as wartine Uniion spies and as soldiers in the Confederate army.

Patrick M.
Reynolds brings history
to life with a sense of humor. His exciting drawings put you

dealing that resulted in the location and construction of the
U.S. capital city, despite
all the bickering, petty jealousies, and down-right stupidity. This volume is almost out of print, hence the higher price.
