The Covered Bridge Is One Of The Last Surviving Icons Of Rural America. Originally Designed With Rooflike Covers To Protect The Wooden Support Beams From The Elements, The Covered Bridge Dominated Bridge Design For Fifty Years, Until The Bessemer Process Introduced The Cheap Steel Which Then Became The Material Of Preference. Yet These Bridges Over The Years Have Been Treasured For Their Rustic Charm, Romantic Atmosphere (They Are Nicknamed 'Kissing Bridges'), Curious Engineering, And Historical Value. Now, Historic American Covered Bridges Presents A Superb Photographic Record Of 138 Historic Covered Bridges Found In The United States And Canada.Compiled By Brian J. Mckee, A Leading Authority On Covered Bridges, The Book Features A Full Color Photography Of Each Bridge, Detailed Truss Diagrams, Basic Construction Details, And Information About The Locale, Including Where To Find The Bridge.
