{"product_id":"barstow-christine-toppenberg-9781531678203","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 Christine Toppenberg, Donald Atkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531678203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531678203\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\/2015\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":"Christine Toppenberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985555947775,"sku":"9781531678203","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a752424-da12-4d8e-91d6-545618744249.jpg?v=1683278216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/barstow-christine-toppenberg-9781531678203","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
