Download or read book Kentucky s Covered Bridges written by Robert W. M. Laughlin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky is well recognized for bourbon, bluegrass, and the Kentucky Derby. When thinking of covered bridges, the commonwealth is not the state that readily comes to mind. Many of Kentucky's covered bridges were built by such men as Wernwag, Bower, Carothers, Day, Stone, and Long, but many of the names were never recorded or have been lost to time. Kentucky once was home to the longest single-span wooden bridge in the world and to a covered bridge through which a Civil War battle was fought. Time, arson, progress, neglect, and misguided maintenance have spelled the demise of the majority of these structures. Readers of this volume might be surprised to learn that Kentucky once claimed more than 700 timbered tunnels and that over 50 of these survived well into the 1950s. Equally surprising, the commonwealth is still home to 13 of these structures.

Download or read book Through Their Eyes Covered Bridges of Bourbon County Kentucky written by Melissa C. Jurgensen and published by . This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The winding roads that snake their way through the rolling hills of Bourbon County were once dotted with twenty seven covered bridges, one of the highest concentrations in the state. From the massive two-lane Wernwag structure found at the Paris city limits to the smallest bridge which crossed Pretty Run on the Clintonville-North Middletown Road each bridge had their own unique characteristics and place in history. Out of the twenty seven bridges only one remains today, still carrying traffic on Colville Road as it has since 1877. This book is a photographic journey through the "lives" of fourteen of these bridges, interwoven with oral histories of Bourbon Countians who remember these bridges from yesterday. The Through Their Eyes series celebrates the photographers of yesteryear who captured these structures in images to preserve them for all time.
