{"product_id":"9781468574739","title":"Blue Springs","description":"At an early age, I recall hearing many stories told by my elders about the tiny town of Blue Springs and the remarkable people who lived in and around it. I used many of these tales as bedtime stories for my children and grandchildren. Many people urged me to record these stories in writing.  Additionally I noticed at an early age  how highly esteemed and respected my father was in the community because of his total dedication to his medical practice and how he conducted it.  I have also wanted to leave some sort of written tribute for my children and grandchildren about what remarkable people their ancestors were, especially my parents and grandparents.  Finally, for a small boy, the tiny little town of Blue Springs was a natural paradise in which to grow up. Springs, swamps, a river, fields and forests abounded. I wanted to tell my children and grandchildren what it was like.  I also want them to know, appreciate, and attempt to add to their genealogy.  These are the reasons for this book.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130129039600,"sku":"9781468574739","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468574739_p0.jpg?v=1763695889","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468574739","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
