Twenty-One Elephants and Still Standing

Fireworks and top hats filled the air in celebration when the Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883. Some wondered how much weight the new bridge could hold. P.T. Barnum, creator of "The Greatest Show on Earth," would stage a show on the bridge that was too wondrous to forget. Full color.
