Kentucky's Covered Bridges by Robert W. M. Laughlin,Melissa C. Jurgensen Pdf

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.

Through Their Eyes: Covered Bridges of Fleming County, Kentucky by Melissa C. Jurgensen Pdf

Covered bridges are works of art that have stood the test of time and are a testament to their builders. These silent witnesses to history house precious memories of yesterday, protecting them as the roof and siding do the bridge's aging timbers. This is a collection of photographs of nine of Fleming County's covered bridges, three of which still stand today. Interspersed with the photos and historical facts are personal recollections of the bridges by Fleming Countians. The Through Their Eyes series celebrates the photographers of yesteryear who captured these structures in images to preserve them for all time.

Through Their Eyes: Covered Bridges of Harrison County, Kentucky by Melissa C. Jurgensen Pdf

Nestled in the hills of central Kentucky, the countryside of Harrison County was once dotted with covered bridges. Sadly, none of these bridges remain today. The photo collection contained in the pages of this book offers a glimpse into the life span of four of these bridges including Cynthiana's bridge which was a centerpiece in a Civil War battle, to Claysville's bridge that once towered above the Licking River until its fiery end in 1953. The "Through Their Eyes" series celebrates the photographers of yesteryear who captured these structures in their photographs to preserve them for all time. DueBelliAutriciBooks.com

Roadside History by Melba Porter Hay,Dianne Wells,Thomas H. Appleton, Jr.,Thomas H. Appleton Pdf

Published by the Kentucky Historical Society and distributed by the University Press of Kentucky We have all spied them as we blast down I-75 scanning the roadside for anything of interest or rolled past one while trying to find an elusive gas station in an unfamiliar small town. Perhaps we have even stopped to read one outside the local courthouse. Since 1949, the Kentucky Historical Highway Marker program has erected more than 1,800 markers that highlight the rich diversity of the state's local and regional history as well as topics of statewide, and sometimes national, importance. They provide on-the-spot Kentucky history lessons, depicting subjects as diverse as a seven-year-old boy who served as a drummer in the Revolutionary War to a centuries-old sassafras tree. Roadside History is a key to the markers, enabling travelers to read Kentucky history without stopping to see each marker as they pass. There are two indexes arranged by subject and county.

Covered Bridges in the Southeastern United States by Warren H. White Pdf

Covered bridges are gaining public attention as states and counties make investments in their repair and preservation, offer tours of them, and build new ones. This work documents all extant covered bridges in the southeastern United States: Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia. (Mississippi has none.) The book is arranged by state, then by county and bridge name. The bridges are in four categories: authentic historic, authentic modern, non-authentic historic, and non-authentic modern. For each, a history and description, the World Guide Covered Bridge identification number, and length and width dimensions are given. To be included, a bridge must have been originally built as a true covered bridge, used as a means of traveling over an obstacle, usually water, not for access to a building or between buildings, and have a covered portion at least ten feet in length. There are 65 black & white and 55 color photographs.
