Synopsis
This work details the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, which connects Manhattan to Brooklyn across the East River. Not only does the author survey the construction of this amazing structure, he places the event within its historical and cultural context, offering a story of life in New York City toward the close of the 19th century. John Augustus Roebling, a foreign-born engineer, took on this most ambitious of his projects to date, after having built suspension bridges in several other U.S. cities. His son, Washington Augustus, took over after his father's death in 1869. McCullough's book was published in 1983, in celebration of the centennial of the bridge's completion.
