{"product_id":"9781626191617","title":"Historic Tales from Park County: Parked in the Past","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe geographic center of Colorado, Park County has long served as a recreational area for Denver and Colorado Springs residents looking to get away. The scene has not always been so idyllic. Marshal Cook was shot while investigating a loud party in Como in 1894, and rumors spread by the Michigan Creek School Board sent Benjamin Ratcliff on a killing spree in 1895. But the county's hardscrabble heritage includes triumphs as well as tragedies. In 1873, county seat Fairplay lost every business on Front Street to a horrific fire. But by 1878, they had rebuilt it all. It still stands today, a true testament to the strength of this old mining town. Journalist Laura Van Dusen shares these stories, outlining the many trials and successes of Park County's earliest settlers.","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031899848944,"sku":"9781626191617","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626191617_p0.jpg?v=1769905062","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626191617","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
