Hear the fascinating story behind the building of the Bear Mountain Bridge. This program features Barbara Cali, the author of Steel & Grit, a newly published book by Syracuse University Press. If you have ever been awed by the majesty of the bridges crossing the Hudson River this presentation is a MUST! Not only did the author use the original unpublished architectural plans quietly resting in our society's archives, but she also discovered a wealth of fresh material in other untapped historical locations. Her discovery of rare documents exposing the crucial roles played by creators and sponsors of this architectural wonder will certainly surprise listeners. Hope to see you at this event!
