{"product_id":"the-coast-guard-on-the-jackie-kyger-9781467150125","title":"The Coast Guard on the Texas Border","description":"The Revenue Cutter Service, which later merged with the U.S. Life-Saving Service to form the Coast Guard, patrolled South Texas as early as 1846. In 1852, the first lighthouse was built in Point Isabel, followed by the first lifesaving station in 1881. Salute the heroes who responded to the devastating hurricane of 1919 and stand watch with Chief Pablo Valent, the first Hispanic American to command a rescue station. From Commander Charles R. Wilson's oral history of World War II boot camp to the legacy of station keeper Wallace L. Reed, the longest-serving officer in charge, Dr. Jackie Kyger preserves the heritage of the men and women whose unofficial motto was Law and Order, on the Border.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jackie Kyger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467150126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467150125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.39d","brand":"Jackie Kyger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044711264511,"sku":"9781467150125","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09799cf7-ac4a-4c2b-9f56-a04d100cbc1a.jpg?v=1684974438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-coast-guard-on-the-jackie-kyger-9781467150125","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
