Historians have dismissed the ten years it took to ready the new capital as nothing more than man's inability to tame a swamp. In a brilliant narrative Bob Arnebeck shows how with slave axe-men, lawyers' writs, and speculators' greed a hilly, well wooded paradise was turned into a land of stumps, ruts, shacks, and isolated mansions.The stories of slaves and workers are at last told.

Bob Arnebeck has been writing about Washington history for fifteen years. He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Leslie Kuter, and their son, Ottoleo.
