A tale of grand dreams, shady politics, daring engineering experiments, greed, ambition, and westward expansion. It documents 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 known as the Eads Bridge.

Robert W. Jackson is an urban planner and historian who has worked for the National Park Service, Historic American Engineering Record, and on documentation projects in Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
