Description
Historians have dismissed the 10 years it took to in a position the brand new capital as nothing more than man’s inability to tame a a swamp. In an excellent narrative Bob Arnebeck displays how with slave axe-men, lawyers’ writs, and speculators’ greed a hilly, smartly wooded paradise was once changed into a land of stumps ruts, shacks, and isolated mansions. The stories of the slaves and employees are a final told.
