"The Bridge of San Luis Rey is American author Thornton Wilder's second novel, first published in 1927 to worldwide acclaim. It tells the story of several interrelated people who die in the collapse of an Inca rope bridge in Peru, and the events that lead up to their being on the bridge. A friar who has witnessed the tragic accident then goes about inquiring into the lives of the victims, seeking some sort of cosmic answer to the question of why each had to die. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928." - Wiki. Three films were based on the book. LITERATURE BOX 1

33025This important case arose from the competition between Pennsylvania and Virginia for domination of the developing trade with western markets. The State of Virginia authorized construction of a bridge from Wheeling across the Ohio River. The State of Pennsylvania claimed that such a bridge would impede free passage of steamboats to Pittsburgh a major terminus of such trade. Pennsylvania sought to enjoin construction on the ground that the bridge was "a nuisance and an obstruction to interstate commerce on a navigable river" II Warren The Supreme Court in United States History 234. For years Pennsylvania had engaged in an ambitious program of canal railroad and turnpike improvements; the bridge it was claimed would diminish the value of these State-sponsored modes of transportation.<br/> The Supreme Court commissioned R. Hyde Walworth to determine whether the suspension bridge "is or is not an obstruction to the free navigation of the Ohio river at the place where such bridge is erected across the same by vessels propelled by steam or sails engaged or which may be engaged in the commerce or navigation of said river; and if it is such an obstruction what change or alteration if any can be made consistent with the continuance of the bridge across the said river that will remove the obstruction to the free navigation by such vessels." Congress also weighed in on the issue scheduling hearings at which the competing positions were aired passionately and in detail. <br/> "Few cases have ever excited greater interest or seemed to affect more extensively the internal commerce of the country than this celebrated controversy." Id. at 235. The Supreme Court held that Virginia's enabling Act unconstitutionally conflicted with Congress's power to regulate navigation and enjoined the construction as a nuisance. Dissenting Chief Justice Taney argued that Congress's failure to exercise its regulatory power left Virginia free to authorize construction of the bridge which in any event Pennsylvania had failed to prove was a public nuisance. <br/> <br/> The pamphlets are:<br/> <br/> a.
