George Washington's Washington: Visions for the National Capital in the Early American Republic

This book traces the history of the development, abandonment, and eventual revival of George Washington's original vision for a grand national capital on the Potomac. 'George Washington's Washington' is not simply a history of the city during the first president's life but a history of his vision for the national capital and of the local and national conflicts surrounding this vision's acceptance and implementation.
