A Seaport Saga Portrait
of Old Alexandria, Virginia
by William Francis Smith and
T. Michael Miller
The frontispiece is a gorgeous painting of Alexandria showing
the Fendall house and the rest of the city. Here is a painstakingly
researched, illustrated history of the old seaport that shows
all of its beauty and flaws, accompanied by detailed descriptions,
from exquisite buildings to grubby street cleaners, from distinguished
residences to slave pens. Our favorite is the residence and portrait
of the rotund, eccentric General John P. Slough, the military
governor of the city during the Civil War.
8½" x 11 192 pages, index, illustrated, hardbound

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.
11¾" x 7½" 106 pages, full color illustrations,
index, paperbound ISBN 0-932514-31-6
#F1 Cartoon History of DC $14.95
