{"product_id":"white-poplar-black-locust-louise-wagenknecht-9780870711633","title":"White Poplar, Black Locust","description":"Growing up in one of the West's last company lumber towns, a small community called Hilt on the California-Oregon border, Louise Wagenknecht witnessed the dying years of a unique way of life. The lumber boom of the 1950s and 1960s would devastate the ancient old-growth forests of the Klamath Mountains as well as the people of Hilt, whose lives were inextricably tied to the company lumber mill. \u003ci\u003eWhite Poplar, Black Locust\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of that transformation, but it is also something more--a noteworthy addition to the literature of place, and a sensitive and richly textured family memoir. As Wagenknecht unravels the threads that still bind her to both Hilt's history and her own, unforgettable characters emerge, and what should have been the happy ending to this story, the marriage of her divorced mother to a forester working for the Fruit Growers Supply Company, becomes instead the end of childhood innocence, foretelling the demise of the mill and the end of Hilt itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Originally published by the University of Nebraska Press in 2003, this first book in Louise Wagenknecht's trilogy about life in the Klamath Mountains is now available through Oregon State University Press, together with \u003ci\u003eLight on the Devils\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) and \u003ci\u003eShadows on the Klamath\u003c\/i\u003e (2021).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louise Wagenknecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870711636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870711633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oregon State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Louise Wagenknecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993827279103,"sku":"9780870711633","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8466624-cbbc-4a60-81f5-2ce3c7f38a35.jpg?v=1683326547","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/white-poplar-black-locust-louise-wagenknecht-9780870711633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
