Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Special Limited National Capital Sesquicentennial Edition signed by Frederick A. Gutheim on limitation page. Hardcover. No dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Some foxing. Slight discoloration to front cover. Pages unmarked. *Autographed by author.* The Rivers of America was conceived by Constance Lindsay Skinner. Skinner envisioned the series: "This is to be a literary and not a historical series. The authors of these books will be novelists and poets. On them, now in America, as in all lands and times, rests the real responsibility of interpretation. If the average American is less informed about his country than any other national, knows and cares less about its past and about its present in all sections but the one where he resides, it is because books prepared for his instruction were not written by artists." The series was widely popular and was extended to 65 volumes over 37 years. Signed.…

Hardcover. Condición: Used - Very Good. When 'Worthy of the Nation' first appeared in 1977, it won much acclaim for its comprehensive treatment of Washington's design and urban development. Now the story has been brought up to the present, tracing the first thirty years of home rule for the District through the completion of the National Museum of the American Indian and the World War II Memorial in the early twenty-first century. Frederick Gutheim and Antoinette J. Lee begin with L'Enfant's survey of 1791, the uneven growth of Washington City as an early port, its rapid expansion during the Civil War, and the McMillan Plan of 1901-1902, inspired by the City Beautiful movement. They consider the close relationship between the growth in national ambitions and responsibilities and the density of the governmental presence--offices, facilities, military outposts, parks, and multiplying statuary and memorials. Gutheim and Lee also survey residential communities, commercial districts, and transportation infrastructure. They outline various efforts to shape and channel the phenomenal growth of the city during the twentieth century, including controversial attempts to rehabilitate some neighborhoods while largely destroying others in the name of urban renewal. Illustrated with plans, maps, and new and historic photographs, the second edition of 'Worthy of the Nation' provides researchers and general readers with an appealing and authoritative view of the planning and evolution of the federal district.
