{"product_id":"hamburg-hardcover","title":"Hamburg - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eJohn R. Edson\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHamburg has grown in all directions since its first settler, \u003cbr\u003eJohn Cummings, came to Water Valley in 1806 and \u003cbr\u003ebuilt his mill on the banks of Eighteen Mile Creek. Hamburg's \u003cbr\u003eearly settlements frequently changed their names as they grew. \u003cbr\u003eJacob Wright's 1808 tavern at Abbott's Corners developed into \u003cbr\u003eArmor, and the 1811 brick gristmill of the Smith brothers became \u003cbr\u003eknown as Smithville and then White's Corners, before it grew into \u003cbr\u003eHamburg village. The train stop in northern Hamburg received its \u003cbr\u003ename when postmaster Heman Blasdell hung a sign bearing his last \u003cbr\u003ename on the hamlet's tiny railroad shanty. \u003cbr\u003eUsing more than 200 stunning photographs and postcards, \u003cbr\u003eincluding many never published before, Hamburg records the \u003cbr\u003eexcitement of life in this community in days gone by. Rich with \u003cbr\u003eimages of Hamburg's golden years of growth and prosperity at the \u003cbr\u003ebeginning of the twentieth century, the book brings back some of the \u003cbr\u003etown's lost architecture: the B.M. Fish Dry Goods Store, Biehler's \u003cbr\u003eTea Room, the Hamburg Academy, and Kopp's Opera House, where \u003cbr\u003elarge gatherings, such as the Hamburg Free Library Annual Ball, were \u003cbr\u003eheld. It shows the reported birth of the hamburger at the Erie County \u003cbr\u003eFair and revisits the lazy summer days at Woodlawn Beach. It even \u003cbr\u003ecaptures a gang of pig rustlers who terrorized Blasdell in 1906.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 09, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42716047638591,"sku":"9781531603021","price":51.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/5e02675fa98f8b4c933c86e39edaeb51.webp?v=1765073550","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/hamburg-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
