{"product_id":"forgotten-tales-of-rhode-island-jim-ignasher-9781596295865","title":"Forgotten Tales of Rhode Island","description":"Few Rhode Islanders remember the day a German submarine suddenly surfaced in Newport Harbor, or the escape of a bear, tiger and panther from a circus train on the Stonington Railroad. Still fewer may have heard about the World War II fighter plane that crash-landed in the middle of a secret listening post for intercepting enemy radio signals, tucked away on a farm in Scituate. Forgotten Tales digs deep into Rhode Island's history and unearths little-known stories and folklore that span three centuries. Read about the undertaker who dug his own grave, midnight gold diggers using magical diagrams, Smithfield's 'suicide bridge' and a pet elephant with a unique Achilles heel. Jim Ignasher delivers a strong dose of local color in this fascinating anecdotal history of the Ocean State.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Ignasher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596295864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596295865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Jim Ignasher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991657906431,"sku":"9781596295865","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27764e6c-11a6-47e1-9e06-1bfa86f01ef5.jpg?v=1683311525","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forgotten-tales-of-rhode-island-jim-ignasher-9781596295865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
