Proposed Double Pontoon Bridge

The above proposed double pontoon bridge was requested by the
Major Commanding the Union forces at Look Park.  The double
bridge was to have a double road connecting to the main
road on both sides of the stream.  The bridges were to consist
of three pontoons each with heavy beams supporting a plank
road.  The pontoon bridge was requested in case the Confederates
had mined the present bridge in some way.  Requests were conveyed
by telegraph, and runner for the following:

--Bridge Field Supervisor (Major Webster)
--Bridge Foreman (sgt.)
--Blacksmith with portable forge and tools;
--One platoon of pioneers;
--Six pontoons and all support materials from the pontoon train.
