{"product_id":"ecorse-along-the-detroit-river-kathy-covert-warnes-9781467112093","title":"Ecorse: Along the Detroit River","description":"French explorers called the Ecorse River the \"river of bark,\" or Ecorces, because the Huron Indians who lived in the villages surrounding it wrapped their dead in the bark of the birch trees that grew along its banks. White pioneers settled on French ribbon farms along the Detroit River, and a small village called Grandport sprang up where the Ecorse River met the Detroit River. By 1836, Grandport, now known as Ecorse, had grown into a fishing and farming center, and, by the 1900s Ecorse had gained fame as a haven for bootleggers during Prohibition, an important shipbuilding center, and the home of several championship rowing teams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathy Covert Warnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467112097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467112093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.58w x 0.34d","brand":"Kathy Covert Warnes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936101466367,"sku":"9781467112093","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d49240a5-d4c7-4bb6-8171-bd7e8253f8fd.jpg?v=1681423596","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ecorse-along-the-detroit-river-kathy-covert-warnes-9781467112093","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
