Bonnie Morrison's Opinion of Spanning the Gate

Spanning the Gate is a fascinating book with breathtaking photos of the Golden Gate Bridge under construction. There are many interesting personal annecdotes about the people involved with building the bridge, both engineers and workmen. The book contains some really surprising information about the bridge, such as how the cable was "spun" and the fact that the pieces of the towers were actually made in the east and thus had to be transported by ship to San Francisco through the Panama Canal! This really surprised me!
