Today, those bridges have themselves become travel destinations, as quintessential images of the American countryside, and as treasured artifacts of a simpler time. Built to serve local needs and to withstand the elements, each covered bridge has its own unique character. Gentle yet commanding presences in the American landscape, covered bridges are national treasures that continue to fascinate us. With spirited prose and 94 full-color photographs this volume celebrates the romance and lore of these rural landmarks.

Download or read book America's Covered Bridges written by Terry E. Miller and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As many as 15,000 covered bridges were built in North America over the past 200 years. Fewer than 1,000 remain. In America's Covered Bridges, authors Terry E. Miller and Ronald G. Knapp tell the fascinating story of these bridges, how they were built, the technological breakthroughs required to construct them and above all the dedication and skill of their builders. Each wooden bridge, whether still standing or long gone, has a story to tell about the nature of America at the time--not only about its transportational needs, but the availability of materials and the technological prowess of the people who built it. Illustrated with some 550 historical and contemporary photos, paintings, and technical drawings of nearly 400 different covered bridges, America's Covered Bridges offers five readable chapters on the history, design and fate of America's covered bridges, plus related bridges in Canada. Most of the contemporary photography is by master photographer A. Chester Ong of Hong Kong. 55 photo essays on the most iconic bridges including: Cornish-Windsor Bridge between Vermont and New Hampshire Porter-Parsonsfield Bridge, Maine East Paden and West Paden (Twin Bridges), Pennsylvania Philippi Bridge, West Virginia Hortons Mill Bridge, Alabama Medora Bridge, Indiana Rock Mill Bridge, Ohio Knight's Ferry Bridge, California Perrault Bridge, Quebec, Canada Hartland Bridge, New Brunswick, Canada Over time, wooden bridges eventually gave way to ones made of iron, steel and concrete. An American icon, many covered bridges became obsolete and were replaced—others simply decayed and collapsed. Many more were swept away by natural disasters and fires. America's Covered Bridges is absolutely packed with fascinating stories and information passionately told by two leading experts on this subject. The book will be of tremendous interest to anyone interested in American history, carpentry and technological change.

Download or read book Covered Bridges written by Joseph D Conwill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-10 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covered Bridges are historic pieces of American and Canadian rural history, gracing the countryside from Oregon to Tennessee and from California to New Brunswick and across Canada. In this lavishly illustrated volume Joseph D. Conwill recounts the rich, romantic history of covered bridges as they developed from early timber bridges, born out of the traditions of Medieval times, into modernized structures designed for the motorized traffic of the early twentieth century. Reflecting on the efforts to keep covered bridges in service as the face of the rural landscape is transformed, and the challenge of preserving their historic character while making them safe for modern traffic, Conwill guides the reader across the diverse range of covered bridges to be found throughout the North America.

Book excerpt: "Wooden Treasures" is the first complete history of one of Bucks County's enduring icons: the covered bridge.At one time, Bucks County had 51 covered bridges. Today, only 12 such bridges remain available to the public, and they have a special place regionally as "cultural treasures." That heritage goes back to Theodore Burr's landmark 1806 covered bridge at Morrisville to the 39 local covered bridges that connected towns by 1875.However, most were gone by 1940, as progress led to their demolition. It fell to a small group of people to save the remaining bridges in the late 1950s, for future generations to enjoy.
