{"product_id":"cahokia-9781531660420","title":"Cahokia","description":"In 1999, Cahokia will celebrate 300 years as the historic, closeknit community located directly across the great Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri. The village's proximity to St. Louis allows residents to enjoy all the cultural opportunities of a large city, while keeping its small-town atmosphere. Cahokia has a distinctive French heritage and is today still inhabited by many of the same families whose ancestors came to the \u003cbr\u003ecommunity in the 18th and 19th centuries. \u003cbr\u003eAmong the many fascinating pieces of Cahokia's history featured in this book is the Holy Family Parish, founded by missionary priests from Quebec. The first Mass was said there on December 8, 1698, establishing Holy Family as the oldest \u003cbr\u003econtinuous parish in the United States. Today, the treasured Holy Family Log Church, dating from 1799, occupies this site. Other images among the 200 shown here include the historic sites of the Cahokia Courthouse and Jarrot Mansion, as well as scenes of daily life around town.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531660420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\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":"Denita Reed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36657019060380,"sku":"9781531660420","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cf6515b6-4614-44a6-bdc9-39a7e20f1777.jpg?v=1603889554","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cahokia-9781531660420","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
