{"product_id":"from-horse-and-buggy-to-oscar-mo-schaer-9781426933196","title":"From Horse and Buggy to Space","description":"Oscar Schaer's family members were plain American folks who worked hard and contributed to the advancement of a great nation. In his memoir \u003ci\u003eFrom Horse and Buggy to Space, \u003c\/i\u003e Schaer shares his intriguing life story while providing a compelling glimpse back into history. From his first recollections growing up in Columbus, Ohio, when trash collectors traveled by horse and wagon and a Freezy Frozen Chocolate Malted Milkshake was the consolation prize for not crying during a smallpox vaccination, Schaer chronicles his ordinary-and sometimes extraordinary-journey through life. He recounts moments such as the time his blue collar family lost their home to foreclosure during the Great Depression, his first train ride was like as a young Navy enlistee during World War II, and how the GI bill helped him attend the University of Ohio as a mechanical engineering student. He provides an honest portrayal of what life was really like for a man lucky enough to live through two centuries. From horses and buggies to shiny Model T Fords to space exploration and international travel, Oscar Schaer's compilation of a lifetime of memories provides both a personal and historical legacy to be enjoyed and treasured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oscar (Mo) Schaer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1426933193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426933196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Oscar (Mo) Schaer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444812099839,"sku":"9781426933196","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53e91d21-4a49-4ca3-aa8c-8c1c40c83b4a.jpg?v=1777214718","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-horse-and-buggy-to-oscar-mo-schaer-9781426933196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
