{"product_id":"downtown-vancouver-pat-jollota-9781531615864","title":"Downtown Vancouver","description":"Named for a British sea explorer, Vancouver was conceived in the early 1800s when Lewis and Clark camped at the waterfront and deemed the area ripe for settlement. The Hudson's Bay Company soon established its fur-trading empire here, and \"Fort Vancouver\" became the commercial center of the area. In 1849 American troops set up Columbia Barracks nearby, establishing the area as a military stronghold. In 1857 the city of Vancouver was incorporated, and gradually became an important industrial and residential city. Vancouver is now a big city, and along with nearby Portland, Oregon, is home to high-tech, maritime, lumber, and manufacturing industries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pat Jollota\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531615864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531615864\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 11\/11\/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":"Pat Jollota","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985525637375,"sku":"9781531615864","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41907520-6fda-4b0b-aa65-3aa445277ce4.jpg?v=1683278042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/downtown-vancouver-pat-jollota-9781531615864","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
