<\/a><\/p>\nIn 1968 the world’s largest antique went to America. But how do you transport a 130-year-old bridge 3,000 miles? And why did Robert P. McCulloch, a multimillionaire oil baron and chainsaw-manufacturing king, buy it? Why did he ship it to a waterless patch of the Arizonan desert? Did he even get the right bridge? To answer these questions, it’s necessary to meet a peculiar cast. It includes: Fleet Street shysters; Revolutionary Radicals; Frock-coated industrialists; Disneyland designers; Thames dockers; Guinness Book of Records officials; The odd Lord Mayor; Bridge-building priests; Gun-toting U.S. sheriffs; An Apache Indian or two. And a fraudster whose greatest trick was to convince the world he ever existed. Roll up, then, for the story of one of the strangest events in Anglo-American relations. Curious, clever and sharp, this is history to delight in.<\/p>\n

This book tells the stories of all 33 Thames bridges in Greater London, from Hampton Court in the west to Tower Bridge. As well as the road bridges, it includes all the railway bridges and the three pedestrian bridges. It describes not only the present bridges, but also the previous bridges on each site. The book is liberally illustrated with the author’s own photographs, as well as a wide range of engravings and paintings, including work by Monet, Turner, Constable and Canaletto. There are also a number of rare images, including designs for bridges not actually built.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Auteur: Peter Matthews<\/p>\n\u00a0Website\u00a0Amerzon<\/a><\/p>\nLondon Bridges<\/h2>\n
