520			_a"James B. Eads" by Louis How is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and achievements of James B. Eads, a prominent engineer known for his innovative work on the Mississippi River, particularly in bridge building and river navigation improvements. It explores his early struggles, extensive knowledge of engineering, and pivotal contributions to American infrastructure, showcasing his determination and ingenuity. The opening of the work introduces Eads’s early life, detailing his humble beginnings in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and his transition to St. Louis with his family. It describes his childhood curiosity about machinery, his inventive spirit, and the formative experiences that led him to become a self-taught engineer. At just nine years old, he developed a passion for steam engines and built his first working model. The narrative sets the stage for his future accomplishments and hints at the remarkable feats he would achieve in his professional life, beginning with his diving-bell and wrecking business and foreshadowing his monumental projects like the Eads Bridge.
