Readers’ Comments

While there have been many books written about New Hampshire’s covered bridges over the years, this one is by far the most comprehensive. Kim has thoroughly researched each bridge and provided documentation to support, and sometimes correct, the stories found in other books and periodicals.

I have provided engineering services for many historic covered bridges in New Hampshire. Kim’s extensive research and passion for covered bridges is evident in her writing and has provided me with a much greater insight into the history of New Hampshire’s covered bridges.

Kim has thoroughly investigated the building and work on covered bridges as well as many other important facts about these historic structures that seem to be getting lost in the fast society of today. She has also chronicled personal information and stories pertaining to the folklore surrounding the centuries of authentic covered bridge building. I am keenly anticipating the reading of the book.

—Arnold M. Graton, Master Covered Bridgewright

A must book for covered bridge enthusiasts and historians. No other book on covered bridges goes into such historical detail.

—Robert H. Durfee, P.E., Bridge Engineer/Covered Bridges

This book will be a must-have reference guide and historical resource for everyone who appreciates covered bridges.
