{"product_id":"marrying-tree-stories-book-g-russell-peterman-9780595294480","title":"Marrying Tree Stories","description":"Looking back at the West in Movies, television, and books a man and woman either kiss or ride off together at the end. In truth, more men moved West of the Mississippi during the 1800's than women. After a man managed to get a ranch, farm, mine, or business started he wanted a family -- a wife and children. For those that could not afford the time or money to go back East courting that was a problem. The shortage of women and the distances in the West required courting adjustments, just as raw living conditions of the frontier forced on people changes in making a living. This book of two dozen short stories deals with the fictional creation of Western familes from 1860-1900.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51250324635921,"sku":"NIN9780595294480","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135406534929,"sku":"NLS9780595294480","price":12.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0595294480.jpg?v=1751326489","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/marrying-tree-stories-book-g-russell-peterman-9780595294480","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
