Opis

With "Alexander Robey Shepherd, " John P. Richardson gives us the first full-length biography of his subject, who as Washington, D.C. s, public works czar (1871 74) built the infrastructure of the nation s capital in a few frenetic years after the Civil War. The story of Shepherd is also the story of his hometown after that cataclysm, which left the city with churned-up streets, stripped of its trees, and exhausted.
