Summary "Fences, Gates and Bridges: A Practical Manual" by George A. Martin is a practical manual written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the construction, maintenance, and legal aspects of fencing, providing detailed instructions and illustrations for various types of fences, gates, and bridges used primarily in rural settings. The opening of the manual describes the importance and evolution of farm fencing in the United States, highlighting that the cost of fences often surpasses that of farm buildings. It emphasizes the necessity for practical knowledge in building fences to ensure durability and effectiveness. The first chapter introduces primitive wooden fences, detailing the construction techniques and materials needed for styles such as the Virginia rail fence, including instructions on layout and stability to withstand weather conditions. The manual aims to be a comprehensive resource for farmers and villagers by addressing both the construction methods and legal considerations surrounding fencing.
