{"product_id":"river-of-cliffs-christopher-blake-9781540217332","title":"River of Cliffs: A Linville Gorge History","description":"Linville Gorge was the first Wilderness Area on the East Coast, approved by Congress in 1964. \"The Grand Canyon of the East\" was named for William Linville, a member of a party of long hunters in 1766 who fell victim to a Shawnee attack. The difficult terrain made early settlements nearly impossible and logging unprofitable, and it remains one of the few examples of old-growth forest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Unique rock formations, from Table Rock to the Chimneys, and miles of trails attract thousands of climbers, hikers and adventure seekers each year. In this revised edition, author Christopher Blake draws on American colonial reports, travel writings, diaries, fiction and numerous archival records to weave a narrative fabric of an American treasure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540217337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540217332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Christopher Blake","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986941640959,"sku":"9781540217332","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9c9843b-c35f-425d-85cd-9fc58e74f719.jpg?v=1683286067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/river-of-cliffs-christopher-blake-9781540217332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
