About this title

About the Author:

The late Eldon Hauck lived in Anaheim, California.

From Library Journal:

Hauck provides detailed historical profiles of the capitol buildings of the 50 U.S. states and the federal government in Washington, D.C., plus those for American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The profiles, which average four to six pages and are arranged alphabetically, include an enormous amount of fascinating minutiae. The reader learns, for instance, that Maryland's first official statehouse "was a frame clapboard building of one story with a finished loft. It had a half addition on the rear, was 40 feet wide by 68 feet long. Its construction cost 250,000 pounds of tobacco." American Capitols is up to date, authoritative, and recommended.
