About this book
The Senate had this manual printed in 1939 as a government document, after a resolution of 1938 submitted by Senator Hayden. H. Paul Caemmerer wrote it for high school students taking civics, in 25 chapters that deal with the founding and growth of the national capital. The early chapters cover the movement that placed the seat of government near the Potomac and the establishment of the temporary and permanent seats of government. The preface gives special weight to the McMillan Park Commission of 1901 and the city planning that followed.
