Great building feats

It took forty years and nearly 25,000 lives, but on August 15, 1914, the Panama Canal was completed. For hundreds of years, adventurers, politicians, sailors and soldiers had dreamed of shortening the long, harrowing journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Yet Panama's geography made the task nearly impossible. Understand the tireless spirit of those who succeeded in building this remarkable canal, and those who died along the way. With b/w photos and illustrations. Ages 9-13.
