Robert Shackleton 
The Book of Washington [EPUB ebook] 

Books about the national capital are always in order. Those written almost one hundred years ago might already be out of date, as regards many significant features of the city’s growth and development. But Mr. Robert Shackleton, after an extended experience in describing such cities as New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago, has at last written a comprehensive ‚Book of Washington’—not a guide or handbook merely, but an intelligent summary and review of the past and present attractions of the city.
