The Wheeling Bridge Suit: A Notice Of Its History And Objects, Addressed To The Legislature Of Pennsylvania (1852) is a book written by Charles Ellet. It provides a comprehensive account of the legal dispute surrounding the construction of the Wheeling Suspension Bridge in West Virginia. The book outlines the history of the bridge's construction, the objections raised by the state of Virginia, and the subsequent legal battle that ensued. Ellet argues that the bridge is an important transportation link that connects the east and west, and that it should be allowed to stand. He also provides a detailed analysis of the technical aspects of the bridge's design and construction. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American infrastructure and the legal issues surrounding its construction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
