{"product_id":"highland-9781540227744","title":"Highland","description":"In 1912, the Hammond Times boasted of available 10-, 20-, and 40-acre tracts \"located on the Ridge Road.\" That newspaper piece helped sell these tracts as part of a developing area that had an agriculture base but was also part of a region on the verge of joining the Industrial Revolution. The announcement's predictions rang true and, in a sense, told of the development of a town called Highland, Indiana. In the beginning, the town had its agricultural roots with it farms, open spaces, and prairies. As the steel mills along Lake Michigan grew into a major manufacturing hub and American society modernized, Highland evolved. The once developing turn-of-the-20th-century small town became a more urban and populated center. This book will show how Highland became one of the largest and most vibrant towns in Indiana.\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 12\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540227744\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":"Dan Helpingstine, Jim Roumbos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36658147852444,"sku":"9781540227744","price":27.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1c3a1ff7-8ffc-4f28-a1ef-3f0f427c87ce.jpg?v=1603892323","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/highland-9781540227744","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
