| Abstract | Othmar Ammann (1879-1965) is rightfully viewed as one of the great bridge-builders of the 20th century whose five bridges of metropolitan New York are lasting monuments to his engineering genius. The correspondence between him, his family, and his spouse, Lilly Selma Ammann, born Wehrli, for the war years 1914 to 1918 reveal the experiential dimension to those years when Switzerland was spared the horrors of war and the United States entered the struggle only towards its end. |
