Skyscrapers and the Men Who Build Them (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Skyscrapers and the Men Who Build ThemIN the preparation of this volume the author has made no attempt to present a technical treatise on building, nor has he had any thought of covering all of the aspects of construction work. Many important elements have been referred to only casually, and, in fact, many subjects incidental to skyscraper construction have been omitted altogether.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
