{"product_id":"salem-tom-fuller-9781531646844","title":"Salem","description":"Long before the city of Salem got its name, the lush valley was a favorite winter camping location for the Kalapuya tribe. Jason Lee first ventured to Oregon in 1834, at the invitation of Northwest tribes, creating a mission and a settlement here. Native Americans called it \"Chemeketa.\" William H. Willson, who laid out the city plan in 1851, called it \"Salem.\" Both words mean \"peace.\" Salem's central location, in the middle of the Willamette Valley's agricultural belt, made it an ideal location for the new capital of Oregon. Since then, Salem's character has largely been influenced by the presence of woolen mills, crop production, and many state institutions. Surviving devastating floods and fires in all three state capitol buildings, Salem and its people have a history of resilience, leadership, and public service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Fuller, Christy Van Heukelem, Mission Mill Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531646840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531646844\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 06\/10\/2009\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":"Tom Fuller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979948982527,"sku":"9781531646844","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d109daf2-2806-4627-ac00-d25286d5acff.jpg?v=1683247534","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/salem-tom-fuller-9781531646844","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
