{"product_id":"the-genesis-of-reno-jack-harpster-9781943859238","title":"The Genesis of Reno: The History of the Riverside Hotel and the Virginia Street Bridge","description":"Over 157 years ago--before there was a Reno, Nevada; before there was a state of Nevada; and even before there was a Nevada Territory--there was a bridge over the Truckee River at a narrow, deeply rutted cattle and wagon trail that would one day become Virginia Street. There was also a small rustic inn and tavern occupying a plot of ground at the southern end of the log-and-timber bridge, catering to thirsty cowboys, drovers, and miners. The inn and the bridge were the first two structures in what would one day be a bustling metropolitan area, and to this day they still form the nucleus of the city. \u003ci\u003eThe Genesis of Reno\u003c\/i\u003e traces their history up to the present day. The 111 year-old concrete bridge that was replaced in 2016 by a magnificent new structure was honored for its longevity and unique character with placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Harpster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194385923X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943859238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nevada Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Jack Harpster","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070002884863,"sku":"9781943859238","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1970ab7-c5e6-452e-abbc-7a227c8a50b2.jpg?v=1685427774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-genesis-of-reno-jack-harpster-9781943859238","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
