{"product_id":"the-little-lady-of-lagunitas-richard-henry-savage-9781438536613","title":"The Little Lady of Lagunitas","description":"The Little Lady of Lagunitas: A Franco-Californian Romance was originally published in 1892. Richard Henry Savage (1846-1903) was a soldier, engineer, diplomat, lawyer, novelist, civic leader and war hero. He graduated from West Point and became part of the Army Corp of Engineers. He worked on the Texas-Mexico frontier and as a chief engineer on a railroad in California. He wrote over 40 books. Savage died when he was run over by a horse-drawn wagon while crossing Sixth Avenue in New York City. An excerpt reads, \"Cannons roar: the yells of the green jacket and yellow scrape brigade rise on the silent reaches of the Punta de los Pinos. A procession winds up to the Carmel Mission. Governor Alvarado, his staff, the leading citizens, the highest families, and the sefioritas attend a mass of thanksgiving. Attired in light muslins, with here and there a bright-colored shawl giving a fleck of color, and silk kerchiefs --fleecy--the ladies' only other ornaments are the native flowers which glitter on the slopes of Monterey Bay. Bevies of dark-eyed girls steal glances at Andres, Ramon, or Jose, while music lends a hallowing charm to the holy father's voice as he bends before the decorated altar.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Henry Savage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438536615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438536613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Book Jungle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Richard Henry Savage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082760265983,"sku":"9781438536613","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-little-lady-of-lagunitas-richard-henry-savage-9781438536613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
