Book Synopsis
Alexandria is one of America's most important Colonial towns. Sitting in the shadow of the nation's capital, it was the home of George Washington, the launching point of the French and Indian war, and the site of the Thomas Jefferson's inaugural ball. Alexandria is now the site of hundreds of architecturally and historically significant buildings. It has the charm of Charleston and Savannah and is home to numerous boutiques and gourmet restaurants. Historical Tours Alexandria, Virginia takes the reader on an exploration of this storied American city from its beginnings to even how the streets were named. Included are timelines that add further texture to the history described, biographies, and archival photos and maps.
