Flashbacks Volume One
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.

Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, Capital Hill, LeDroit Park, Tenleytown,
Brookland, and others. Stories in this book go back to the explorations
of Capt. John Smith in the 1600s and the Indian Wars of early
Virginia, continuing into the 20th century with the introduction
of the cherry trees to Washington and the end of segregation
in public schools.
