Through Their Eyes: Covered Bridges of Harrison County, Kentucky - Paperback

by Melissa C. Jurgensen (Author)

Nestled in the hills of central Kentucky, the countryside of Harrison County was once dotted with covered bridges. Sadly, none of these bridges remain today. The photo collection contained in the pages of this book offers a glimpse into the life span of four of these bridges including Cynthiana's bridge which was a centerpiece in a Civil War battle, to Claysville's bridge that once towered above the Licking River until its fiery end in 1953.The "Through Their Eyes" series celebrates the photographers of yesteryear who captured these structures in their photographs to preserve them for all time.
