Review: Enjoyed as an Arch History buff - great book
Review: More than a bridge - The book is an entertaining account of the life of an important individual. It has very little detail of his engineering work. Why was he able to build bridges? What did he contribute? What is it about the technology of suspension bridges that makes them the choice for long spans? But the book does talk about Mr. Roebling as a person, and he is kind of interesting. It drags a bit at the end.

*by L***R on August 9, 2017*

Dr. A.E. Santaniello’s comments on “Chief Engineer: Washington Roebling, the Man who Built the Brooklyn Bridge.” I have spent my entire life with books and book writers and can agree totally with his evaluation of Wagner’s book. Don’t be put off by the title; while the book does give you an insight into the engineering wonder that is the Brooklyn Bridge as executed, day by day, under Washington Roebling’s exacting eye and enormous capacity for detail, “Chief Engineer” is also the poignant, heart-rendering and always captivating story of “one man’s tenacity in the fact of hardship beyond most people’s imagining.” Fortunately, Erica Wagner has beautifully done the imaging for use: Washington Roebling and his life stand forth as much itself an enduring monument to the human spirit’s capacity to journey through adversity to the stars as the great work that still stands as Wagner writes, “ an extraordinary symbol of nineteenth-century ideals of progress.” This is biography, science and cultural history in one cover. The book answers beautifully Hart Crane’s question in his great poem “The Bridge,” “How could mere toil align thy choiring strings!”
