ILLEGAL TENDER - Counterfeiting and the Secret Service in Nineteenth Century America
by David R. Johnson
Replete with colorful vignettes of criminals and their gambits, this book chronicles one of the most successful law enforcement campaigns ever conducted against the American underworld. The Secret Service was created by the Treasury Department after years of fierce opposition to the expansion of centralized power in American society. The book covers the Service up to the end of the 1800s. It was not until after the assassination of President McKinley in 1901 that the duties of the Service were expanded to the protection of the president.

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.
