Book excerpt: Excerpt from Architect's Report and Plans for the Improvement of the Lighting, Heating, Ventilation, and Acoustics of Senate Chamber and Hall of House of Representatives, 1864 The new windows will be filled in with stained glass, which will pro duce a soft and agreeable light. It is proposed to light the Senate chamber at night by means of eight circular burners of Frink's patent, with powerful reflectors, one placed over each; and the House of Representatives with thirteen circular burners, having a reflector over each, by which means the light can be increased to any amount desired, and the present objectionable heat from the great number of unprotected burners on the ceiling will be altogether done away with, as there will be placed over each reflector a Copper dome, surmounted by a Copper chimney eight inches in diameter, passing out vertically through the roof, which must attract all the heat upwards, while it reflects all the light downwards. To elucidate which the undersigned submits the accompanying drawings of Frink's patent reflector, which he would recommend as the best means of lighting the Halls of Congress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The previously untold story of the violence in Congress that helped spark the Civil War In The Field of Blood, Joanne B. Freeman recovers the long-lost story of physical violence on the floor of the U.S. Congress. Drawing on an extraordinary range of sources, she shows that the Capitol was rife with conflict in the decades before the Civil War. Legislative sessions were often punctuated by mortal threats, canings, flipped desks, and all-out slugfests. When debate broke down, congressmen drew pistols and waved Bowie knives. One representative even killed another in a duel. Many were beaten and bullied in an attempt to intimidate them into compliance, particularly on the issue of slavery. These fights didn’t happen in a vacuum. Freeman’s dramatic accounts of brawls and thrashings tell a larger story of how fisticuffs and journalism, and the powerful emotions they elicited, raised tensions between North and South and led toward war. In the process, she brings the antebellum Congress to life, revealing its rough realities—the feel, sense, and sound of it—as well as its nation-shaping import. Funny, tragic, and rivetingly told, The Field of Blood offers a front-row view of congressional mayhem and sheds new light on the careers of John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and other luminaries, as well as introducing a host of lesser-known but no less fascinating men. The result is a fresh understanding of the workings of American democracy and the bonds of Union on the eve of their greatest peril.
