Washington
Album A Pictorial
History of the Nation’s Capital by Bob and Jane
Levey
This fast-paced read is about tensions–especially the struggles
between blacks and whites, and between the city and its suburbs.
It describes how the city grew as a ug of national crises–the
Civil War, World War I, the Great Depression, and WWII during
which people scrambled for places to live. Boarding houses packed
four or six in a room. This book is not about institutional Washington.
It’s about the people of the capital–who they were
and how they dealt with both everyday live and national crises.
It’s about how their city has changed & is still changing
today.

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.
