Sunset Over the Y Bridge

It's funny to hear residents of Zanesville, Ohio, call the Y Bridge, "world famous," when most of the world has never even heard of Zanesville; however, to their credit, it's a very unique and beautiful bridge. It's so unique, in fact, that Amelia Earhart once quipped that Zanesville is "the most recognizable city in the country" because of how easy it was to identify from the air.

This marvel of engineering was first proposed by the Ohio General Assembly in 1812. Their charter was to build a bridge connecting the towns of Putnam, Natchez, and Zanesville, all of which resided on different banks of the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum rivers. These towns eventually combined to form the city of Zanesville.

While the bridge was finally opened to traffic in 1814, the original limestone and wood structure has been rebuilt many times throughout history because of flooding between the two rivers. The fifth iteration of the bridge was completed in the Fall of 1984 and still stands today.

As the sun continued its descent, shadows gradually encased the beautiful history of my surroundings. Only the sounds of local traffic and the friendly banter of fishermen kept me company.

The final moments of color were my beacon to leave. Since it's hard work chasing sunsets, 😉 it was time for a cherry stout from the local Y Bridge Brewery. 🍻

One of my more interesting distant relatives is James Baldwin (1818-1895), my great-great-great-great-uncle who went to California during the 1849 Gold Rush. He's mentioned in a book about Muskingum County, Ohio, by Norris F. Schneider, entitled "Y Bridge City." The book states that "the returning forty-niners did not always tell how much gold they found. All were believed to be rich. James Baldwin came home and divided his gold with the man who furnished money for his trip. With his own share of the gold he bought a farm in Perry Township on the site of the Zanesville Airport. Many people tried to borrow money from Baldwin, thinking he had plenty and would not miss it. Baldwin was honest and did not want to lie to people. So he carried two pocketbooks. One was named 'World.' When some one asked him for money, Baldwin opened that pocket book and truthfully said, 'You see, I haven't got a cent in the World.' " Contrary to that, one of his obituaries said he was extremely generous and would help anyone in need. The estate records support that, because there's a long list of people who owed him money. By the time of his death, he owned several tracts of land in Perry and Salt Creek Townships. His estate was valued at about $50,000, which is about $1.9 million in today's money. His nephew, Samuel Russell, was accused of ransacking James' personal papers on the night of his death and destroying evidence of his debts to James. In his obituaries, he was also said to be eccentric, and the photo above of one of the pages from his estate record seems to confirm that, since a lot of money was found hidden in the oats, rye, wheat, etc.

Old Post Office (2) (3) by Joe Schumacher

Via Flickr:

(1) (2) Old Post Office in 2009. (3) The abandoned Post Office building in Zanesville, Ohio is looked a bit worse for wear here in 2022. Update: The July 2023 Google Street View shows that new wooden doors have been installed, the "Federal Building" sign above the door uncovered, and some of the ivy cleared away. Oh, and the National Register of Historic Places has a circa 1980s photo of a very clean building.
