{"product_id":"legendary-locals-of-mill-valley-joyce-kleiner-9781467101288","title":"Legendary Locals of Mill Valley, California","description":"Since the 1800s, Mill Valley has attracted spirited freethinkers, entrepreneurs, nature lovers, rabble-rousers, and more than a few rock stars. Early Mill Valley booster Sidney Cushing encouraged tourism with a train up Mount Tamalpais called \"the Crookedest Railroad in the World.\" Laura White, more concerned with protecting Mill Valley's natural beauty than attracting more people, brought the town its \"Outdoor Art Club\" and a tradition of conservationism. Vera Schultz broke the glass ceiling of local politics in 1946, and in 1973, 10-year-old Jenny Fulle's letter to President Nixon changed the future of America's female athletes. When an elementary school teacher named Rita Abrams wrote a song about why she loved Mill Valley, it became a national hit; so did a song about the heart of rock and roll, written by local boy Huey Lewis, who had attended that same school. The stories of Mill Valley's legendary locals--whether from 1890 or 1980--are sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes inspiring, often humorous, and always fascinating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joyce Kleiner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467101281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467101288\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 05\/26\/2014\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 6.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Joyce Kleiner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985640358143,"sku":"9781467101288","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f38d938-275c-4ac8-b3c0-dd70cd12e862.jpg?v=1683278704","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/legendary-locals-of-mill-valley-joyce-kleiner-9781467101288","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
