{"product_id":"2940014432924","title":"History of the Chisum War or Life of Ike Fridge (Illustrated Edition)","description":"This book is the telling of the \"Chisum [sic] War\" by Ike Fridge to author Jodie D. Smith. Fridge worked as a cowpuncher for John Chisum during this \"War.\" The events relayed in the book seem borne out by another book written about this period in history -- \"The Lincoln County War.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book has all the elements of a good western -- fights between American Indians and cowboys, and Mexican and American cowboys, stolen cattle and cattle drives. It includes a version of Billie [sic] the Kid's death, which Fridge may have witnessed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a short book. Although it has 27 chapters, a printed version would be about 82 pages. It is, nonetheless, worth reading as it provides a first-person account of an important point in history of the U.S.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of the book contains the 10 original illustrations, rejuvenated. Except for the frontpiece, a full-page photograph of Ike Fridge, and the endpiece, an image of a cowboy riding a bucking broncho, the rest are small end-of-chapter illustrations which are more like present clip-art than paintings. In addition, this edition contains 10 additional place-, time-, and subject-relevant iconic illustrations of cattle drives and cowboys that are unique to this edition of the book.","brand":"Electra, TX: Smith, 1900","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070602821872,"sku":"2940014432924","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014432924_p0.jpg?v=1763608733","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014432924","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
