{"product_id":"bellefonte-9781467108669","title":"Bellefonte","description":"Nestled in the Nittany Valley, 2.5 miles from the geographic center of Pennsylvania, the quaint community of Bellefonte was founded in 1795 by Revolutionary War veteran James Dunlop and his son-in-law James Harris. During the 19th century, Bellefonte quickly grew in industrial and political prominence owing to its central location within Pennsylvania's iron-making region. Bellefonte's rarified status was evidenced by the fact that despite having a populace of less than 5,000 inhabitants prior to 1940, five Pennsylvania governors, together with future governors of California and Kansas, claimed Bellefonte as their birthplace and\/or long-term residence. Likewise, Bellefonte's picturesque Victorian architecture reflected its economic prosperity and distinguished residents, with 11 Bellefonte properties currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Despite Bellefonte's rich history and Victorian splendor, the town gradually faded into the shadows following the founding of the nearby Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania (now Pennsylvania State University) in 1855.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11911567\"\u003eMarsha Ann Tate\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14790943\"\u003eEarl Houser\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.49w x 0.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467108669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467108669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036080\"\u003eUnited States | State \u0026amp; Local | Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD,\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036060\"\u003eUnited States | 20th Century\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Arcadia Publishing (SC)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44543088132333,"sku":"9781467108669","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_0726e755-4a84-48da-ab86-5e84a1f42038.jpg?v=1701537145","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/bellefonte-9781467108669","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
