Descriptionof Washington Roebling's Civil War. From the Bloody Battlefield at Gettysburg to the Brooklyn Bridge

Washington Roebling is well known as the man who supervised construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. This is the story of Roebling's Civil War service at Gettysburg and beyond, and how that service - as artilleryman, bridge builder, scout, balloonist, mapmaker, engineer, and staff officer - prepared him well for overseeing the monumental bridge project.

His personal history offers insights not only into the events at Gettysburg, but also into intelligence activities and the work of army pioneers during the Civil War years, as well as the political wrangling within the senior officer corps of the Army of the Potomac. Roebling's military service - characterised by leadership and pioneering, decision making and dealing with different personalities and politics - prepared him well for the monumental work on the legendary Brooklyn Bridge.
