DOWNLOAD EBOOKRugged individuals armed with hand tools, sweat, and ambition began building covered bridges in Oregon during the mid-1850s. These bridge builders often camped out at remote sites, living off the land or contracting with local farmers for food. Early owners of covered bridges financed construction by charging tolls--3cents for a sheep, 5cents for a horse and rider, and 10cents for a team of horses and wagon. In the early 20th century, the state provided standard bridge and truss designs to each county, and most of the resulting structures incorporated the Howe truss.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCovered Bridges are historic pieces of American and Canadian rural history, gracing the countryside from Oregon to Tennessee and from California to New Brunswick and across Canada. In this lavishly illustrated volume Joseph D. Conwill recounts the rich, romantic history of covered bridges as they developed from early timber bridges, born out of the traditions of Medieval times, into modernized structures designed for the motorized traffic of the early twentieth century. Reflecting on the efforts to keep covered bridges in service as the face of the rural landscape is transformed, and the challenge of preserving their historic character while making them safe for modern traffic, Conwill guides the reader across the diverse range of covered bridges to be found throughout the North America.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOregon Covered Bridges is one such project. For my wife and I we just took day trips and visited covered bridges in our area, soon it grew and became a journey. It started in October 2004 visiting the coverered bridgs of Cottage Grove and ended with a visit to Cedar Crossing in February2007. The project turn to this book, a quick view of the bridges, the history, facts of covered bridges. Many people leave their state to take a vacation, never really seeing where they live, this book is a reminder that we here in Oregon have a lot and should be seen. It is also a chance to bring visitors to our state, to see these covered bridges. There on the backroads and these roads really show off Oregon. It is a "Coffee Table" book, pick up and enjoy the pictures, the reading is light. Need to "Stop and Smell the Roses", take a break from this fast pace life, this is what this book was meant to do.
