Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives and Works of Civil and Military Engineers of America The object of the author has been to brie y portray the lives of pioneer American Engineers, and to collect some of the reminiscences of the earlier works of engineering of the country, with which their names are identified. The description of the works alluded to in this volume is necessarily general in its character, and embraces less of detail than it would were it intended for professional reading alone. Few circumstances have contributed so much to pro mote the commerce and great prosperity of the States as our system of internal improvements, for which we are largely indebted to the skill, foresight, and integrity of the Civil Engineer, and there is no profession to whom, in this country, less public justice has been accorded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Engineers in France This book is not intended to be a history or detailed account of the work done by American Engineers in France. Their work was so extensive and so varied as to put the writing of its record beyond the powers of one man, for none could know it all. It is hoped that some day the record will be properly set forth in justice to the men and for the honor of the profession, but it will be of necessity the joint product of several collaborating authors. The first contribution that America made to the Allied cause was the raising of nine regiments of engineers, with one of which the author served. It is their work that is the motif of this book. In the writing, it has been necessary to touch on all the fields of engineer activity, because these regiments came in contact with every field, even if they did not invade each one, from constructing ports to digging and holding trenches, in all parts of France from the Atlantic to the Vosges, from the Mediterranean to Flanders. Consequently there results a brief outline of what all engineers did. Perhaps, it may serve to give those who did not go overseas a picture of what is meant by engineering in modern war. There will not be found any description of spectacular or dazzling pieces of construction like so many structures in civil works that arouse admiration. There was none such. Military engineering consists in doing things in the simplest and quickest way, where permanency in character and accuracy in execution yield to the imperious demands for results that are immediately available regardless of all other considerations.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of an Old English Civil Engineer, 1858-1908 Half a century of active and continuous employment in the various fields of civil engineering in parts of the world-wide British Empire and in the United States of North America may contain matters of interest to my old and young friends wheresoever they be. The twentieth and thirty-first of January, 1908, were two fiftieth anniversaries in my professional career. The latter date recalled the launching of the Great Eastern steamship at Mill Wall, on the Thames. I believe I am the only living engineer who had been employed by Mr. I. K. Brunel, her designer and builder, in his oflice, and witnessed her construction during 1854-5. I was not a witness of the launching ceremony in 1858, as I was then in India, engaged in the survey and staking out of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, which was to connect Bombay with Calcutta and Madras. C'yrus Field told me in 1871, in New York, that if he had not had the fortunate opportunity to charter this gigantic vessel for the laying of his perfected cable on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean in 1865-6, he could not have made such a success of it. We should realize that the laying of this cable was the most important international link and economic event between England and North America since the first discovery of America by John and Sebastian Cabot in 1497-8. England on this fiftieth anniversary had the opportunity of recalling to mind the great name and master - genius of one of her most famous civil engineers, who had during the first half of the last century designed and built the largest steam vessels - the Great Britain and the Great Western - for international commerce across the Atlantic Ocean. He, too, had had the foresight to realize the fact that growing population and increase of commerce in the future would require a broader width of gauge for railways than the ordi nary old wagon gauge of England.

I drafted the skeleton of the accounts of organization, preliminary training and demobilization, and Lieutenant Burrage, who was appointed regimental historian, did that for the overseas service. Then several officers, but especially Major Norcross and Major Franklin, wove into the story accounts of things with which they were especially acquainted, while Colonel Perry furnished a good deal of material and reviewed the whole.
