{"product_id":"bridesburg-frederick-siegle-9780738536057","title":"Bridesburg","description":"Bridesburg is located on a bend in the Delaware River in northeast Philadelphia, at the mouth of the old Frankford Creek. Traveling north on the river, the bend gives the illusion of a point of land projecting out into the water, hence the early Colonial name Point-No-Point. In 1800, Joseph Kirkbride envisioned a community at the mouth of Frankford Creek and purchased a large farm for his plan. He laid out lots and roads and operated a ferry across the creek, and with the passing of time, the village reached southward toward Philadelphia. Originally called Kirkbridesburg, the people dropped the Kirk and Bridesburg was born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Siegle,Teresa Pyott,Bridesburg Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738536059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738536057\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 08\/25\/2004\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 9.20h x 6.46w x 0.36d","brand":"Frederick Siegle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48998611157247,"sku":"9780738536057","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bridesburg-frederick-siegle-9780738536057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
