In celebration of it's 141st birthday, I would encourage everyone to check out, "The Great Bridge" by David McCullough.

It's one of the better pieces of historical non-fiction I have ever read.

John, Washington, and Emily Roebling are 3 of the most fascinating characters in American history (although John is technically Prussian) that most people have probably never heard of.
