Book Description
Excerpt from Distinguished Residents of Washington, D. C: Science, Art, Industry; Biological Sketches and References In presenting this book to the public the author wishes to permit no other motive for its inception and publica tion than the desire to render due acknowledgment and credit to those men and women of Washington, D. C., who have attained special distinction in the various fields of art, science and industry. It is not presumed that all such have been included; far from it! But that the list herein is largely representative of those pre eminent and most distinguished cannot be denied. This is especially true of the scientific representatives, those highly intellectual men who are constantly searching the hidden and most valuable principles and storerooms of nature, and by their ceaseless and skillful efforts revealing more of the beauties, wonders and benefits of creation. Our country is in the forefront for intelligent' and fruitful research, as well as in the other vocations for mankind's advancement and comfort, and no city in the entire country proportionately presents such a large col lection of brilliant, useful and distinguished results.

Book Description
Washington, D.C., President John F. Kennedy once remarked, is a city of "southern efficiency and northern charm." Kennedy's quip was close to the mark. Since its creation two centuries ago, Washington has been a community with multiple personalities. Located on the regional divide between North and South, it has been a tidewater town, a southern city, a coveted prize in fighting between the states, a symbol of a reunited nation, a hub for central government, an extension of the Boston-New York megalopolis, and an international metropolis. In an exploration of the many identities Washington has taken on over time, Carl Abbott examines the ways in which the city's regional orientation and national symbolism have been interpreted by novelists and business boosters, architects and blues artists, map makers and politicians. Each generation of residents and visitors has redefined Washington, he says, but in ways that have utilized or preserved its past. The nation's capital is a city whose history lives in its neighborhoods, people, and planning, as well as in its monuments and museums.
