Bridge to the Atomic Age: from Los Alamos to San Ildefonso Pueblo to the House at Otowi Bridge How an ordinary woman, Edith Warner, impacted the most extraordinary event of our time—the building of the first Atomic Bomb.

“It was a terrible irony that brought the makers of bombs to the quiet Otowi crossing. But Edith Warner stands in the history of those desperate times as a kind of rainbow, a sign that war and bombs are not all that men and women are capable of building.” –Phillip Morrison, scientist at Los Alamos.
