{"product_id":"it-seems-like-only-yesterday-robert-lenon-9780595664498","title":"It Seems Like Only Yesterday: Mining and Mapping in Arizona's First Century Vol 1: The Yuma Years","description":"Bob Lenon came to Yuma as a first-grader in 1914, only two years after Arizona became the last of the contiguous 48 states to join the union. He remembers vividly the transformation of that primitive land, with dirt roads and tire tracks where Interstate Highways stand today. \u003cp\u003eBob grew up listening to tales of his neighbors--old prospectors and miners. Inspired by them, he became a mining engineer and an intrinsic part of the process by which copper, gold, and other metals were extracted from Arizona rock. In his 90 years of residence in Arizona, he has witnessed many changes, and, in fact, he mapped a lot of them!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this first of two volumes, he describes how his family came from their ancestral home in Scotland to Pennsylvania, Iowa, Nebraska, and finally Arizona. Then, in detail, he recalls the Yuma he knew as a boy--a town of a few thousand souls with many stories to tell. Now he is ready to tell his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Lenon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595664490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595664498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Robert Lenon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48443578450175,"sku":"9780595664498","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aaeb0cfa-b266-4c8f-9d38-7eb0784339a5.jpg?v=1777206387","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/it-seems-like-only-yesterday-robert-lenon-9780595664498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
