Thousands on thousands will cross the Bridge because it is the Bridge. It's been called the 8th Wonder of the World and was the object of Ken Burns' first documentary. A fixture in the background of practically every movie or TV show set in New York City, the Brooklyn Bridge stands not just as an urban icon but as testament to engineering, ingenuity, and hard work. The Brooklyn Bridge: Its Earliest Years is a collection of 19th century accounts - a broad swath from construction details written by Washington Roebling himself to a souvenir booklet published by a large department store of the day commemorating the bridge's opening; as well as newspaper accounts of early panics and tragedies.
