{"product_id":"the-famine-ships-edward-laxton-9780805058444","title":"The Famine Ships: The Irish Exodus to America","description":"\u003cp\u003eBetween 1846 and 1851, more than one-million people--the potato famine emigrants--sailed from Ireland to America. Now, 150 years later, The Famine Ships tells of the courage and determination of those who crossed the Atlantic in leaky, overcrowded sailing ships and made new lives for themselves, among them the child Henry Ford and the twenty-six-year-old Patrick Kennedy, great-grandfather of John F. Kennedy. Edward Laxton conducted five years of research in Ireland and interviewed the emigrants' descents in the U.S. Portraits of people, ships, and towns, as well as facsimile passenger lists and tickets, are among the fascinating memorabilia in \u003ci\u003eThe Famine Ships.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Laxton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0805058443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805058444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Edward Laxton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986691096831,"sku":"9780805058444","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02eeba3d-fd00-455a-b98e-6bef07f668c6.jpg?v=1683284771","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-famine-ships-edward-laxton-9780805058444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
