Judas Burning (2005)
“From her seat in the back of J.D.’s Ford Explorer, Dixon examined the iron structure that had played such a prominent role in her family’s past. As the truck lumbered slowly over the rutted, dangerous span, she stared at the river that looked as if it had fallen asleep and forgotten to flow on to the Mississippi Sound. The river’s appearance was deceiving. The current was both strong and treacherous.
One of her relatives, Alfred Dunagan, had been involved in the controversial plan to build the ...Fitler Bridge back in the early 1900s. He and his wife had drowned when the ferry capsized crossing the river during a storm; the story was family legend. Neither Dunagan nor his partner, Jacob Senseney, had lived to see their dreams sculpted into concrete and iron.
The state legislature had recently promised a flood of state and federal money into Chickasaw County to preserve the old structure. The Fitler Bridge, unwanted and damned a century earlier, was now a historic landmark.
The caravan halted on the single-lane bridge when the lead car dropped through a pothole and came to rest on its rear axle.MoreLess
