Book Description
This sweeping study takes readers on a fascinating tour of Washington, D.C.’s monuments, statues, headstones, and memorials. James M. Goode canvasses more than 500 sculptural pieces, often overlooked by residents and visitors, and presents critical discussions and detailed histories of each work. The result is a graphic history of the cultural, political, and military contributions of America’s greatest leaders. Washington Sculpture revises and updates Goode’s classic 1974 book The Outdoor Sculpture of Washington, D.C., expanding its survey to include pieces found in nearby Maryland and Virginia, unusual cemetery sculpture, and monuments recently erected on the National Mall—the National WWII Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. Chapters explore the city's fourteen neighborhoods as well as the Maryland and Virginia suburbs. Both a guide for visitors and a reference for serious historians, Washington Sculpture offers the most comprehensive examination of urban sculpture in the nation's capital.

Book Description
Brookland is a neighborhood with strong connections to Howard and Catholic Universities, the Catholic Church, and Washington's black intelligentsia. Its rich past is well preserved in its architecture, historic sites, and social institutions. It is a thriving middle-class neighborhood and a place full of family stories. It is graced by beautiful institutional open spaces, woods, and large backyards. But above all, it is a place full of history. The Brooks Mansion, the Twelfth Street business corridor, the Franciscan monastery, Fort Bunker Hill, and the Ralph Bunche House--each site tells another story of Brookland.

Book Description
With more than 200 photographs, maps, documents and news articles, Crestwood: 300 acres, 300 years reveals how a leafy retreat above the commotion of the capital city affected and reflected the historic events of Washington. Crestwood has been a recognizable geographic area beginning with the first survey of an estate called Argyle Cowall and Lorn in 1720. Among the people traveling to and through the neighborhood over the centuries have been Native American tool makers, Civil War soldiers, United States presidents, unemployed protest marchers and horse racing fans. Clues to the community's history can be found in Crestwood's streets and alleys, in its earliest homes and remnants of older structures, and in the annals of the U.S. Supreme Court.
