how are we going to either protect these bridges or destroy them because last thing we need is jeb stuart, somebody else, bobby lee, whoever marching into harrisburg or heaven forbid, marching on philadelphia. we've got to have some way of stopping this. so in october 1862, as jeb strt's running amok in franklin county counties over lancaster is commied to safety, that is their self-appointed, if you will businessmen and civic leaders are just have to come up with plan to defend the river crossings they instruct columbia'shief burgess to defend their bridges or quote unquote render impassable that either chopping holes in the deck or finding some other way to, destroying a span, or at least bridges. this bridge, by the way has 22 spans, each one of which is more than 200 feet wide. so there's plenty of opportunity to try to stop the confederates of the coming through this way. but you know, that was back in october. but everything's calmed down in pennsylvania since. of 62. we pennsylvania i've been hearing since the start of the war or rebels are coming or rebels are coming like an old c
