Morley, S. Griswold. The Covered Bridges of California. First Edition. 1939. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition. Jacket shows light fraying.
Though not quite as improbable as a book titled, “The Palm Trees of Vermont,” covered bridges do not come immediately to mind one when thinks of California. This elegant Depression era volume explains that due to the lack of steel and abundance of timber, it was quite logical. The author describes and presents b & w images of thirty-five examples. Most are located in redwood country and the High Sierra, but one, now destroyed, was in downtown Los Angeles.
