{"product_id":"sports-of-santa-cruz-county-geoffrey-dunn-9781467130073","title":"Sports of Santa Cruz County","description":"Its inviting climate, enticing rugged mountains, and welcoming beaches have always made Santa Cruz County a haven for athletic activities. A wide variety of sporting endeavors, some beyond the norm, have called Santa Cruz home over the decades. In the 19th century, Santa Cruz served as a springboard for modern surfing. It was an early bastion for organized baseball, too, beginning in the 1860s, and it was home to a series of professional teams as early as the 1870s. Other colorful athletic activities took place here (including fire hose teams, long-distance walking, and bicycling), along with more traditional American sports like basketball, football, boxing, and tennis. The region boasts of a strong tradition of women athletes as well, in particular Marion Hollins, perhaps the greatest all-around woman athlete of the early 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey Dunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467130079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467130073\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 11\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.70w x 0.40d","brand":"Geoffrey Dunn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065781612799,"sku":"9781467130073","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4971d2bd-2abd-4731-8444-49b590f55312.jpg?v=1685403458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sports-of-santa-cruz-county-geoffrey-dunn-9781467130073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
