Ep 66 - The Great Steel Bridge

Anna and Paul welcome Jack Brown to the show to discuss his new book, Spanning the Gilded Age: James Eads and the Great Steel Bridge. We discuss the very first steel structure in the world, the madcap guy who came up with it, and the unlikely story of its construction and continued use to this day!
