Book Synopsis New Jersey's Covered Bridges by : Richard J. Garlipp Jr.
Download or read book New Jersey's Covered Bridges written by Richard J. Garlipp Jr. and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 18th and 19th centuries, covered bridges dotted the landscape of New Jersey, providing safe passage to travelers. Forty-five covered bridges once crossed waterways in all corners of the state. Perhaps the most extraordinary examples of these wooden bridges were found along the western border, crossing the Delaware River into neighboring Pennsylvania. These bridges were feats of construction and engineering but were ultimately unable to prevent the inevitable fate of almost all the covered bridges of the state, namely ice, floods, and fire as well as the development of new materials and technology. Today, only one covered bridge survives in New Jersey. The Green Sergeants covered bridge in Hunterdon County was constructed over the Wickecheoke Creek in 1872 and has stood the test of time. New Jerseys Covered Bridges showcases the rich transportation history of these structures and pictorially honors the lost ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites the reader to step back in time and imagine the days when ancestors traveled through wooden spans to reach their daily destinations. Starting in the early 1800s, Pennsylvania's rich forests provided natural material for the construction of more than 1,500 covered bridges across the state. The first covered bridge was built in 1805. Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges looks at the earliest covered bridges as well as those that have survived modern progress. Images also show rare railroad covered bridges that have been saved from destruction over the years.

You will learn about the role that the river played in human history, including Washington’s four crossings of the Delaware during the Revolutionary War.
