A sad story indeed, but it seems as if America itself is ashamed of it's own history. Anything more than a week old would be razed if it were up to many people -- that's why America has little culture or tradition.
Sigh...not surprised this bridge is gone. I wish I could do anything to save the remaining ones in the Peach State, but it seems they are hell-bent in destroying all history in this state.
Are you aware this bridge was demolished in late 2005/early 2006. They have built a new modern bridge and in the process blasted the Rogue's Ford Bridge.
