{"id":3,"name":"Nichol Allen","url":"","description":"I was born and raised in Truckee, California, a very small town in northern California that has a very interesting history. When I turned 20 years old I enlisted in the United States Marines Corps. My four years as a Marine afforded me experiences and opportunities that I would not have had. From my travels I was able to find new and exciting history everywhere I went. I planted my feet in Illinois in 2008 and have dedicated my time to uncovering the history of the place I now call home.","link":"https:\/\/madison-historical.siue.edu\/encyclopedia\/author\/niallen\/","slug":"niallen","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fae7f95a3eca27f8620afca0589fcd4d?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fae7f95a3eca27f8620afca0589fcd4d?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/fae7f95a3eca27f8620afca0589fcd4d?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/madison-historical.siue.edu\/encyclopedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/madison-historical.siue.edu\/encyclopedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
