Rails Across the Mississippi: A History of the St. Louis Bridge
By : Robert W. Jackson
The grand dreams, shady politics, and daring engineering experiments surrounding the construction of the Eads Bridge. Rails across the Mississippi is the first book-length history since 1881 to document the planning, financing, and construction of the first bridge across the Mississippi River at St. Louis, a national engineering landmark completed in 1874 that is now known as the Eads Bridge. Robert W. Jackson takes a fresh look at this monumental project, dispersing the myths and filling in the gaps left by earlier scholarship.
