When its first covered bridge was constructed on the Ashtabula-Trumbull Turnpike in 1832; Ashtabula County was closer to frontier than a "new Connecticut." Its rutted roads promised adventure and suggested prosperity but also great hardship. Covered bridges; made mostly of local timber; would eventually soften the brutality of travel; isolation and a well-watered landscape. Their proliferation and preservation gave Ashtabula County the nickname "Covered Bridge Capital of the Western Reserve." Admire both famous and forgotten crossings with Carl E. Feather; who has spent over a quarter century mired in muddy creek beds; camera in hand; waiting for the perfect light."

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Lots of Theories; and a Few Facts!By Angel ExrockchickI like the detail given in the book; and the photos of many of the bands and artists. There were a few factual errors; but over all a good theme and many of these legends and stories of the curses; who knows? May well be true; I just dont think it is a smart idea to fall into believing that all Occultism is evil; or devil worship. There are many artists who used the dark mysterious goth back drop stage personas to sell their records. Many such ss Jimmy Page were serious about their Magickal pursuits; and this will not ever be fully understood.There was a few misleading statements about Bobby Fuller. He wasnt living with his Mother; she was out visiting from El Paso; and it was her car that Bobby used to meet the mystery caller that night. That is one I know about personally.It is recommended for an entertaining read fornwhat its worth.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
