Needs Nothing!

Don't be fooled by that Junior League tag! This is the most delightful compilation of images and knowledgeable text, particularly on the early development of Washington as a city. It's like as if these Junior League ladies went out to places where no one had gone before to request permission to use material - and they got it! The extended captions are amazing, the formatting is terrific, and easy to follow, and if this is available used for a cent, every child in DC should have a copy. I'm a fairly seasoned researcher, and I love it!
