Brilliant, Entertaining, Vital Features in 
Scribner’s Magazine 1915 
Colonel Goethals’s own account of the building 
of the Panama Canal. Four articles. 
The man who has been at the head of the greatest constructive work 
of peace, the Panama Canal, will write the story of its building and the 
important questions which had to be solved. Colonel Goethals is a man 
of deeds. This is the first and only account of this great work that he 
has written. 
The Personality of Col. Goethals 
will be written about in a preliminary article by Joseph B. Bishop, author of “The 
Panama Gateway,” and for nine years Secretary of the Isthmian Canal Commission. 
Mr. Bishop will give in detail Col. Goethals’s methods of meeting and solving the many 
problems that confronted him from day to day, illustrating it with numerous anec¬ 
dotes and incidents. It will be a pen picture of the great canal builder on the job.
