{"product_id":"9780999742402","title":"A Tale Of The Ozarks: Ralph And Velma Clark Posten: Some Of Their Kin And Their Times","description":"A Tale of the Ozarks features stories from the author's own ancestral pool. They include a young man kidnapped by the Shawnee; a poor farm boy becomes co-founder of Standard Oil. A home is later an historic site. Featured is the story of a soldier previous to, during and following the Civil war as he emigrates to the Ozarks, homesteads, and raises a large family. Life in the rural Missouri Ozarks is depicted as it follows a couple from youth to marriage, their struggles to make a living and lay claim to the American Dream. By referring to diaries, documents, memories of family members, personal correspondence ( including during the Civil War) and depicting local Ozark history, its values and customs, the book brings its character alive and personal, while also using them as representative of a way of life for many rural Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eDonald E Posten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eBluff House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJan 31, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e180 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e099974240X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780999742402\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bluff House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50320856383793,"sku":"9780999742402","price":12.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780999742402__17353.jpg?v=1731994601","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780999742402","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
