The history of Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, is as complex and fascinating as that of the nation itself. Built on an almost untouched plot of land on the Potomac River, the city has grown from a collection of small villages into a major metropolis with a central position on the world stage. Author Joseph R. Passonneau has crafted an account that complements a comprehensive and detailed text with an exceptional array of images, both archival and contemporary. Passonneau weaves his discussion around the continuous growth, change, and renewal of the city, focusing on various physical and social components federal structures both formal and utilitarian; central and suburban neighborhoods; transportation technologies, from the stagecoach and the railroad to the Metro and the airplane; patterns of settlement based on ever changing demographics. Illustrations include elegant handtinted perspective drawings, photographs from all eras of Washington's history, and visionary sketches. Foremost among the visual material is a series of spectacular foldout maps prepared by the author that show every structure in central Washington and Georgetown at key points in the city's history. As the city continues to develop into the twentyfirst century and beyond, these maps and this book will provide a fascinating reference and a fundamental guideline.
