{"product_id":"9781609492564","title":"The Dubuque Shot Tower","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe George W. Rogers \u0026amp; Co. ShotTower claims the distinction of being Dubuque's most recognizable and enduring landmark. And while it only operated intermittently from 1856 to 1862, the Shot Tower continues to serve as a reminder of America's vibrant entrepreneurial spirit of the mid-1800s. To preserve this local legacy and position it in the larger narrative of our nation's past, students from Central Alternative High School in Dubuque invested a year of research in 2005-6 to tell the story. Their findings, combined with essays contributed by community experts, have been edited by John Adelmann into a first-of-its-kind book that presents a fascinating saga of the Shot Tower that has become greater than the sum of its myths and legends.","brand":"History Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48232391934192,"sku":"9781609492564","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609492564_p0.jpg?v=1763836837","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609492564","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
