The White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court (DC) (Images of America)
- Used Book in Good Condition
In Washington, D.C., a city steeped in historyâ€•from museums and monuments to statues and stationsâ€•there are perhaps no structures as prominent as the working symbols of the United Statesâ€™ three-branch government: the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court. Embodying our nationâ€™s 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 storyâ€•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.
