{"product_id":"mount-pleasant-jeffrey-meyer-9781540200419","title":"Mount Pleasant","description":"From its earliest years, Mount Pleasant was known as the Athens of Iowa: a small town with a big story and a center of learning and culture. Even during the town s pioneer era, the citizens of Mount Pleasant championed education, establishing numerous schools and a college. Progressive ideals, including abolitionism and women s education, took root. As the home of Sen. James Harlan, an important ally of Abraham Lincoln, the city emerged as a bastion of support for the president. During the hardship of the Civil War, the community took up a second cause, becoming the location of the state mental health asylum. The drive for the improvement of life only increased, bolstered by the city s numerous schools, churches, and most importantly a spirit of community.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Meyer, John Hendrickson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540200418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540200419\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 09\/26\/2016\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":"Jeffrey Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491608162559,"sku":"9781540200419","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6dc4735-11cc-4f28-8d22-69b036de525e.jpg?v=1699452190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mount-pleasant-jeffrey-meyer-9781540200419","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
