{"product_id":"homesteading-and-settling-the-frontier-alison-morretta-9781502626417","title":"Homesteading and Settling the Frontier","description":"The Homestead Act was passed in 1862, when states that had seceded from the Union could no longer block it in congress. The act opened land in the west for all Americans, including freed slaves, granting 160 acres to settlers under the condition that they farm it for five years. The result was that 1.6 million claims, covering 420,000 square miles, were granted, making residents of millions of people in the land west of the Mississippi River. This book richly explores this fascinating part of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Morretta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1502626411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781502626417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cavendish Square Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2017","brand":"Alison Morretta","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":44055667245311,"sku":"9781502626417","price":35.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_595b66ff-3951-4678-9559-56275f9b43c3.jpg?v=1685037090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homesteading-and-settling-the-frontier-alison-morretta-9781502626417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
