Description:The building of the very first covered bridge in America... the engineering career of Citizen Tom Paine... the part they played in the Civil War... the amazing achievements of our great bridge engineers more than a century ago - these are a few of the highlights of Richard Sanders Allen's new "this is it" covered bridge book for the area of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. With individual maps and informative listings of the existing spans in each state, the book is of course the indispensable "guide" to structures past and present, compiled by America's outstanding authority for his fellow covered bridge hobbyists and enthusiasts. But it is also an unrivaled volume of Americana stemming from and concerned with these beloved landmarks of America's past. You will enjoy it as a fine, full book of a thousand fascinations and well-told fabled incidents of the westward trek... ghost stories and love stories... railroad covered bridges... Civil War battles to capture or hold the vital river crossings... engineering genius and ingenuity... wartime bridge sabotage... present-day efforts to preserve the bridges... and much, much more, from sources hitherto untapped. Rare photographs, old prints, cartoons, sketches - all from the author's vast covered bridge collection, and many published here for the first time in a book - add enthralling visual interest to the story.
