Requests:  0 Summary:  "The World's Fair in Chicago, 1893, was to be a spectacular event: architects, musicians, artists, and inventors worked on special exhibits to display the glories of their countries. But the Fair's planners wanted something really special, something on the scale of the Eiffel Tower, which had been constructed for France's fair three years earlier. At last, engineer George Ferris had an idea--a crazy, unrealistic, gigantic idea. He would construct a twenty-six-story tall observation wheel. The planners didn't think it could be done. They called it a 'monstrosity.' It wouldn't be safe. But George fought for his design. Finally, in December 1892, with only four months to go until the fair, George was given permission to build his wheel. He had to fight the tight schedule, bad weather, and general disapproval. Against all odds, the Ferris Wheel turned out to be the talk of the Fair, and proof that dreaming big dreams could pay off. Today, George's Ferris Wheel is an icon of adventure and amusement throughout the world"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aiea Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Ferris Kr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Ferris Kr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Ferris Kr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Ferris Kr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Ferris Kr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Ferris Kr Biography Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Ferris Kr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 791.06 Ferris Kr J BIO Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Ferris Kr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Ferris Kr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
