Synopsis:
Taking readers on an insider’s tour of Capitol Hill, The Mall, The White House, and Georgetown, this volume presents the history of Washington, D.C., through a rich array of gatefolds, vintage maps and plates, painting reproductions, etchings, and stunning photography. Superb images evoke the awesome vastness of Arlington Cemetery, the stunning architecture of Georgetown, and much more. The text brings to life the heart and soul of this city, revealing Washington’s evolution as a place of political action and pilgrimage and depicting such historical moments as The Freedom March led by Martin Luther King, Jr. and the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11.
