author
Best known here for a detailed early-20th-century engineering work, this writer is a shadowy figure whose published record is surprisingly slim. The surviving book points to a practical mind focused on rail infrastructure and large construction projects.
Very little biographical information about E. B. Temple is easy to confirm from reliable public sources. Project Gutenberg lists Temple as the author of Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Vol. LXVIII, Sept. 1910, and the work centers on the New York Tunnel Extension of the Pennsylvania Railroad and related rail facilities.
From that record, E. B. Temple appears to have written in a professional engineering context rather than as a literary celebrity. Another later published item attributed to E. B. Temple is Philadelphia's New Passenger Terminal, which suggests an ongoing connection with major railroad and terminal projects.
Because clear, well-sourced personal details such as birth, death, education, or a full career history were not readily confirmed, it is safest to remember Temple as a technical author whose surviving publications capture an important piece of American infrastructure history.
