About The Book: Systems of Military Bridges in Use by the United States Army: Those Adopted by the Great European Powers, and Such as Are Employed in British India (1863) by George Washington Cullum is a foundational work on military engineering focused on bridge-building techniques used in mid-19th century warfare. The book provides detailed descriptions, technical insights, and illustrations of military bridge types, such as pontoon, trestle, and suspension bridges.

A West Point graduate and military engineer, Cullum offers valuable insights into the logistical challenges faced by military engineers, making this work a significant resource for historians, engineers, and military enthusiasts interested in historical military technology.
