2003/06/12: Horace King built more than 100 covered bridges throughout Georgia and neighboring states. He was a freed slave of black, white, and Indian descent. King served four years in the Alabama State Legislature after the Civil War, representing Russell County. A documentary film of his life was made by Tom Lenard of Alabama University. A street in LaGrange, Georgia, is named after him and there is a historical marker for him located at King and Greenville Streets there as well. Some of his bridges still stand throughout the South today. - External Identifiers:
