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 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.

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.
