{"product_id":"west-salem-lynn-mack-9781531650094","title":"West Salem","description":"Few people realize that West Salem was an independent town for over 30 years. From its early development in the mid-19th century--when valley homesteaders grew wheat, hops, and fruits--to the founding of Fairview School in 1868, the opening of the Center Street Bridge across the Willamette River in 1886, the rail line in 1909, and a city charter in 1913 to the surrender of that charter to Salem in 1949, the West Salem area forged its own unique identity. Today, West Salem is a thriving community full of cherished memories alongside physical reminders of its independence, such as the Art Deco-style city hall and jailhouse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Mack, Debra Meaghers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531650090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531650094\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 11\/14\/2011\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":"Lynn Mack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985541595391,"sku":"9781531650094","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d772d59-776d-4a57-93e2-88e28844dd8b.jpg?v=1683278135","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/west-salem-lynn-mack-9781531650094","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
