{"product_id":"lawrence-in-the-gilded-age-9780738535104","title":"Lawrence in the Gilded Age","description":"The Gilded Age, c. 1870-1898, was a time of promise and expanding horizons for the people of Lawrence, known as \"the Queen City on the Merrimack.\" Passenger trains, horse-drawn trolleys, and electric streetcars dominated transportation, one-third of the population worked in manufacturing, and thirteen newspapers brought the latest information to the city's burgeoning population of nearly sixty thousand people. Through unique images from the special collections of the Lawrence Public Library, rich commentary, and a virtual walking tour, Lawrence in the Gilded Age relives the last three decades of the nineteenth century in Lawrence, which had managed to avoid the labor strikes and political and social unrest that plagued the city in the early twentieth century.\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 03\/17\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738535104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.60w x 0.41d","brand":"Louise Brady Sandberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40648891400373,"sku":"9780738535104","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a5698822-a326-441c-bd7f-5f2db1649d9f.jpg?v=1627962506","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lawrence-in-the-gilded-age-9780738535104","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
