{"product_id":"blennerhassett-island-ray-swick-9781531612542","title":"Blennerhassett Island","description":"Images of America: Blennerhassett Island reveals for the first time the pictorial past of the Ohio River's most famous island. Located one-and-a-half miles west of Parkersburg, West Virginia, it sprang into national fame two centuries ago as the headquarters of Aaron Burr's 1806-1807 conspiracy to create an empire in the Southwest. The island also was renowned as the site of the American West's most beautiful home: the legendary Blennerhassett Mansion, completed in 1800 only to be destroyed by fire 11 years later. This \u003cbr\u003evolume's more than 200 fascinating pictures--most never published before--will take the reader on an exciting adventure through time, beginning with the island's glamorous Burr\/Blennerhassett years; through its 19th century steamboat era; and into the 20th century, when it became the playground of the Mid-Ohio Valley. The final images portray the 1980 creation of Blennerhassett Island as a popular West Virginia state park with the reconstructed \u003cbr\u003eBlennerhassett Mansion as its centerpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ray Swick, Christina Little\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531612547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531612542\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 09\/14\/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":"Ray Swick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989981102335,"sku":"9781531612542","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e014baf2-0352-4ec4-9dd7-e710fad0817b.jpg?v=1683302409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blennerhassett-island-ray-swick-9781531612542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
