{"product_id":"beautiful-dreamer-ellen-hunter-ulken-9781413467369","title":"Beautiful Dreamer","description":"While East Coast composers of the mid-1800s continued to imitate the music of their European forebears, Pittsburgh native Stephen Foster infused his compositions with the rich and diverse flavors of river life. By mixing this \"western\" essence with the style of traditional English folk songs, he created an original American sound. \"Oh  Susannah,\" his first hit, became the banner song of forty-niners during the California gold rush. \"Old Kentucky Home,\" \"Old Folks at Home,\" \"Camptown Races\" and \"Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair\" are still sung a century and a half later. But despite the popularity of his music, the pioneer of American songwriting died in poverty. Beautiful Dreamer is his story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Hunter Ulken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1413467369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781413467369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2005 pg. 127","brand":"Ellen Hunter Ulken","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925535850751,"sku":"9781413467369","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b9ab6cfa-1908-4b2d-8980-e0ee99897907.jpg?v=1681077850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beautiful-dreamer-ellen-hunter-ulken-9781413467369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
