{"product_id":"ernie-pyles-southwest-bob-bales-9780944353134","title":"Ernie Pyle's Southwest","description":"This book is a collection of famed journalist Ernie Pyle's writings about the South West. The roads were bad, and nonexistent in many parts of the SW, when Ernie Pyle made his expeditions into the realm of solitude. The depression was gripping the nation during 1935-39, the period covered by these columns. He had been saddened by the sight of penniless America. Selling Apples, desperately seeking work, drifting from one place to another, blinded by the grip of the dust bowl, beset by cold and hunger in the big city. Ernie Pyle was seeking solace, not alone for himself, but for all Americans. He was a vicarious emissary of the destitute, dreaming of a Valhalla in the promised land. He thought the promised land as a whole, might be in the desert, and that is where he searched for it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Bales\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0944353134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780944353134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rivendell Book Factory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.16w x 0.60d","brand":"Bob Bales","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44716127092991,"sku":"9780944353134","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2f4e467-85c3-4e33-9fcd-498d361fd5d5.jpg?v=1705681180","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ernie-pyles-southwest-bob-bales-9780944353134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
