Karen Van Etten’s first non-fiction book chronicles her decade long battle to preserve the Newfield King Bowstring Bridge. Built in 1873, and threatened to be demolished. One of only five bowstring bridges left in New York State is displaying one of the oldest bridge plates in the United States, Van Etten refuses to give up, or give in to outside pressures of modernization of historic structures.
