Arcadia Publishing, 2008

Rugged individuals armed with hand tools, sweat, and ambition began building covered bridges in Oregon during the mid-1850s. These bridge builders often camped out at remote sites, living off the land or contracting with local farmers for food. Early owners of covered bridges financed construction by charging tolls?3¢ for a sheep, 5¢ for a horse and rider, and 10¢ for a team of horses and wagon. In the early 20th century, the state provided ...

Quaker Hills Press Incorporated, 2006

Great topic and well-researched; poorly written
This is a great book for civil war buffs and historians looking for that next level of detail that isn't covered in the mainstream books, but be forewarned that this is a low-budget effort and the author didn't seem to have anyone proofread it; many typos, incorrect grammatics and writing errors are prevalent. This is unfortunate because the topic is terrific, the content and research are ...

The Wooster Book Company, 2007

In a class by itself
There seems to be no shortage of books about covered bridges these days. This one distinguishes itself by the quality of the descriptions of the bridges and Bill Miller's outstanding photography. It is in a class by itself! Judged by the photography alone it would appear to be at home on the "coffee table". However, to classify it as such would do the book a disservice. The quality of the text ...

Bridges to Another Era - Wonderful!
I was recently gifted with Kentucky's Covered Bridges by a friend who knew my late mother, and the Switzer Bridge enthusiast that she was. I was absolutely delighted with the details of Kentucky's history, architecture, and biographies that one would never expect in such a handy little collection. Including antebellum events and beyond, and even for non-Kentuckians, this is an enjoyable and ...

Once there were hundreds of 19th-century and very early 20th-century covered bridges in Indiana?so many in fact, that the state ranked third in the nation in the number of structures still standing. By the early 1930s and 1940s, a movement was afoot to preserve those magnificent structures that had not already disappeared due to desertion and deterioration. Some were saved, but many were not. What was saved and cherished, however, was an ...

Covering all the bridges
This book has been like a bible to me as I set out to photograph covered bridges in New Hampshire and Vermont. I've used the book in conjunction with my laptop based GPS system to plan my trips and prioritize which bridges to look at. The book is very clearly written, gives interesting historical and structural information, and most importantly, directions for finding the bridges. The ...
