The Brooklyn Bridge by Elizabeth Mann & Alan Witschonke

The Brooklyn Bridge

By

Description

He would build the world's longest bridge and he would do it in a new way. But John Roebling died before work began. It should have been the end the Brooklyn Bridge but John wasn't the only Roebling who could dream.
The Brooklyn Bridge is about a legendary feat of engineering and an extraordinary family. We learn how the bridge was designed and constructed, but we also learn of loyalty, sacrifice, and commitment.
This is the story of a bridge across a great river and a bridge across generations, a bridge of stone and steel and the human spirit.
