldridge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449808335103,"sku":"9781625450432","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d40e95fd-ba96-4919-9428-9a2876e50edc.jpg?v=1777264998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ashland-huntington-ironton-and-portsmouth-terry-baldridge-9781625450432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
