At first, only the politicians wanted Washington, D.C., as the nation's capital. But after British troops burned it in 1814, Americans embraced the city. This historian tells the story of how the capital rose from a wilderness, starring aneccentric architect who fell in love with his adopted country. "A sprightly account of Washington, D.C.'s improbable genesis and survival."—Kirkus Reviews
