{"product_id":"florence-pinal-county-historical-society-9781531630416","title":"Florence","description":"In 1866, Florence rose on the banks of the Gila River in south central Arizona. People came from near and far to this early settlement in the Arizona Territory, joining the Native Americans and Mexican \u003cbr\u003efarmers already established there. The town boomed with the discovery of a silver mine nearby. Politicians and lawyers followed when Florence \u003cbr\u003ebecame the seat of Pinal County in 1875, and when the Territorial Prison arrived in 1909, the community's future no longer depended upon the fickle mining business. World War II brought a prisoner-ofwar camp, and popular youth rodeos added to Florence's remarkable character and history. In the 1970s, citizens began a model effort to preserve their community's legacy and remaining historic structures. The major growth that early Florence anticipated is finally occurring all around the town, bringing change once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pinal County Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531630413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531630416\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 09\/19\/2007\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":"Pinal County Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962633539839,"sku":"9781531630416","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_985f5b2b-b942-4e95-809d-e79730356e8f.jpg?v=1750652054","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/florence-pinal-county-historical-society-9781531630416","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
