{"product_id":"little-city-of-black-diamonds-ralph-gray-9781547221653","title":"Little City of Black Diamonds: A Coal -Mining Story of Yesteryear","description":"Nestled in a hollow in the hills of Western Pennsylvania is the former coal-mining town of Marsteller, locally known as \"Mosscreek\". At its birth in the early 20th century, it was a company-owned town; and most of the miners had immigrated from Southern and Eastern Europe to fill the need of unskilled labor as the demand for coal increased. This book is a story about the colorful past of a town and its people; what life was like in the \"Little City of Black Diamonds\" which hummed with activity as it became a boom-town in the 1920's and 30's, and its decline after World War II as the demand for coal diminished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph Gray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1547221658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781547221653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.22d","brand":"Ralph Gray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939524641023,"sku":"9781547221653","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c80657bb-8383-4535-94a8-217c582b7cbe.jpg?v=1681442010","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/little-city-of-black-diamonds-ralph-gray-9781547221653","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
