Download or read book New Guide to Washington written by George Watterston and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Guide to Washington: Containing a History and General Description of the Metropolis, Its Public Buildings, Institution, With Seventeen Beautiful Lithographed Engravings; Accompanied by a New and Correct Map The first edition of this work appeared in 1840, and, though got up in haste, and consequently imperfect, it was found to be popular. The want of such a guide to our city had long been felt, and the author having been from childhood an inhabitant of Washington, was induced to undertake it, from his intimate acquaintance with all its localities, improvements, progress, public and private institutions, and whatever concerned it. Much, however, from the haste with which it was prepared, was necessarily omitted, and to supply this deficiency a new edition is now issued. The present is almost a new work. The former edition did not contain one-third of the matter which this volume embraces. It has been greatly enlarged; everything of a temporary character has been thrown out, and that only which may be considered as permanent, retained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Washington No less than twenty-four different Sites were proposed, and a number of cities offered inducements by agreeing to trans fer their public buildings, while the citi zens of Baltimore subscribed thirty thou sand pounds for the erection of necessary buildings there. Finally a bill passed the House Septem ber 22, 1789, selecting Pennsylvania as the place for the location of a permanent capital. This provoked bitter opposition on the part of the southern members led by Mr. Madison, who was supposed to express the Views of President Washington. The bill, however, suffered defeat on coming into the Senate, by having its consideration postponed. At the next session of Congress the fight became hotter than ever, and many thought the existence of the Union de pended upon the subject.

Download or read book Washington West of the Cascades Vol 1 written by Herbert Hunt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington, West of the Cascades, Vol. 1: Historical and Descriptive; The Explorers, the Indians, the Pioneers, the Modern Fiction at its best is infused with nothing finer than the history of the State of Washington. And from the day when adventurous white men first set foot upon its soil we have the record - an incomparable one. For more than a hundred years the diary of its development is known. The aim of this work shall be to set forth the record in a new dress, adding to the recital material that has not been in book form, and bringing it as nearly as possible up to date. It is the intention to give considerable attention to the romantic period of over land travel and the first settlements. They were a race of giants were those men and women who braved the wilderness to plant an empire on the Northwest coast. Their sufferings never can be told in full. What brought them here? What is there in the American blood that ever hastens us to the farthest place? Why did the pioneers leave or ignore the thousands of rich acres of the middle west and drive to the coast? Especial attention will be given to the founding of cities and towns and to their development. The creation of this rich commonwealth is the work of a little more than sixty years, and it is the intention to point out some of the forces and many of the personalities that figured in the process. Old Fort Vancouver, blessed with a background rich in history; old Fort Steilacoom, the center of activities through the horrors of the Indian war; Olympia, the birthplace of the state, scene of the first settlement north of the Columbia River and prolific in romantic history; these are the spots around which the narrative of Washington, in its early reaches, must revolve, and the effort will be made to add something to their picturesqueness.
