As to James Eads, he was an important 19th C. engineer. His famous bridge over the Missisippi was a marvel in 1867-1874 and is still carrying traffic today. A better case can be made for Rufus Choate being there than Johnny Appleseed, who is more legend than fact. John Lathrop Motley's historical works are not primary sources these days, but when written they were works of scholarship and achievement. [Eric Stott, 07/12/2006]
