{"product_id":"lakewood-9780738530451","title":"Lakewood","description":"The 20-square-mile expanse of picturesque lakes and Douglas fir groves in which Lakewood is nestled was first known as \"The Prairie,\" a vital crossroads between the Columbia River Gorge and Vancouver, British Columbia, for British fur traders and Native Americans. Fort Steilacoom became a stronghold of American interests before, during, and after the Indian War of 1855-1856 and was a crucible for men who would figure prominently in the Civil War. The prairie and the Lakes District later grew into a playground for Tacoma's wealthy. On one end of Lakewood, racers\u003cbr\u003esuch as Barney Oldfield and Eddie Rickenbacker entertained tens of thousands; while on the other end, health care professionals at Western State Hospital sought answers to mental illness. Lakewood still boasts the first golf club in the West--the Tacoma Country and Golf Club--and the internationally known Lakewold Gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738530451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.56w x 0.36d","brand":"Steve Dunkelberger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51280850747573,"sku":"9780738530451","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9597e1e7-5d96-4653-b4c0-b7d0f402d512.jpg?v=1751469400","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lakewood-9780738530451","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
