Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington, Old and New Mr. George F. Schutt, proprietor of The New Ebbitt and National Hotel, recognizing the demand from tourist and student guests for fuller information about Washington than can be had from the ordinary guide books, conceived the idea of compiling a booklet to meet such inquiries. Having assembled much data of old Washington, particularly concerning facts and personages from time to time identified with his hotels, he has been prevented, because of the many demands upon his time, from personally putting his ideas into effect. He, therefore, employed the services of the writer to perform the task for him. This little book aims to give the reader, in concise form, an account of the events leading up to the selection of the site of the National Capital and to briefly trace its growth from ante-bellum days and the period immediately succeeding the Civil War to the present day. Grateful acknowledgment for helpful suggestion is made to the Hon. Robert Wickliffe Woolley, Auditor of the U. S. Treasury for the Interior Department; Chas. Clinton Swisher, Ph. D., LL. D., Professor of History, The George Washington University; and to Mrs. Mary Stevens Beall, Secretary of the Columbia Historical Society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the State of Washington The history of the State of Washington has been published occasionally in the form of expensive subscription volumes, augmented by the aid extended from generous individuals who were persuaded to have their biographies and portraits added for a monetary consideration. This book is written in the belief that the time has now come when there is a distinct use for a compact record in one volume, free from money-enticing addenda and depending for success upon its own merits. It is intended primarily for the general reader, but the frequent citation to sources will make it usable in such high schools and colleges as may need a text in this subject. Acknowledgments of assistance have been made in footnotes throughout the work. It should, however, be recorded here that the difficult task of preparing Chapter XXXI on "Federal Activity in the State" has been greatly facilitated by the aid of United States Senator Samuel H. Piles, the members of President Roosevelt's Cabinet, and their assistants. The greatest difficulty arose from the fact that much of the information sought had never been segregated as to States. It may transpire that that chapter will blaze the way for a new appraisal of the increasing cooperation by the American nation with the individual States. Governor Albert E. Mead has kindly permitted the use of the portraits of Territorial and State governors collected by him for the State, and George H. Himes, Assistant Secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, furnished a number of the other illustrations. The efficient and tireless help of Charles W. Smith, Assistant Librarian of the University of Washington, is also acknowledged with gratitude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Washington Unvisited by them. The Civil War had surged over the country, scarcely causing them a heart-throb. When Early made his raid upon the borders of the town they only smiled to hear of it; they were Southern ladies, and safe in any event. Soldiers marched and countermarched in street and avenue - they only bowed their blinds and sat farther back in their parlors. Milly and Hark became free people; the country rocked with jubilation and blazed with ban ners so far as they were conscious of it they regarded it as a part of the latter-day ruin. A President was impeached; it did not signify; the new Presidents were like chil dren playing with crowns and sceptres. As nearly as possible time and the march of nations stood still that Miss Veronica Sidney and her sister Sedley might pass, pausing, if not with that President who had been an uncle-in - law of some long dead aunt of theirs, yet with his immediate successors. The income of these old gentlewomen was very small, consisting of the rents of certain houses, sometimes paid and some times not, and it was now smaller than ever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington Street, Old and New: A History in Narrative Form of the Changes Which This Ancient Street Has Undergone Since the Settlement of Boston The story of this street is the story of Boston's first thoroughfare and begins with the beginnings of Boston. As the first High Waye towards Roxburie, then the only avenue to the mainland, composed of the first twisting roads and paths struck out in succession throughthe length of the originally pear-shaped peninsula and over its slender stem the mile-long, tide-washed Neck, this thoroughfare was distinctively the first Boston Main Street. At the outset the highway was but the germ of a thoroughfare; and for more than thirty years from the town's start it extended no further than to the present Boylston Street line. Beyond that line, or above Essex Street, there was during this time only a footpath or rough cartway towards Roxburie. And after further extension was effected Boylston Street yet remained practically the thorough fare's terminus with respect to its occupation by shops, taverns, dwellings, and mansion houses, throughout the Colony period and for the greater part Of the Province period. Beyond Boylston Street there were few houses upon it and fewer shops till after the Revolu tion. Above Dover Street there were before the Revolution very few inhabitants; and so late as 1800 only one or two houses were counted from the site of the present Cathedral of the Holy Cross to Roxbury.

His father's name was Augustine Washington; his mother's, before her marriage, Mary Ball. She was the second wife of hit. Washington, and a beauti ful woman. She seems also to have had a strong, upright character; and brought up her children exceedingly well. Soon after George's birth, his father left the old family estate, and went to live in Stafford County, near Fredericksburg. Both these houses have since gone to ruin. In those days, good schools were very rare, and even the rich planters did not find it easy to have2 george washington. [1743.

The first and for many years the only pictures that hung on the wall of the old fashioned sitting room in our southern Indiana home were those of George and Martha Washing ton. The story oi the hatchet and cherry tree was one of the constructive in uences in my life. As children we never tired of hearing stories of this great man. Later, in school, as we studied the history of our country, and his part in it, he became to us a sort of demigod. Could a real man do what Washington did? He seemed to be the special care of Providence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He thinks, also, that quite a number of our great generals will be seriously dis turbed in their dignity on seeing what liberties my artist has taken with them. Such opinions as these are rather too common with publishers in this country, who generally take very narrow views as to what public men think and do. This work was not written to offend, but to amuse and instruct little people. I have too much respect for our great generals to believe that they will feel offended at what I have said of them. Some of our little generals may perhaps take exception to the positions my artist has assigned them, and feel disposed to make war on him. But there will be nothing new in this.

Anticipating this very natural exclamation, let the new aspirant be allowed a few words of explanation, if not apology. Abundant and excellent are the biographies of Washington, certainly. Yet there seems room for one especially adapted to young people - not children, exactly, but the older pupils in our schools, and some learners who have done with schools. For these, the very fulness of the best lives of Washington renders them unsuitable. Details of battles and statesmanship, the cruelties of war and politics, are not particularly interesting or instructive to the young.

Both Peter the Great and George Washington founded a city, a capital city, and in each case the city was named after its founder - the City of Washington and the City of St. Petersburg. Peter laid the foundation stone of his St. Petersburg and Washington the foundation stone that marked the beginning of the city of Washington, in the course of the same century! Each was an event of the seventeen hundreds. It is one Of those facts on which the imagination loves to linger.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington After the Revolution, 1784-1799 ON the 28d day of December, 1783, Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the armies of the Revolution to the Congress of the United States, then in session at Annapolis, Maryland. After a simple but most impressive ceremony, made memorable by the singular beauty and dignity of his address, he left for Mount Ver non, where he arrived toward the close of the following day. It was the evening before Christmas when Wash ington returned to that home which through the long and weary struggle was ever in his mind, and where he hoped, to use his own words, to spend the remainder of his days in cultivating the affections of good men, and in the practice of the domestic virtues. But the end was not yet! There was to be but a brief period of repose; other and more trying years were before him; other and more trying duties were to be imposed. But when they came, when the new duties and responsibilities were to be met, the old firmness and courage, judgment and decision, were displayed, and, strong alike in peace as in war, the great soul, responsive to the call, was found equal to the task.
