It is authoritatively stated that the building and maintenance of
the farm fences in the United States have cost more than the
construction of the farm buildings. Be this as it may, wide large
numbers of works have been written upon rural architecture we
believe this is the first publication specially devoted to Fences,
Gates and Bridges. It aims to be a practical work, showing the
"evolution" of the fence from the road barrier of logs, brush or
sods to the latest improved forms of barbed mire. The numerous
illustrations are mainly representations of fences, gates, etc., in
actual use. The chapter on fence law is necessarily condensed. The
various judicial decisions upon the subject alone would fill a
large volume. This little work, the first and only one of its
character, is given to the public in the confident hope that it
will prove specially useful to farmers and village residents.
Fences, Gates and Bridges was originally published in 1901.

"The author, George A. Martin, knows his subject, not only fence
building but the farm and its requirements. He knows the stock: the
unconfinable pig, the dexterous cow. He knows his materials,
especially wood. I count twenty-one species of tree in the text,
each especially suited for a particular application. He knows the
value of work well done, done to last, and he aims to give value
himself, in authorship as in the building of simple necessary
structures."
