I, too, @Good Humor by CK Steefel am curious to know if Emily Roebling is mentioned in that David McCullough book? I almost picked that book up once and will do so if Ms. Roebling is in it. Thank you in advance!
This is such a fun read!!! Secret Engineer sounds FASCINATING!! I love that you really thought about the Brooklyn Bridge run and came to the same conclusion I would have. I fully support the Queensboro Bridge route you wound up running. I imagine running ANYWHERE in NYC is probably dreamy!! 🍎
Jenna, this essay is enlightening and funny. Your writing style tickles me pink and your history bits also educate. I adore that story about the Brooklyn Bridge and Emily Roebling!! And THAT (building the Brooklyn Bridge) is where we learned about "the bends." Bridge building IS fascinating. Wonderful pics too!
Great piece. Hubby and I are currently listening to The Brooklyn Bridge by David McCullough on audible. Fascinating.
Does he write about Emily Roebling? Also, is there anything David McCullough hasn’t written about? That man is a writing machine
Indeed he talks about her.
Haha. No, there is no subject he hasn’t written about. His books are amazing.

Highly recommend. 1776 is my favorite of his.

I was staying way closer to the Queensboro than the Brooklyn bridge, so… :)
It was dreamy! Usually I just go to Central Park and wanted to do something different
