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.
