Where is the Brooklyn Bridge? -- We need a bridge -- Like father, like son -- How to build a suspension bridge -- The deadly caissons -- The bends -- A man in his room -- Greed -- A bridge celebration day -- A hundred years of celebrations.
"Building the Brooklyn Bridge was no simple feat. Despite a brilliant plan from a father-son team of engineers, the process was a dangerous and grueling one. Construction workers developed a mysterious illness (now known as the bends), several died, and the project had devastating effects on the engineers' lives. Still, after fourteen years, the Brooklyn Bridge was finished and became the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time and is still widely admired today. Megan Stine tells the fascinating story behind one of the city's best-loved landmarks."--
