{"product_id":"ballwin-david-fiedler-9781531619886","title":"Ballwin","description":"At the tender age of 21, a settler named John Ball bought 400 acres on Grand Glaize Creek in 1800 and began sowing crops and tending livestock. He had moved with his parents to Missouri as part of a migration of Kentucky settlers led by Daniel Boone and wanted to establish himself as his own man. That purchase and Ball's later platting of 17 city blocks along Manchester Road, the designated route to the state capitol, were the first steps in creating the town we know today as Ballwin. Using archival \u003cbr\u003ephotographs from the Ballwin Historical Commission and other sources, Ballwin traces the history of the area from the first settlers through to the present, focusing on the period \u003cbr\u003esince the city was incorporated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Fiedler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531619886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531619886\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 11\/09\/2005\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":"David Fiedler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124571107583,"sku":"9781531619886","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_152bf13d-c9e8-487c-8e20-c886eae0e3e6.jpg?v=1687437565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ballwin-david-fiedler-9781531619886","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
