C: With Full Outline of the Natural Advantages, Accounts of the Indian Tribes, Selection of the Site Founding of the City, Pioneer Life, Municipal, Military, Mercantile, Manufacturing, and Transportation Interests, the Press Schools, Churches, Etc., Etc Great History of the United States is sometimes referred to as merely an exhibition of the idiosyncrasies of its author; and if such a criticism can be passed upon the greatest of American historians, how can the least hope to escape, even when writing under the most favorable auspices, which was far from being the case in the preparation of this work? But it is not designed or desired to dwell upon this particular, further than to say that a. Great. Deal of matter of greater or less value was prepared which was necessarily excluded from the work in order to avoid the production of an exceedingly unwieldly volume. But even as it is, it is believed to possess some merit; how much, must be left to the kind and considerate judgment of the reader.

Book excerpt: Washington, DC, gleams with stately columns and neoclassical temples, a pulsing hub of political power and prowess. But for decades it was one of the worst excuses for a capital city the world had ever seen. Before America became a world power in the twentieth century, Washington City was an eyesore at best and a disgrace at worst. Unfilled swamps, filthy canals, and rutted horse trails littered its landscape. Political bosses hired hooligans and thugs to conduct the nation's affairs. Legendary madams entertained clients from all stations of society and politicians of every party. The police served and protected with the aid of bribes and protection money. Beneath pestilential air, the city’s muddy roads led to a stumpy, half-finished obelisk to Washington here, a domeless Capitol Building there. Lining the streets stood boarding houses, tanneries, and slums. Deadly horse races gouged dusty streets, and opposing factions of volunteer firefighters battled one another like violent gangs rather than life-saving heroes. The city’s turbulent history set a precedent for the dishonesty, corruption, and mismanagement that have led generations to look suspiciously on the various sin--both real and imagined--of Washington politicians. Empire of Mud unearths and untangles the roots of our capital’s story and explores how the city was tainted from the outset, nearly stifled from becoming the proud citadel of the republic that George Washington and Pierre L'Enfant envisioned more than two centuries ago.

Download or read book Washington, D.c. written by Mark N. Ozer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who, Why, What, Where and When these are important questions that you want to know about Washington, DC. This book incorporates the city's historical background and the who- the people associated with the various sites. It also gives you the contextual origins the why of what can now be seen. It explores in stories in each era of the interaction of geography the where and history the when; the place and the effects of politics on that place exemplified by outstanding buildings of each era that can still be seen today. Let author Mark N. Ozer give you a personal tour. The reader is guided through maps of each era described in chapters starting in the 1790s as the Seat of Government of the Revolutionary Generation; from the 1830s onward as the straggly Ante-Bellum Federal City; and finally during the 1860s when the Civil War, Reconstruction and Gilded Age made it truly the National Capital. Following its centennial in 1900, during the Progressive era and then New Deal, the Capital became the American shrine; and after World War II, by the time of its bicentennial in 2000, it became the International Capital and a Regional City. "Thoughtful and useful guide to the current city. Skillful demonstration on how the city's history and geography interact to capture the political philosophy of the American Experiment." Donald Kennon, Vice-President for Scholarship and Education U.S. Capitol Historical Society "A compact history and guide, it places the sights in a uniquely informative historical context." Carl Abbott, Professor of Urban Studies, Portland State University and author of "Political Terrains."

Book excerpt: "From an incomplete composition of brick buildings and informal gardens into an ordered landscape of white classical temples, the image of Washington, D.C., was transformed by visionary planning and implementation in response to the political and artistic movements of the early twentieth century. The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts was created by Congress in 1910 as an independent design review agency to guide the ongoing work of representing national ideals in the design of the capital city ... This comprehensive history explores the evolving role of the Commission of Fine Arts in the context of the artistic, social, and political circumstances that fostered the commission's creation and the subsequent trends that have informed its decisions."--Description from dust jacket.
