This book tells the stories of a diverse set of bridges, past and present, within the study area that extends from Muscatine, Iowa, through the Quad Citie of Iowa and Illinois, to Savanna, Illinois, on the Upper Mississippi River. Included are bridges on the Mississippi at Muscatine and Clinton, Iowa, and Savanna, Illinois. Photographs or other images of each bridge are included. The origin of each bridge is described, along with the geographical and historical context within which each was built.
