Jackson presents a complete and thorough accounting of the construction of the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge, now known as the Eads Bridge. There are really good details about the political and business climate of the day that impacted construction and the later financial failures of the bridge company. In addition, the author presents a more complete picture of James Eads, warts and all, that I find more interesting than the fawning, one-dimensional profiles that are more common.

"A tale of grand dreams, shady politics, daring engineering experiments, greed, ambition, and westward expansion, 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."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
