{"product_id":"before-buxton-lee-ann-simmers-dickey-9781892689542","title":"Before Buxton: The Muchakinock Years","description":"Before Buxton, there was Muchakinock... Coal camp, company town, and the largest settlement of African-Americans in Iowa, Muchakinock thrived from 1874 to 1900. Located on top of the coal seams which ran through southern Mahaska County, Iowa, Muchakinock existed because of Consolidation Coal - and when the mines played out and the company moved on, so did the town. Even the houses of Muchakinock were loaded onto railroad cars and moved to Buxton, in Monroe County, where new mines offered the promise of economic stability to black and white families alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Ann Simmers Dickey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1892689545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781892689542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PBL Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.19d","brand":"Lee Ann Simmers Dickey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939087876351,"sku":"9781892689542","price":21.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c4e0aff9-c1cc-491a-af9c-c266fa5f988f.jpg?v=1681439424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/before-buxton-lee-ann-simmers-dickey-9781892689542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
