The Gateway Arch is a stainless steel arch that is 630 feet tall. The men who built it were very brave. When they were working on it, they had to put a crane onto a platform which was on tracks going up the backside of the arch. We they installed the last section at the top of the arch, they had to jack the space wider to make it fit. Yikes!
Ulysses Grant was Abraham Lincoln's favorite general during the Civil War. Back when Grant fell in love with Julie Dent, he made a decision to say "I love you" and ask her to marry him. To reach her, he had to ride a horse across a swollen stream. They were nearly swept away, but they survived. He asked, and Julia said yes. They kept their decision to get married a secret for four years.
