{"product_id":"carthage-missouri-michelle-newton-hansford-9781531604752","title":"Carthage, Missouri","description":"Translated as \"New City,\" Carthage was founded in 1842 as the county seat of Jasper in southwest Missouri. The town prospered for two decades until \u003cbr\u003emilitary advances during the Civil War destroyed the entire town and dispersed its population. This volume, assembled by the Powers Museum, offers a pictorial glimpse into the rebuilding and growth of \u003cbr\u003ethis historic city during its most influential years. \u003cbr\u003eThe citizens of Carthage quickly rebuilt the city during the late 1860s and early 1870s, and eventually \u003cbr\u003ereclaimed its pre-war prominence as an agricultural \u003cbr\u003eand trade center located at the edge of the northern \u003cbr\u003eprairies and the Ozark foothills. When lead, zinc, and limestone were discovered and developed into \u003cbr\u003eprosperous industries, families began to arrive from \u003cbr\u003eall over to take advantage of the area's economic \u003cbr\u003eopportunities. Carthage's trademark Victorian \u003cbr\u003earchitecture, still in place today, is a result of the economic affluence of the town during this late \u003cbr\u003enineteenth and early twentieth century period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Newton Hansford, Michele Newton Hansford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531604757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531604752\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\/09\/2000\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":"Michelle Newton Hansford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936669729023,"sku":"9781531604752","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_07779369-b3d8-4ebc-9d4a-8a4b6a0b1c7b.jpg?v=1681426309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carthage-missouri-michelle-newton-hansford-9781531604752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
