Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3 MB
Overview: Among the countless number of visitors who come to the Jefferson Memorial annually, few know of the checkered and troubled process of its planning and construction. Everything from lofty scholarly debate on the symbolic meaning of its architectural style to protestors preparing to chain themselves to cherry trees to block their felling swirled around the Memorial when it was no more than a set of blueprints and the first stone had yet to be laid. Generations removed from its origins, the Jefferson Memorial is now mostly viewed not only as a fixture of the nation’s capital but a fitting tribute to the author of the Declaration of Independence. The Jefferson Memorial: The History of Washington D.C.’s Famous Monument chronicles the construction and history of one of America’s most famous memorials.
