A British Perspective on American Civil Engineering Achievement before 1840
Consideration of selected remarks of leading British engineers D. Stevenson and T. Telford on this theme has enabled the essential contribution of timber construction to America's early public works infrastructure to be better understood. As an example, L. Wernwag's 1810 Neshaminy River timber and iron truss bridge, of which I.K. Brunel possessed a lithograph, is discussed as an innovative achievement in bridge development.
