{"product_id":"wicked-hartford-9781467137348","title":"Wicked Hartford","description":"One of the oldest cities in America, Hartford holds plenty of sinful stories. Famed inventor and industrialist Samuel Colt sold arms to both the North and South in the buildup to the Civil War. The notorious Seyms Street jail was the subject of national criticism and scandal for its deplorable conditions. Local journalist Daniel Birdsall fought to expose corruption in the powerful insurance industry and local government at the expense of his own printing presses. Tension between unions and \"robber barons\" such as Jay Gould spilled into the streets during the Gilded Age. Author Steve Thornton takes readers on an exciting journey through the seedy underbelly of Hartford's past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467137348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Steve Thornton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38211212935349,"sku":"9781467137348","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0131c437-e5dc-4158-9903-69d6fa0a91e8.jpg?v=1610429061","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wicked-hartford-9781467137348","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
