{"product_id":"california-pennsylvania-california-area-historical-society-9781531607555","title":"California, Pennsylvania","description":"Along the winding Monongahela River and forty miles south of Pittsburgh lies California, Pennsylvania. Hopeful prospectors settled the area in 1849 and named their town in honor of those hunting gold out West. California, Pennsylvania traces the growth of this Mon Valley town and nearby communities from the days of boatbuilding, coal mines, and railroads to today. Drawing on the California Area Historical Society's extensive collection of old newspapers, municipal documents, and vintage photographs from the Harry Harris Photographic Collection, this volume also explores the history of early houses and local businesses, and the emergence of higher education from a state normal school into the California University of Pennsylvania.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e California Area Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531607551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531607555\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 06\/10\/2003\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":"California Area Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979932401919,"sku":"9781531607555","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5512b5c-ebf5-47fc-91c4-71985ef53bd3.jpg?v=1683247471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/california-pennsylvania-california-area-historical-society-9781531607555","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
