This bridge has an interesting story. In 1883, the failure of the English Dam far upstream on the Middle Yuba River sent a mass of water flooding downstream. The high flood waters surged upstream in Oregon Creek, lifted the bridge from its abutments and carried it away. When the flood waters subsided, the bridge was found some 50 yards below its original location. Mr. Freeman hired a logging contractor, Solon Chatfield, to return the bridge to its abutments. However, during the flood the bridge had been turned end for end and the west end of the bridge was placed on the east abutment and the east end on the west abutment as it has remained to the present time.
Historically, the bridge served local mining and logging communities and carried traffic on what was called Allegheny Ridge Road, part of the Henness Pass Road, a major freight hauling route over the Sierra Nevada via Henness Pass after the Comstock Lode discovery in Virginia City in 1859 sparked a Nevada mining boom. This route was attractive because goods could be shipped up the Sacramento River from the San Francisco Bay to Marysville before being loaded onto wagons for the trans-Sierra journey.
Watermarks are not on the purchased photos. All photos are unmatted and signed and dated on the back.
I can personalize any of my note cards (small and larger) inside and or on the front but they have to be ordered in sets of 5 (same photo.) 5 smaller note cards (4x5.5) will be $20.00. 5 larger ones (5x7) will be $30.00. Contact me and order as a special order.
The photographs come with acid free cardboard backing and a clear protective acid free sleeve. Note cards come with envelopes and protective plastic sleeve.
Canvas wrapped means the photo is printed on canvas and stretched around a wood frame. It is done so that the outside portion of the photo is on the sides. If this doesn’t work for a particular photograph, I don’t offer that size canvas.
It may take up to two weeks to ship.
