{"product_id":"hawthorne-dixon-walt-9780738529714","title":"Hawthorne","description":"A semi-rural alternative to bustling Los Angeles early in the 20th century, Hawthorne grew through the World War I years, welcoming oil wells and eventually airplane factories. The city became home to the chart-topping Beach Boys, athlete Jim Thorpe, and the greatest glamour blondes of their times, Marilyn Monroe and Mattel's Barbie. Bisected by Hawthorne Boulevard, the main north-south thoroughfare through the South Bay region, Hawthorne's notable events ran the gamut, from the annual Kiwanis Parade--second in California prestige only to Pasadena's Tournament of Roses\u003cbr\u003eParade--to a furious 1971 police gun-battle with the desperate Charles Manson gang. Today, the city is a support community to Los Angeles International Airport and the aerospace industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dixon Walt,Jerry Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738529710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738529714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.36w x 0.39d","brand":"Dixon Walt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637147582719,"sku":"9780738529714","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d7d10a7-3fde-4213-8180-1026b0bab0a0.jpg?v=1765114226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hawthorne-dixon-walt-9780738529714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
