Many were leery of the steel James Eads used to construct the bridge as it was a new material at the time. "History Spotlight" is a collaboration between the Missouri Historical Society and the Higher Education Channel TV (HEC-TV) to highlight the people, places, and events that have helped shape St. Louis's rich past. | Missouri History Museum | Facebook
