A full color "Virtual Encyclopedia" of America's Covered Bridges!In viewing proud old structures such as covered bridges, one feels that they are reliving a lot of the past history of our great country. The author photographed his first covered bridge in 1991, simply by chance while traveling inland from the Oregon coast to Crater Lake National Park. Later, a friend's contagious interest in the structures spread to Mr. Parrott, creating the author's own intense desire to photograph these grand old symbols of times past. At last count, the author has personally visited and photographed more than 800 covered bridges in 30 states!Covered bridges represent a most important time in the growth and development of the America we love, enjoy and often just seem to take for granted. Join the author (retired after 22 years in the Navy and nearly 20 years in the U.S. Postal Service) in his travels as he searches to find "Still yet one more bridge"; photographing those bridges which still appear to be so very proud and stately, serving their community needs on a daily basis and the others which are downtrodden and abused with neglect, deterioration and graffiti.The "Chasing Covered Bridges" Book, which will list the location of each bridge (state, county, etc.), contains more than 260 featured photos in full color with up to 540 more (total of 800) of these beautiful old structures, listed-each one of which has its own personality and attraction. This is a limited edition book. ... Read more

Part David Macaulay's The Way Things Work and part Johnny Appleseed, a captivating true story about a dream that came true

Roxie Munro and her husband, Bo Zaunders, have created an enthralling illustrated biography set in 1800s Virginia-a wonderful book for budding architects and engineers, as well as bridge and history aficionados. Lemuel Chenoweth is a shy western Virginia furniture maker with only a third-grade education and a vision when he heads to Richmond, Virginia, to enter a bridge-designing contest. Lemuel stuns the judges and the highfalutin' competition by assembling an extraordinary bridge model-one that can support his own weight-and he wins. Built entirely without nails, his bridge became one of the most famous in the country and was the site of the first land battle of the Civil War. The Great Bridge-Building Contest tells the dramatic story of its remarkable existence.AUTHOR BIO: Roxie Munro and Bo Zaunders have created numerous award-winning books for children on inventors, adventurers, early aviators, and great buildings. Ms. Munro's Inside-Outside series has sold more than 130,000 copies. Roxie has illustrated numerous covers for The New Yorker and has an avid following among collectors. ... Read more
