The Great Bridge

the Epic Story of the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge
Mar 05, 2015Rainman rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
A challenging read at times unless you are into politics or engineering, but quite a biography on Washington Roebling, his wife, and his father. The story is truly about the bridge, though, the "eighth wonder of the world." Count the years and lives that it took and compare to today's major construction projects. This book includes some fantastic pictures, including one of the NYC skyline when the New York tower of the bridge was its tallest structure.
