Tense race relations, the chilling rise of the Ku Klux Klan, and the dangerous thrills of a notorious vice district-- \"Hell's Half-Acre\"--show that this Texas city was a microcosm of the state and the nation when the roar of the 1920s came to an abrupt halt in the Great Depression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFort Worth between the World Wars \u003c\/i\u003eis an important contribution not only to local history but also to the larger story of urban change during a tumultuous time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harold Rich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623498392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623498399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Harold Rich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097028108543,"sku":"9781623498399","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fort-worth-between-the-world-harold-rich-9781623498399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
