{"product_id":"oilcloth-stories-carol-dean-henn-9781460240922","title":"Oilcloth Stories","description":"When immigrants from Central Europe arrived in America in the late 1800s and early 1900s, they often came to cities like Bethlehem, Pennsylvania - cities bursting with the new energies and opportunities of industrialization, and with the challenges of assimilating dozens of cultures into what had been pastoral communities only a few decades before. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor most immigrants, industrial working conditions were harsh and brutal, and living conditions were not much better. But the immigrants - Windish, Hungarians, Slovaks, and others - stayed and made lives for themselves ... lives that reached from nineteenth-century famine in Europe and the horrors of World War I to man's landing on the moon and the dawn of the computer age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is in the stories of individual lives that this immigrant journey can be glimpsed - in everyday stories, universally human stories - stories told around a table covered in oilcloth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Dean Henn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1460240928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781460240922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Carol Dean Henn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46401333919999,"sku":"9781460240922","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_51654067-43e7-4a3e-a46a-6efa779d2dbf.jpg?v=1733887346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oilcloth-stories-carol-dean-henn-9781460240922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
