{"product_id":"9781596295865","title":"Forgotten Tales of Rhode Island","description":"\u003cbr\u003eFew Rhode Islanders remember the day a German submarine suddenly surfaced in Newport Harbor, or the escape of a bear, tiger and panther from a circus train on the Stonington Railroad. Still fewer may have heard about the World War II fighter plane that crash-landed in the middle of a secret listening post for intercepting enemy radio signals, tucked away on a farm in Scituate. Forgotten Tales digs deep into Rhode Island's history and unearths little-known stories and folklore that span three centuries. Read about the undertaker who dug his own grave, midnight gold diggers using magical diagrams, Smithfield's 'suicide bridge' and a pet elephant with a unique Achilles heel. Jim Ignasher delivers a strong dose of local color in this fascinating anecdotal history of the Ocean State.","brand":"History Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035605811440,"sku":"9781596295865","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781596295865_p0.jpg?v=1763808485","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781596295865","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
