摘要

Dedicated to the memory of Emily Warren Roebling (1843-1903) With faith and courage, she helped her stricken husband, Colonel Washington A. Roebling C.E. (1837-1926) to complete the construction of this bridge from the plans of his father, John A. Roebling C.E. (1806-1869) who gave his life to this bridge. "Back of every great work we can find the self-sacrificing devotion of a woman."
