Old Railway Bridge Cayuga

 This is Ontario, copyright 1937. Katherine Hale describes her venture along the Grand River ~ travelling north.

"We were tracing our way on the River Road from Dunnville, through farmlands...
Here begins the continuous series of bridges which we will follow for a hundred and eighty miles.  Wooden bridges, stone bridges, wide modern cement bridges, tell the story of the valley from the day of ox-carts to automobiles.  The first we noticed was at Cayuga, a town which was named after one of the Six Nation tribes ~ "The people of the Great Pipe."  Caledonia, further up, has a larger bridge of ten spans.  With every mile that we drove the trees in greater frequency and beauty lined the road, or were grouped into small woods.  The entire valley is a paradise for tree lovers and an ideal field for the student of forest resources."
