Excerpt from Visitors' Companion at Our Nation's Capital: A Complete Guide for Washington and Its Environs, With Over One Hundred Photo Illustrations Made Expressly for This Work; To Which Is Added an Appendix, Containing the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, Washington's Farewe The aim of this volume is to present to the reader, in attractive form, the interesting story of our Nation's Capital - how it has grown in the hundred years since its establishment to be the most magnificent city in America. With the history of the development and progress of the city it has been the purpose of the writer to give the latest and most authentic information of the different institutions of the Government. The illustrations have been carefully executed by the best artists, and embrace the Capitol and other Government buildings, and all the prominent features of the City of Washington and its environs. Special attention has been paid to the chapter on Mount Vernon and the Washington Family, - the portion relating to the English ancestry giving the results of the latest researches. A noted writer has said: "The Nation has founded a city that bears and will transmit to posterity the name of Washington and his renown. It is a living, intelligent monument of his glory, and will reflect, as it grows in wealth and splendor, the inestimable consequences resulting to the country from his martial qualities and patriotic virtues," and it has been truly said by one of the great orators in Washington, that it is "a liberal education to go through its streets and public buildings." As the Capital of a great and enterprising people, its history illustrates the Nation's life, as well as the deeds of her greatest representative men, in the most critical periods of her existence.

Washington, D.C., President John F. Kennedy once remarked, is a city of "southern efficiency and northern charm." Kennedy's quip was close to the mark. Since its creation two centuries ago, Washington has been a community with multiple personalities. Located on the regional divide between North and South, it has been a tidewater town, a southern city, a coveted prize in fighting between the states, a symbol of a reunited nation, a hub for central government, an extension of the Boston-New York megalopolis, and an international metropolis. In an exploration of the many identities Washington has taken on over time, Carl Abbott examines the ways in which the city's regional orientation and national symbolism have been interpreted by novelists and business boosters, architects and blues artists, map makers and politicians. Each generation of residents and visitors has redefined Washington, he says, but in ways that have utilized or preserved its past. The nation's capital is a city whose history lives in its neighborhoods, people, and planning, as well as in its monuments and museums.
