Synopsis
Excerpt from A Complete History of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge: From Its Conception in 1866 to Its Completion in 1883
The tide of travel begins to ?ow back and forth over the great structure which now unites the largest and the third largest cities of the Union, the Atlantic pulsating between. N 0 longer can the impatient passenger over the East River, detained by fog or ice, look up at the slowly-growing causeway overhead, and wonder to himself and his neighbor whether he shall live to cross it, and incredulously shake his head. The old Brooklyn resident sees the task accomplished; and the long years of waiting dwindle to a moment smaller than that in which the Arabian Nights hero ducked his head in the tub of water, and experienced the vicissitudes of half a lifetime before he drew it out again, and all within the com pass of a breath. How recent seems the agitation whether such a thing were possible; the various plans, bordering all the way from Sober sanity to stark inanity; how of yesterday the persistent face and figure that buttonholed the traveller at Fulton and Main Streets.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough look at the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Written in 1883, the book is a testament to the talent of the engineers who designed it and the workers who built it. It was at the time the longest suspension bridge in the world, with the longest span of any bridge built up to that time, making the work an engineering marvel. One of the first of its kind, iron and steel were used in the bridge's construction instead of the traditional stone creating new methods of construction and solving new challenges in engineering. Today, the Brooklyn Bridge is still seen as a model for the suspension bridges built after it, demonstrating not only the skill of 19th century engineers, but also their vision of what a bridge could be. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
