Roebling and the Brooklyn Bridge
BOOK SUMMARY She built a monument for all time. Then she was lost in its shadow. Discover the fascinating woman who helped design and construct an American icon, perfect for readers of The Other Einstein. Emily Warren Roebling refuses to live conventionally―she knows who she is and what she wants, and she's determined to make change. But then her husband Wash asks the unthinkable: give up her dreams to make his possible. Emily's fight for women's suffrage is put on hold, and her life transformed when Wash, the Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, is injured on the job. Untrained for the task, but under his guidance, she assumes his role, despite stern resistance and overwhelming obstacles. Lines blur as Wash's vision becomes her own, and when he is unable to return to the job, Emily is consumed by it. But as the project takes shape under Emily's direction, she wonders whose legacy she is building―hers, or her husband's. As the monument rises, Emily's marriage, principles, and identity threaten to collapse. When the bridge finally stands finished, will she recognize the woman who built it? Based on the true story of the Brooklyn Bridge, The Engineer's Wife delivers an emotional portrait of a woman transformed by a project of unfathomable scale, which takes her into the bowels of the East River, suffragette riots, the halls of Manhattan's elite, and the heady, freewheeling temptations of P.T. Barnum. It's the story of a husband and wife determined to build something that lasts―even at the risk of losing each other. -

Narrative Significance Relevance of the Collections to the Humanities Phineas Taylor Barnum's impact reaches deep into our American heritage, and extends far beyond his well-known circus enterprise, which was essentially his “retirement project” begun at age sixty-one.

Guide to the PT Barnum Research Collection
Guide to the P.T. Barnum Research Collection (BHC-MS 0001) By Meghan Rinn January 2017 Descriptive Summary Creator: P.T. Barnum; Nancy Fish; Jenny Lind; Charles S. Stratton; M. Lavinia Warren; others Title: P.T. Barnum Research Collection Dates: 1735-1988 [bulk 1830-1921] Quantity: 18 manuscript boxes, 10 oversize drawers Abstract: The P.T. Barnum Research Collection represents archival materials collected by the Bridgeport History Center over the years relating to the life and ventures of P.T. Barnum. Barnum himself was deeply connected to Bridgeport, building four homes there, serving as mayor, and hosting his circus' Winter Quarters in the city. As a result, this collection represents both national and local history. The series in the collection relate to his personal life, the American Museum, Barnum's circus ventures, Jumbo the Elephant, Jenny Lind, and Charles S. Stratton and Lavinia Warren. Each series contains manuscript material including an extensive correspondence series in Barnum’s own hand, programs, tickets, artifacts, illustrations, and photographs, as well as clippings and examples of promotional material in the form of booklets, trading cards, and even paper dolls. This collection is artificial, and has grown over the years. The series themselves were formed by researcher needs, and as such have been kept intact at the time of arrangement. Collection Number: BHC-MS 0001 Language: English Repository: Bridgeport History Center Biographical Information or Administrative History P.T. Barnum Phineas Taylor (P. T.) Barnum was born in Bethel, Connecticut on 5 July, 1810. Barnum’s name is popularly associated with the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, but the circus was only one facet of his career. -
P. T. Barnum and His Influence on Advertising
Chapter Three P. T. Barnum and His Influence on Advertising In 1910 some celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of P. T. Barnum. The same year a writer for Printers’ Ink mentioned this celebration and proceeded to dismiss Barnum and his contributions to advertising. According to the writer, it is entirely misleading to celebrate the “advertising ability” of a man like Barnum without making some very sharp distinctions. It is as if medical men should celebrate a hoodoo medicine man of long ago—it is interesting as a starting point of a profession, but lamentably gross and misrepresentative of the modern development of it.1 However, Frank Rowsome Jr. claimed that Phineas Taylor Barnum was “one of a little group of men whose ideas and enterprise permanently shaped the art” of advertising before his death in 1891. 2 EARLY YEARS Phineas Taylor Barnum was born in 1810 in Bethel, Connecticut; he was named for his maternal grandfather. Barnum learned the value of money early in life. For instance, when he was twelve, he sold lottery tickets for his grandfather. At fifteen, he clerked in his father’s store. Two years later, he opened a porterhouse in Brooklyn. One year later, he worked as a bartender in a porterhouse in New York. From the money he earned, he opened a store in Bethel, Connecticut. As Barnum wrote in his autobiography, he learned quickly about consumer behavior. “It was ‘dog eat dog’—‘tit for tat.’” 45 46 Chapter 3 Our cottons were sold for wool, our wool and cotton for silk and linen; in fact nearly everything was different from what it was represented. -
PT Barnum's Mansions
A Glossary of Locations from the Life and Times of P.T. Barnum: P.T. Barnum’s Mansions By Meghan Rinn and Adrienne Saint-Pierre, the Barnum Museum Iranistan An elaborate mansion designed in an eclectic Moorish revival style, Iranistan was the P.T. Barnum family’s home in Bridgeport, Connecticut, from 1848-1857. Destroyed by a fire only a decade after it was built, the home contained valuable antiques, bespoke furnishings, and artwork that Barnum acquired while in Europe or had specially made for the home. Many items were saved, and today the Barnum Museum owns a number of these pieces. Though Iranistan was Barnum’s private family residence, he used it to market his own “brand,” realizing that he himself had become famous, not just the performers he hired. To that end, lithographs, engravings, and even decorative glass panels used in mantel clocks featured the stately manor with its unique architecture, and were widely sold to the public. For the short time it stood, Iranistan was a landmark. The building was designed by Leopold Eidlitz, but essentially copied a portion of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton which Barnum saw while in England and was incredibly fond of. The design also drew heavily from eastern architecture; nothing remotely like it existed in America at the time it was built, so its opulence and unusual style became the subject of news articles, as was the housewarming party for 1000 people on November 14, 1848. The house cost Barnum well over $100,000 and sat on seventeen acres of land. The property included magnificent gardens, a greenhouse, animals that lived on the grounds, stable and carriage house, a pump house to provide water inside the home, and a large curved driveway. -
