{"product_id":"east-river-greater-astoria-historical-society-9781531622398","title":"East River","description":"The East River captures the history of New York's premier waterway. The river, a source of life for Native Americans, spawned communities from Brooklyn to Harlem. Its shipyards and docks projected American enterprise around the world. The waterfront, an industrial and commercial dynamo, forged a continent. The dreams of immigrants who arrived and lived on its banks created this nation. The river's strong currents guarded prisons and hospital quarantines while keeping secret legends of gold on its bottom. The sinews of a great city are knitted by more than a score of its tunnels and bridges. Today, a renaissance draws people to this river, the heart of New York.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greater Astoria Historical Society, Erik Baard, The Greater Astoria Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531622399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531622398\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 07\/13\/2005\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":"Greater Astoria Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936706199807,"sku":"9781531622398","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cb730bdb-9a23-41a1-baf3-b63b111226ce.jpg?v=1681426386","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/east-river-greater-astoria-historical-society-9781531622398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
