{"product_id":"hidden-history-of-cumberland-county-joseph-david-cress-9781609499907","title":"Hidden History of Cumberland County","description":"The rolling fields and quiet towns of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, belie its dynamic history. From slaves who escaped to freedom through Underground Railroad stations in Shippensburg and Boiling Springs to a telephone-like invention created by Lower Allen's Daniel Drawbaugh a full decade before the patent of Alexander Graham Bell, the pages of Cumberland County's history conceal long-forgotten but true tales. There are numerous but often-overlooked contributions from county residents--from 1920 to 1923, Newville hosted the first state police academy in the nation, and during World War II, a humble bandage invented in Carlisle saved countless lives. With an engaging collection of vignettes, author Joseph David Cress explores these and other hidden tales from the history of Cumberland County.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph David Cress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609499905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609499907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2013\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 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Joseph David Cress","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979360534783,"sku":"9781609499907","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_afe1cad5-e77c-44c4-8e94-31d5bee62f00.jpg?v=1683245138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hidden-history-of-cumberland-county-joseph-david-cress-9781609499907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
