{"product_id":"gastonia-and-gaston-county-piper-peters-aheron-9781531604288","title":"Gastonia and Gaston County: North Carolina","description":"Located west of the Catawba River in the fertile North Carolina Piedmont, Gaston County brims with neighborly people and majestic vistas. With the advent of railroads in a Reconstructed South, the county united from High Shoals to Crowders Mountain and from Mount Holly to Bessemer City. Gastonia Station was born at the crossroads, and by 1910 the city's economy thrived and its population boomed. In 1926, Gaston residents again embraced progress as they witnessed the completion of the state's first four-lane highway through the area. While it eased the crowded trains and trolleys, the boulevard, now known as Franklin, would forever alter the rural landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Piper Peters Aheron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531604285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531604288\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 05\/01\/2005\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":"Piper Peters Aheron","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979930730751,"sku":"9781531604288","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4fc3753-df43-453d-af79-41f743114593.jpg?v=1683247465","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gastonia-and-gaston-county-piper-peters-aheron-9781531604288","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
