Bridges; Travel & holiday guides

Both a history and a guide, this book offers scenic tours to all 106 of Vermont's covered bridges and tells the rich stories behind them. For many people, covered bridges are much more than picturesque: They represent a living link with an alluring part of our past. Along with a sense of romance, we associate them with an era of hard work, creativity, and ingenuity. Each bridge sparks a new question: Why was it built, how, when, and by whom? How has it lasted when so many others have disappeared? This guide will answer these and many other questions about all 106 of Vermont's authentic, historic covered bridges. Arranged by convenient driving tours, it provides precise directions to help travelers find each bridge--touring through the most scenic countryside along the way--and shares each bridge's history and folklore. Advice on photographing the bridges, parking, and finding nearby historical sites and museums is also included in each tour. An introduction tells the colorful story of ""the great truss race"" in the early days of bridge architecture and design. Detailed scenic driving tours make this book useful to anyone exploring the back roads of Vermont. Superb maps mark the location of all 106 covered bridges. 60 black-and-white photographs.

Reviews for Covered Bridges of Vermont

This work underscores the fact that faculty unionization is not a simple reaction against working conditions, but reflects deep commitment to working in the academic world as a shared, intellectual pursuit and not as an enterprising capital venture for administrators and senior faculty members. Academic labor is a reality, not a neologism created by frustrated trade unionists, and that reality begs for definition by all members of the professoriate. -Philo Hutcheson, author of A Professional Professoriate: Unionization, Bureaucratization, and the AAUP, Associate Professor of Educational Policy Studies, Georgia State University
