{"product_id":"superior-and-south-superior-frank-prevedel-9781531654283","title":"Superior and South Superior","description":"Superior and South Superior, established early in the 20th century, were unique individually but fully dependent upon each other. Superior, the company town, was nearly entirely owned by the Union Pacific Coal Company, which created the bulk of jobs in the communities. South Superior was privately owned and as a result most of the commercial business in town was located there. When the Union Pacific Railroad began switching from steam power for its locomotives to diesel power, the market for coal disappeared. The classic western pattern for ghost town creation was set. But though Superior disappeared, South Superior, while badly hurt economically, survived. It took the Superior name and was able to look forward to a diminished but stable and hopeful future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Prevedel, Sweetwater County Historical Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531654282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531654283\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\/13\/2011\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":"Frank Prevedel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936753582335,"sku":"9781531654283","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2b5e514f-9cf9-41bb-af11-9b50eb2cb160.jpg?v=1681426530","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/superior-and-south-superior-frank-prevedel-9781531654283","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
