George C. Parker spent 30 years selling the Brooklyn Bridge to confused immigrants arriving at Ellis Island—sometimes twice a week—along with Grant's Tomb, the Statue of Liberty, and Madison Square Garden. He had forged deeds so convincing that victims would literally set up toll booths and try charging people to cross before police shut them down. The con worked so well and so often that we still say "I've got a bridge to sell you" today, and Parker died in Sing Sing after making that phrase permanent American slang.
