{"product_id":"the-last-american-highway-stew-magnuson-9781505586497","title":"The Last American Highway: A Journey Through Time Down U.S Route 83: Nebraska Kansas Oklahoma","description":"Descending 1,885 miles straight down the center of the United States from Westhope, North Dakota, to Brownsville, Texas, is U.S. 83, one of the oldest and longest of the federal highways that hasn't been replaced by an Interstate. Award-winning author Stew Magnuson takes readers on a trip through the Nebraska Sand Hills, the Smoky River Valley in Kansas and the singular Oklahoma Panhandle. Along the route are the stories of the famous, the infamous, and the forgotten. Buffalo Bill Cody hunted these lands, but what about Buffalo Jones, who set out to save the American bison from extinction? This is where the ruthless, but now largely forgotten bank robbers, the Fleagles committed their most heinous crime; where the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia met George Armstrong Custer and Pussy Cat Nell dispatched the corrupt Sheriff \"Brushy\" Bush with a shotgun blast. What ties together President Eisenhower, the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and author Truman Capote? Highway 83, of course.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stew Magnuson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505586496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505586497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.53d","brand":"Stew Magnuson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989941846271,"sku":"9781505586497","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80f6a279-5244-4263-8d46-f6c6c080665f.jpg?v=1683302194","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-last-american-highway-stew-magnuson-9781505586497","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
