A Cartoon of the District of Columbia Flashbacks Volume One Patrick M. Reynolds brings history to life with a sense
of humor. His exciting drawings put you on the scene with the
conflicts, madness, plus the wheeling and dealing that resulted
in the location and construction of the U.S. capital city. This
book covers the early history of DC from 1776 to 1863. You'll
be surprised at how many cities served as the U.S. capital; you'll
be amazed that the city was built--despite all the bickering,
petty jealousies, and down-right stupidity.
