Lincoln and the Effie Afton bridge dispute tale in 1857
The first Mississippi bridge between Rock Island and Davenport opened in April 1856. It faced steamboat opposition backed by St. Louis interests and Chicago railroad sponsors. After the Biffle Afton collided with the draw, the fire destroyed the span next to the draw and halted the bridge for four months. Abraham Lincoln was among counsel for the bridge company and his remarks on tunneling or a high suspension bridge are noted in the Palimpsest.
