{"product_id":"hill-country-hindsights-michael-barr-9781467153522","title":"Hill Country Hindsights: Stories from a Simpler Time","description":"Encounter fascinating characters and forgotten stories from the Texas Hill Country's past, before the crowds and amenities made life complicated. Settled by German immigrants in the 1840s, Fredericksburg's corner of the Texas Hill Country bustles with the trendy energy of an international tourist destination. But there was a time not long ago when the quiet community remained off the beaten path, even if it continued to draw in luminaries like O. Henry, Buck Taylor and Bob Hope. A working knowledge of Town Creek German wasn't necessary, but it sure came in handy. From the White Elephant Saloon to the 87 Drive-In, Michael Barr tours the bygone byways of the Hill Country, showcasing the heritage that predates the overbooked wine tours and vacation rentals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Barr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467153524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467153522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Michael Barr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069654692095,"sku":"9781467153522","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_842b2bda-34e1-482c-87f3-20720834bf6b.jpg?v=1685425798","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hill-country-hindsights-michael-barr-9781467153522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
