Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shanahan´s Guide to Washington and Its Environs: Together With Concise Historical Sketches of Many Things and Places of Interest to the Visitor to the Nation´s Capital The beautiful and progressive city of Washington, on the banks of the Potomac, 184 1/2 miles above the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, is the capital of the great American nation and gives promise of being the greatest capital in the world. Soon after the Revolutionary War the question of a permanent seat of government began to be agitated. The Continental Congress had to bold its sessions in eight different places, and the Congress of the Confederation was driven from Philadelphia, after being located there five years, to Princeton, N. J., because the proceedings were interrupted by a mob of turbulent soldiers, who were not promptly checked by the city authorities. This event exercised undoubted influence in causing the permanent seat of government to be located in a territory over which Congress would have exclusive jurisdiction.
