"An absorbing 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." (from the back cover). Condition notes: minor edge wear, outer page block has some spots / discoloration, a few interior page smudges, cover curl and the plastic coating over the stiff wraps has numerous "bubbles" on the spine (see photos).
