George Ferris Jr. designed and built the first steel Ferris Wheel made to carry passengers; it was erected in Jackson Park, Illinois. The park was a desert of sand and stagnant pools that would be transformed by dedicated and talented architects and engineers into the greatest and largest fair the world had ever known. It would outshine the Paris Expo and be the perfect icon of American ingenuity, led by the Ferris Wheel.
