{"product_id":"stories-from-vermonts-marble-valley-mike-austin-9781596299252","title":"Stories from Vermont's Marble Valley","description":"In the nineteenth century, Rutland was the center of a booming marble industry. By the early twentieth century, the Vermont Marble Company was considered the largest U.S. corporation in the world. Today, the region of southwestern Vermont that runs from Middlebury in the north to Dorset in the south is still called the Marble Valley, ? and visitors flock every year to tour the Vermont Marble Museum and the International Carving Studio and to picnic in the quarries. In this first comprehensive history, Mike Austin chronicles the hardships, religious lives, labor struggles and triumphs of the Marble Valley's workers and industrious settlers. Complete with excerpts from firsthand accounts and news clippings, this wide-scoping history gives an intimate portrayal of the men and women who shaped the Vermont Marble Valley and made it their home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Austin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596299258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596299252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Mike Austin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987916914943,"sku":"9781596299252","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4ef2242-c731-477d-a633-889350ec690a.jpg?v=1683291603","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stories-from-vermonts-marble-valley-mike-austin-9781596299252","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
