{"product_id":"troy-history-reader-don-rittner-9780937666722","title":"Troy History Reader: Vol. 1","description":"In Volume One you will find articles such as Norman Rockwell's relationship with Troy, how Troy promoted anti-slavery, the real story of Uncle Sam, and the connection between the early founding of the Boy Scouts and Troy's collar industry, to name a few of the eighteen stories in this edition. Famous as the Collar City, it literally invented the collar and cuff industry in 1827 when Hannah Montague cut off her husband's collar, washed it, and sewed it back on. Trojans made the iron hull plates for the USS Monitor which helped turn the Civil War in favor of the North. Amos Eaton founded the first science\/technology college and mentored many of the first geologists of America. The list goes on. The city was a magnet for inventors, scientists, writers, artists, and most other categories you can imagine. You will find a Trojan in almost every major American historical event from the American Revolution to the Industrial Revolution and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Rittner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0937666726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780937666722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Netherland Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.48d","brand":"Don Rittner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080029892863,"sku":"9780937666722","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15bf3780-4cc6-438a-bdb8-f9e379f46e0b.jpg?v=1685484541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/troy-history-reader-don-rittner-9780937666722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
