The White House, the Capitol and the Supreme Court:: Historic Self-Guided Tours

Description: The White House, the Capitol and the Supreme Court:: Historic Self-Guided Tours by Thomas J. Carrier Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In Washington, D.C., a city steeped in history--from museums and monuments to statues and stations--there are perhaps no structures as prominent as the working symbols of the United States three-branch government: the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court. Embodying our nations complex and, at times, tumultuous history, these buildings also house invaluable pieces of our American past. A visit to these national treasures provides a lesson in both the people and events that have shaped this country. Representing the heart, soul, and strength of American independence, the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court tell a fascinating true story--one that includes presidents, vice presidents, senators, justices, and political visionaries. Touring the buildings, visitors see such familiar faces as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King Jr., and Susan B. Anthony, as well as learn about lesser-known figures such as Chippewa warrior Beeshekee, Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite, and Vice Presidents Daniel Tompkins and William R. King. The paintings and portraits that adorn the walls, the statues in every corner, and the rooms themselves provide commentary on the political life of a developing nation. Author Biography A longtime tour guide and the author of Washington, D.C.: A Historical Walking Tour and Historic Georgetown: A Walking Tour, Thomas J. Carrier has compiled here a valuable visual tour through three of our nations most symbolic buildings. Providing seven maps, more than 200 images, over 175 historic sites, and detailed information on the artwork and architectural details of each of these prominent structures, The White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court will guide readers on an enjoyable and edifying journey through three hundred years of American government and history.
