Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an account of a hearing before the Senate Committee on Quadro Centennial to discuss whether Washington D.C. should host the Three Americas and Worlds Exposition in 1892. This Exposition would commemorate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's discovery of America. The proposal also included plans to construct a Three Americas Museum to house a permanent collection of historical artifacts from the western hemisphere, and a building to house an exhibition of American inventions. The author argues that the Exposition would be a fitting way to celebrate this anniversary, and that it would also provide a boost to the economy of Washington D.C. The author also emphasizes the value of preserving the historical artifacts and inventions that would be displayed at the Exposition, and argues that these items should be housed in permanent museums. The book provides a valuable insight into the planning and organization of the Three Americas and Worlds Exposition.
