It is backed by 10 years and 5,000 hours of research of more than 10,000 historical sources. The significance of the book is that it identifies more than 150 newly discovered surviving historical homes in the Greater DC Area that nobody even knows about that are associated with these American heroes. It also identifies an additional 250 that were once known and documented, but have since been forgotten over time.The subtitle for the finished book is "The Complete Encyclopedia of 200 Heroes." Future releases anticipate to sub-divide the 200 Heroes into smaller and more affordable books and offer special subsets according to different themes and interests (i.e., Revolutionary War Heroes, US Presidents, US Army, Navy, and Air Force Heroes, US Scientists and Inventors, US Explorers, etc).

Building Washington
Author: Robert J. Kapsch
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421424886
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
A richly illustrated behind-the-scenes tour of how the nation’s capital was built. In 1790, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson set out to build a new capital for the United States of America in just ten years. The area they selected on the banks of the Potomac River, a spot halfway between the northern and southern states, had few resources or inhabitants. Almost everything needed to build the federal city would have to be brought in, including materials, skilled workers, architects, and engineers. It was a daunting task, and these American Founding Fathers intended to do it without congressional appropriation. Robert J. Kapsch’s beautifully illustrated book chronicles the early planning and construction of our nation’s capital. It shows how Washington, DC, was meant to be not only a government center but a great commercial hub for the receipt and transshipment of goods arriving through the Potomac Canal, then under construction. Picturesque plans would not be enough; the endeavor would require extensive engineering and the work of skilled builders. By studying an extensive library of original documents—from cost estimates to worker time logs to layout plans—Kapsch has assembled a detailed account of the hurdles that complicated this massive project. While there have been many books on the architecture and planning of this iconic city, Building Washington explains the engineering and construction behind it.

Book Description
Politics is nothing new to Washington, D.C., even in the arena marked with base paths and outfield grass. The stadium for the expansion Washington Nationals baseball team cost over $600 million and while opponents decried the waste of taxpayer money, supporters promised the stadium would stimulate economic development. Land swaps, closed-door deals, and valuable parking-lot strategies were as complex as any game plan employed on the diamond. The district's past stadiums, tracks and Olympics facilities are archived and described in this history, along with their political backdrops. The book features numerous drawings and photographs.
