AbstractBorn in 1896 in Muehlhausen in Thueringen, John Augustus Roebling developed a method for stranding and weaving wire cable and became renowned for building bridges. His most famous work is the Brooklyn Bridge, although he died shortly after construction began, and the bridge was completed under the direction of his son, Washington Augustus Roebling.
