Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed social history of the Potomac River port town of Georgetown offers personal accounts by The Chronicler that cannot be found anywhere else. Richard Plummer Jackson (1816-1891), relates to the reader the history from the era of Indian settlement, establishment as a significant Maryland port for Potomac River trade, and the loss of its charter when absorbed into the City of Washington in the District of Columbia. The Chronicler gleaned information from the citizens of Georgetown, among whom he was born and reared. Although this work was not intentionally biographical in nature, it describes the key players in events which founded this early center of commerce. The opening chapter presents historical background, while subsequent chapters describe the effects of adverse weather on people and trade; construction of canals, bridges and aqueducts; establishment of banks and civic positions; fires and fire companies; churches and cemeteries-for both white and colored persons; the College, Monastery, libraries and schools; and social organizations. Added to this new edition are illustrations and a new every-name, subject and place name index by Wesley E. Pippenger.

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.
