Centennial Free Bridge
And a "period" article from the Red Bluff Sentinel 2nd December, 1876
Centennial Bridge
To correct some of the miss information:
The "Centennial" Free bridge was called that for a reason, as it was built during the nations 100th birthday in 1876.
I included an article from the Sacramento Daily Union 3rd January, 1884 concerning the said bridge.

Another correction of wrong information concerning the builder ( contractor ) of said bridge.
