Beschreibung

Small Quarto. 135pp. with a foreword by Charles S. Whitney, illustrated with photographic images throughout. Timber bridges were built on a scale never attempted in any other country, some of them over a mile in length. The earlier bridges in America were of the type popular in Switzerland in the eighteenth century. Bridges played a huge part in the early development of the American continent. The abundance of timber and the ingenuity of the American bridge builder, the construction of bridges across the many rivers would have been impossible when bridges were so much needed to carry the highways and railways into parts of undeveloped parts of the country. These bridges were sturdy structures and have and have stood the test of time. Bound in maroon cloth, spine lettered in gilt. A very good copy in pictorial dust jacket with some chipping along the upper edges and spine ends. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 022902
