{"product_id":"frontier-days-in-crescenta-valley-jo-anne-sadler-9781626195080","title":"Frontier Days in Crescenta Valley: Portraits of Life in the Foothills","description":"Modern Crescenta Valley practically defines the notion of quiet suburbia with its lovely homes and tree-lined streets. Yet the communities that lie north of Los Angeles between the Verdugo and San Gabriel Mountains once formed a vast, isolated, treeless, windstorm-swept dell. The settlers who stayed in this valley found day-to-day subsistence challenging. They farmed, hunted, tried bee ranching, gathered greasewood, cultivated vineyards and dodged rattlesnakes. As settlement in the area continued to develop, such refinements as literature and photography flourished. Join author Jo Anne Sadler as she brings the Valley's frontier days to life, recounting such quirks as a visit from a rainmaker and the reasons behind the construction of the gaudy local landmark the Gould Castle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo Anne Sadler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626195080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626195080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Jo Anne Sadler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082858897663,"sku":"9781626195080","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frontier-days-in-crescenta-valley-jo-anne-sadler-9781626195080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
