{"product_id":"9781609499907","title":"Hidden History of Cumberland County","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe rolling fields and quiet towns of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, belie its dynamic history. From slaves who escaped to freedom through Underground Railroad stations in Shippensburg and Boiling Springs to a telephone-like invention created by Lower Allen's Daniel Drawbaugh a full decade before the patent of Alexander Graham Bell, the pages of Cumberland County's history conceal long-forgotten but true tales. There are numerous but often-overlooked contributions from county residents--from 1920 to 1923, Newville hosted the first state police academy in the nation, and during World War II, a humble bandage invented in Carlisle saved countless lives. With an engaging collection of vignettes, author Joseph David Cress explores these and other hidden tales from the history of Cumberland County.","brand":"History Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061126611184,"sku":"9781609499907","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609499907_p0.jpg?v=1763842245","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609499907","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
