At the beginning of the year, I posted a quick post on pontoon bridges in use in the days just before World War II. As usual, when I find something obscure but interesting, it turns out Craig knows a heck of a lot more about it than I do.
His post on pontoon bridges for the Army of the Potomac in the Civil War is chock full of fascinating pictures. Go enjoy.

I have some pictures in my fathers WWII photo collection of some of these bridges, also some real ones that had been blown up. Interesting thanks I will go check it out.
Thank you for the link to Craig’s site. I am an amateur Civil war and WWII historian and I really enjoyed his post.
Mark, I’ve read some of YOUR stuff as well as Craig’s.
You may be unpaid, but you ain’t amateur.
Thank you sir, Sometimes the Muse strikes and my fingers actually follow direction.
