DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars CJ Bunny Awesome historical facts. Photos, photos, photos I found this book to be an exceptional resource in the history of the bridges that span the Willamette River in the city of Portland oregon. It is filled with historical photos, names of engineers and contracting companies. I thought it especially interesting to see photos of naval vessels of the United States heading upriver or passing through these open bridges and to learn the christening date and first captains of these vessels. I felt a renewed sense of pride by these Naval photos, that Portland was, and continues to be one of the great cities of this country.. "Five Stars" according to Lr Pedersen. best book for gift to new Portland family
