{"product_id":"midland-virginia-florey-9780738520407","title":"Midland: Her Continuing Story","description":"Once a small settlement at the junction of the Tittabawassee and Chippewa Rivers, Midland began as a humble community and grew to become a testament to industrialization. Settlers populated the city and ambitiously founded a tiny lumbering village, which soon developed into a regional hub of the lumbering industry. Nearly a century after it was settled, Midland County experienced an oil boom, and consequently became the state's leader in oil production, bringing prosperity and further industrialization to the area.\u003cp\u003eIn their previous book, Midland: The Way We Were, Virginia Florey and Leona Seamster documented the significant people and places that have shaped Midland's rich history. In their second installment, Midland: Her Continuing Story, they have included the history of neighboring towns-Averill, Sanford, Coleman, Hope, and Edenville-that played a significant role in the lumbering era. Through nearly 200 historical photographs and a collection of unprecedented personal stories, Florey and Seamster again explore this fascinating region and focus on its proud heritage as an industrial leader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Florey, Leona Edited by Seamster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738520403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738520407\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 11\/06\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.64w x 0.33d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virginia Florey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925775384831,"sku":"9780738520407","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e9d4438d-6f44-4c4a-8a7c-07526edcba2c.jpg?v=1681079282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/midland-virginia-florey-9780738520407","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
