 "This is the bridge between Eufaula and Georgetown that was built by Horace King. Horace King also helped build the covered bridge over the Black Warrior between Tuscaloosa and Northport. The Yankees burned it 155 years ago TODAY on APRIL 5, 1865." (I MADE A BIG MISTAKE ON THIS POST AND OTHERS HAVE SHARED IT! O.K. The historic marker down @ the river says Horace King built the first bridge which the Yankees burned April 5, 1865. IN REALITY, another slave named KING built that one and Horace King built the one that replaced it in 1872.Sorry 'bout the mistake.)
