{"product_id":"lakewood-steve-dunkelberger-9781531616588","title":"Lakewood","description":"The 20-square-mile expanse of picturesque lakes and Douglas fir groves in which Lakewood is nestled was first known as \"The Prairie,\" a vital crossroads between the Columbia River Gorge and Vancouver, British Columbia, for British fur traders and Native Americans. Fort Steilacoom became a stronghold of American interests before, during, and after the Indian War of 1855-1856 and was a crucible for men who would figure prominently in the Civil War. The prairie and the Lakes District later grew into a playground for Tacoma's wealthy. On one end of Lakewood, racers \u003cbr\u003esuch as Barney Oldfield and Eddie Rickenbacker entertained tens of thousands; while on the other end, health care professionals at Western State Hospital sought answers to mental illness. Lakewood still boasts the first golf club in the West--the Tacoma Country and Golf Club--and the internationally known Lakewold Gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Dunkelberger, Walter Neary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531616585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531616588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Steve Dunkelberger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936696008959,"sku":"9781531616588","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ba4379c2-cebc-4d3c-9696-2d128fb7263f.jpg?v=1681426362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lakewood-steve-dunkelberger-9781531616588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
