About this listen

The Lost History of the Capitol is an account of the many bizarre, tragic, and violent episodes that have occurred in and around the Capitol Building, from the founding of the federal capital city in 1790 up to contemporary times, including the events of January 6, 2021.

In this 230-year span, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the neighborhoods nearby have witnessed dozens of high-profile scandals, trials, riots, bombings, and personal assaults, along with not a few significant achievements. It is a popular work about the US Capitol Building and its environs.

An Excellent History of the US Capitol

This is a fascinating account of the growth of Washington, D.C., the Capitol Building itself, and the many historic events that took place in and near it. Students of history will be fascinated by the nuggets of information that are revealed as the book unfolds. The book was a bit too long in spots, but that was made up for by the excellent choices the author made in telling the story of our nation's "first" city.
