In 1917, the engineer Joseph Baermann Strauss, started building a bridge across the treacherous Golden Gate Bridge. Twenty years later, in May of 1937, the first cars roared across the brand new bridge.
As a child, Strauss dreamed of doing something that no one else had done, this book is an excellent telling of the struggles and accomplishments in his life!
