John Frank Stevens built the Panama Canal (convinced TR it could be done with locks), after numerous other engineers were convinced it was impossible. John Frank Stevens rebuilt the Trans Siberian RailRoad across Asia & the Harbin, China extension and bridges across lakes, rivers & canyons, etc. John Frank Stevens discovered the NorthWest Passage. Charles Stevens was the first to die going over Niagara Falls. Henry Stevens designed the now famous Harley Davidson motorcycle. John Stevens & sons designed the T-Rail used in railroads today & the screw propeller that moves most ships today. Edwin A Stevens founded the Stevens Institute of Technology (across the river from the more written about Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Please, I invite all of you to add to this list...
