{"product_id":"bridesburg-frederick-siegle-9781531621049","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 153162104X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531621049\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 08\/25\/2004\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":"Frederick Siegle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995745190143,"sku":"9781531621049","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48cfcae7-d939-45bb-b21c-cc6023a1e614.jpg?v=1683337595","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bridesburg-frederick-siegle-9781531621049","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
