American Barns and Covered Bridges by Eric Sloane (1954) Illustrated

Lot # 25      

American Barns and Covered Bridges by Eric Sloane, Published by New York: Wilfred Funk, Inc. (1954), good condition in fair/good dust jacket. From the 'Author's Note: "Th...moreis book of sketches and comment is designed to lift the old barn and covered bridge out of the category of quaintness and the antique curiosity and to secure for them a rightful place in the story of architecture so that we may better see and feel the fine fabric of American development. .In the country the old tunes sound best; to those who can hear it, the song sung by old barns and wooden structures is precious music. I can be informative music too, for old houses speak as plainly as humans. (Beholding) an early barn or a hand-hewn bridge.is the closest thing to an intimate communion with the plain people who first kindled the American spirit and who evolved that architectural inheritance which has all but disappeared."
