Chief engineer : the man who built the Brooklyn Bridge
Wagner, Erica, 1967-2017
Book
His father conceived of the Brooklyn Bridge, but it was Washington Roebling who built this iconic feat of human engineering after his father's tragic death. It has stood for more than 130 years and is now as much a part of New York as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. Yet, as recognisable as the bridge is, its builder is too often forgotten. This book is a brilliant examination of the life of one of America's most distinguished engineers.
