{"product_id":"leesburg-glorianne-fahs-9780738590790","title":"Leesburg","description":"In 1866, Evander Lee and his brother Calvin traveled to New York to purchase goods for a store they recently built in an unnamed settlement between Lake Griffin and Lake Harris. When the New York supplier asked the brothers where to ship the goods, Calvin paused and then responded, Ship 'em to Leesburg, Florida. From that day forward, the town had a name: Leesburg. Evander and his wife, Susannah, first arrived in 1857, the official date of Leesburg's founding, although several families had preceded the Lees. The first settler was Thomas Robertson, who homesteaded along the south shore of Lake Griffin in 1843. For more than 150 years, Leesburg, the Lakefront City, has been home to many legendary figures; among the most notable are western sharpshooter Annie Oakley, entrepreneur Edward Mote, writer and illustrator David Newell, newspaper columnists Norma Hendricks and Elizabeth Geiger, educator John Morgan Dabney, and agriculturalists Arthur and Florence May Bourlay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glorianne Fahs,Robert Aldo Grenier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738590797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738590790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Glorianne Fahs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48998629572863,"sku":"9780738590790","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leesburg-glorianne-fahs-9780738590790","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
