{"product_id":"barstow-christine-toppenberg-9781467134095","title":"Barstow","description":"This book tells the story of Barstow, a town born along the enigmatic Mojave River in the middle of the formidable Mojave Desert, nurtured by countless (and mostly nameless) fortune seekers and adventurers and settled by plain folks looking for something they could not quite name. Their footprints became the foundation for a trail, a road, a railroad, and, over time, part of the most legendary highway in the country: Route 66. The early arrival of an important centralized railyard, two major military installations, and spectacular silver and borax mining projects led the population to grow and thrive. Through this collection of photographs, Barstow's fascinating history is brought to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Atkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467134090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467134095\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 11\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Donald Atkinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992043192575,"sku":"9781467134095","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a977e360-9b10-48ad-8e55-e603f1098cd2.jpg?v=1683313720","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/barstow-christine-toppenberg-9781467134095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
