{"product_id":"9781596299245","title":"Milford: A Brief History","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePurchased for six coats, twelve iron axes, ten blankets, twelve hatchets, twelve hoes, two dozen knives, six mirrors and a kettle, the town of Milford has blossomed into one of Connecticut's most treasured places. Local journalist and historian Frank Juliano takes us through the incredible stories of his town, including a series of vignettes about famous Milford residents such as Simon Lake, whose technology led to the development of the modern submarine. From the American Revolution, when seventy-three men from Milford marched to Boston to fight in the famous Battle of Lexington and Concord, to the backyard pit of a local farmhouse that was surely a stop on the Underground Railroad, Milford has its roots firmly grounded in the bedrock of American history.","brand":"History Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050712744176,"sku":"9781596299245","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781596299245_p0.jpg?v=1763808567","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781596299245","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
