"Fences, Gates and Bridges: A Practical Manual" by George A. Martin is a practical manual written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the construction, maintenance, and legal aspects of fencing, providing detailed instructions and illustrations for various types of fences, gates, and bridges used primarily in rural settings. The opening of the manual describes the importance and evolution of farm fencing in the United States, highlighting that the cost
of fences often surpasses that of farm buildings. It emphasizes the necessity for practical knowledge in building fences to ensure durability and effectiveness.
