Lost Washington, D.C. (The History Press)
"Books such as DeFerrari's push us to look up from our devices and enter a past that is not visual, but a part of a living city." --Marc Fisher,The Washington Post"For aficionados of D.C. history, DeFerrari's lively historical nuggets - complete with plenty of vintage photos - will provide hours of pleasure and perhaps the occasional 'Gee, I didn't know that!'" --Karen Lyon,The Hill Rag"Lostuses personal sketches, lithographs, period photos, and postcards to cover the city's earliest days as a sparsely populated "largely rolling farmland and rugged wilderness" to a city now with more than 600,000 residents....While focused on the past physical identity of the city, Lost also introduces us to a cast of personalities whose entrepreneurial Ã©lan helped build a growing city, the seat of a power of an expanding nation. These characters helped forge the city's emotional and social identity." --John Muller,Greater, Greater Washington
