In A Guide to Civil War Washington, historian Stephen M. Forman takes you on a fascinating journey through the District of Columbia both as it was during the Civil War and as it is today. Here you can visit the actual sites where history was made. For students of Civil War history, there is simply no more thorough directory of extant period sites in the nation's capital.

A comprehensive guide to Civil War sites in Washington, D.C., this compact book provides visitor information for people ready to explore a city that offers much more than the Smithsonian Institution and the Washington Monument. Readers will find helpful maps of various neighborhoods, with detailed and entertaining descriptions of old homes, churches, and other sites. Most tourists routinely miss several interesting attractions without even knowing it, and with this book they'll have all the information they need to find them. Example: North of downtown is Fort Stevens, where Abraham Lincoln become the only U.S. president to come under enemy gunfire while serving in office--and where, according to legend, Capt. Oliver Wendall Holmes yelled "Get down you damn fool!" as bullets whizzed by.
