{"product_id":"fort-logan-jack-stokes-ballard-9781531650063","title":"Fort Logan","description":"For most Colorado citizens, Fort Logan usually brings to mind the large national cemetery of the same name. Often unrealized is that nearby, there are fine, substantial brick buildings that mark the remains of a once-bustling military post. Fort Logan began in 1887 and became a part of the US Army's new network of urban-type forts with strategic rail links. Located in the beginning about eight miles southwest of Denver, it variously housed important infantry, cavalry, and engineer units and later served as a key recruit and discharge center. It also once attracted Denverites to elaborate parade ceremonies, stirring band concerts, and competitive athletic events. After World War II, it became property of the State of Colorado and today is the site of the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Fort Logan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Stokes Ballard, The Friends of Historic Fort Logan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531650066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531650063\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 10\/17\/2011\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":"Jack Stokes Ballard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44522539942143,"sku":"9781531650063","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd39ae9a-5d85-41c6-a1cc-2e1db41ecbf2.jpg?v=1700157781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fort-logan-jack-stokes-ballard-9781531650063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
