This work follows the life of Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who was a German general and founder of the Zeppelin Airship Company. As an official observer during the American Civil War, he visited with engineers Thaddeus S.C. Lowe and John Steiner of St. Paul, Minnesota, who inspired his future work with airships.
