{"product_id":"san-juan-roseann-bacha-garza-9781531643843","title":"San Juan","description":"In 1904, when the railroad completed its expansion westward from Brownsville through the Rio Grande Valley, small towns were aligning the tracks. Rich, fertile valley territory was attractive to new settlers during the early 1900s, and land developers promoted a place where one could buy a piece of the American dream. Around the same time, immigrants from south of the border were arriving with dreams of starting a new life away from the tumult of the Mexican Revolution. Situated at the crossroads of both rail and roadways, San Juan was the optimal place to settle. Rapid agricultural growth had in turn fostered community growth. As San Juan celebrates 100 years of vitality, this book reflects and recalls why this city was known as the \"friendly city in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roseann Bacha-Garza, San Juan Economic Development Corporatio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531643841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531643843\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 02\/10\/2010\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":"Roseann Bacha-Garza","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989985460479,"sku":"9781531643843","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ccceae1-5983-4e20-8d75-ff4021aa55c0.jpg?v=1683302429","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/san-juan-roseann-bacha-garza-9781531643843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
