Bloom"I'm always on the lookout for a good read. Indiana Covered Bridges provides exactly that." The Paper of Montgomery County
A symbol of Indiana's past, the covered bridge still evokes feelings of nostalgia, romance, and even mystery. Plagued by floods, fire, storms, neglect, and arson, today fewer than 100 remain. With 105 color photographs, Indiana's Covered Bridges will appeal to everyone who treasures Indiana's rich architectural heritage.. During the 19th century, over 500 of these handsome structures spanned the streams, rivers, and ravines of Indiana. Marsha Williamson Mohr's photographs capture the timeless and simple beauty of these well-traveled structures from around the state, including Parke Countythe unofficial covered bridge capital of the world
Marsha Williamson Mohr, a freelance photographer, is author of Indiana Barns (IUP, 2010).
Good Book Covers most but not all of Indiana bridges.Is a list by county so you can tell what is covered and what is not. Pictures throughout the seasons.. "Bought as birthday gift for friend who grew up in Indiana and loved its bridges" according to frankiedee. My friend loved this book! The pictures were very sharp and the selection of bridges throughout state were stunning. He told me he will treasure book for years to come.. "interesting" according to Raymond Finkelstein. The book gives a great look at the Covered Bridges in Indiana. Would reccommed to all those interested in Covered Bridges to add to thyeir library.
