{"product_id":"richmond-clinton-drake-9781467131193","title":"Richmond","description":"In 1822, a group of Americans immigrating to Stephen F. Austin's colony stopped at a bend in the Brazos River and built a fort. Originally called \"Fort Bend\" and \"Fort Settlement,\" Richmond was incorporated in May 1837. A prosperous river port, Richmond became a boomtown with the completion of the first railroad in Texas in 1855. One of the most notorious episodes in Richmond's history was the Jay Bird-Woodpecker War in 1888-1889, which led to a gun battle on the streets between the two political factions. Richmond was home to notable historical figures, including Jane Long, \"Mother of Texas;\" Mirabeau B. Lamar, second president of the Republic of Texas; \"Deaf\" Smith, Texas Revolutionary scout; Carry A. Nation, temperance activist with a penchant for smashing up saloons with a hatchet; and Hilmar Moore, longest-serving US mayor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clinton Drake, Theresa Jach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467131199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467131193\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 03\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.62w x 0.35d","brand":"Clinton Drake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065781743871,"sku":"9781467131193","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d71b39d3-4eb3-4237-b2af-57dc8da5b588.jpg?v=1685403459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/richmond-clinton-drake-9781467131193","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
