{"product_id":"val-verde-county-douglas-braudaway-9781531600839","title":"Val Verde County","description":"Along the banks of the Rio Grande lies Val Verde County, one of the largest counties in Texas and the only one named for a Civil War battle. Although Del Rio is the county seat, Langtry is more famous as the home of Judge Roy Bean, the famous (as well as \u003cbr\u003einfamous) Law West of the Pecos. Among the many evocative images of the county featured in this new \u003cbr\u003ebook are photos of the judge's unique court\/saloon. Val Verde County captures the spirit of a region and its people through historic photographs. Most of the topics included are not strictly local in nature: \u003cbr\u003ePre-Columbian art, United States westward expansion, \u003cbr\u003ethe creation of the state of Texas, radio and modern \u003cbr\u003etelecommunications, military history and the Cuban \u003cbr\u003eMissile Crisis, and the oldest continually operating \u003cbr\u003ewinery in Texas. From being the oldest archaeological \u003cbr\u003esite in Texas to playing a role in international relations between the United States and Mexico, Val Verde County undoubtedly has a rich and varied history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Braudaway, Verde County Historical Commission Val, Val Verde County Historical Commission\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531600832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531600839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Douglas Braudaway","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124566782207,"sku":"9781531600839","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e345146-9271-45cf-b823-596d9c44c137.jpg?v=1687437543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/val-verde-county-douglas-braudaway-9781531600839","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
