Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Federal City: Or, Ins and Abouts of Washington The City of Washington is far dearer to the nation´s heart now than it was before the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion. The treasure expended, and the blood spilled, in its defence, have made it seem to patriots sacred as a shrine. "To want to know all about it," is a national longing, and to gratify this in some degree, is the design of the present book. Its divisions naturally fall into the following: - I. Book of the Capitol. II. The History of the White House and its Inmates. III. Book of the Departments. IV. Book of the Military Hospitals in Washington During the War. V. History of the Institutions of Benevolence and Education, Churches, Theatres, Etc., With Items of General Local Interest. At the close of each general division an Index of Subjects will present at a glance, where the information may be found relative to any particular subject. An earnest endeavor has been made to obtain true information, while books, public documents, and files of newspapers, rather than the recollections of individuals, have been relied upon as deciding what is true. It is intended that the work shall be completed in ten numbers of 100 pages each. Each general division, however, will constitute in itself a book irrespective of the other divisions.
