Mayo's Bridge, across the James River on the south side of
Richmond, Virginia, first opened in 1788. Numerous Confederate soldiers from
North Carolina would have crossed the bridge, or other such bridges (including pontoon bridges) during the
War. The bridge, the supports of which you can see in this photograph, was
destroyed in April 1865 after the last Confederate soldiers passed over from
the area of Petersburg.
I took this image in December 2006.
