Reference books on covered bridges have been produced from the 1930s (when only a few people were interested) through today. A growing segment of the population has an interest in covered bridges now, due in part to the efforts of many previous authors, though most of the previous literature has been more oriented toward either the scenic value of the bridges or in providing images with a brief history or the locality details to encourage tourism of the bridges. Terry and Ron have achieved something rarely accomplished in this area by elevating the discussion on covered bridges to include much more information on truss types, terminology, evolution of design, and recognition of the relationship of covered bridges to their uncovered wood cousins.Despite the added focus on history of these bridges, there is also an abundance of high quality images provided. The new photography in the book is stunning. These images are blended with a large amount of historical imagery, something on the order of 550 historic photos, drawings, and etchings are included.This book is a delight to an advanced "bridger" and would also be an excellent way for almost anyone interested in covered bridges to elevate their level of understanding of this American icon.
This is a beautiful book, well-written with great photography. It is a book to return to, time after time to look at pictures and to learn from the practical and historical writing about covered bridges. The eye-catching photos will make this an ideal coffee-table book, but the wealth of information will sustain your interest for years.The authors have organized their book into "broadly conceived perspectives of the covered bridge as utilitarian objects, indicators of technological ingenuity and progress, obsolete nuisances, and nostalgic icons and symbols of the past." The book lives up to this daunting challenge and does so with engaging language, striking a balance between "erudite academic" and "down home." For me, the pictures and descriptions reveal a love of the subject matter. I was particularly taken with the speculative theories about how the bridges were constructed. People have wondered for centuries about how the pyramids were constructed and how Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. In an investigative spirit the authors present alternative ideas on how covered bridges could have been constructed long distances over rivers. The deductive reasoning from known facts and evidence to a reasonable theory guides the reader to a conclusion, with just the right amount of "ah ha" combined with skeptical insight.This book holds fascination for all types of readers. Casual readers may just want to browse the pictures while industrious readers will find descriptions and contemporary issues to ponder. In particular, chapter Five: Finding a Place for Covered Bridges in the Twenty-First Century grapples with combining nostalgia and historic preservation with the need for safety and practical use in a time of bigger and heavier vehicles.This is a book to be enjoyed and from which readers will learn.
Very detailed history book of America's past of Covered Bridges. Well written and plenty of photos, and shows in detail the plans and building a new bridge.
American Covered Bridges… has the hallmarks of an instant classic, certainly for the connoisseur, but perhaps even moreso for those who have not given too much thought or notice to the subject. Be assured that few will emerge from their encounter with this thoroughly engrossing book without having formed a friendship with covered bridges that could well lead to further exploration.Co-authors Terry Miller and Ronald Knapp present a treasury of information via their absolutely engaging, fluent style, amply supported by the exquisite photography of A. Chester Ong, along with a wealth of diagrams and historic prints, the whole organized with the clarity of a well-marked highway.Cost-wise, the relatively modest price-tag of a publication that could easily command an exponentially higher amount is truly amazing.
I listened intently to stories my Mother told about growing up close to White's Bridge in Keene Township, Ionia County, Michigan. Her older brothers made a Bobsled that carried them down the steep hill onto the White's Bridge in winter. Her Aunt ,an artist, made beautiful chalk drawings of both winter and summer White's Bridge scenes. I was excited to read "America's Covered Bridges" where Terry Miller not only tells about the location of these bridges but also details about when they were built, by whom, and their construction details. I've been collecting books about covered bridges for many years, but I have never seen any that compare to the quality of _America's Covered Bridges: Practical Crossings -Nostalgic Icons_ White's Bridge, Fallasburg Bridge,and Ada Bridge in Kent County, Michigan are all part of my precious childhood memories, and through this book I have learned about so many more. This book is priceless!
