The nation's capital city is located in a small space between Virginia and Maryland, but it is not a part of either state. Readers will discover why the District of Columbia was chosen to be the center of the U.S. government and how the city was planned and constructed. They will also learn about the vibrant local culture and traditions as they find out what it is like to live in D.C. today.
This revised third edition takes an updated look at the geography, history, government, people, culture, and attractions of Washington, D.C.
