During my research for interesting facts about the monuments, memorials, and other interesting sites within the Washington, D.C. area, I noticed two similarities about the available written sources. First, most of the sources required the reading of several pages of text before finding a single fact of interest; and two, there was no one source that summarized the many discovered facts into an easy to read reference. Just The Facts About Washington, D.C. is intended to satisfy these shortcomings.

It includes thousands facts covering 38 major topics in an easy to read format, with intermittent photographs for reference. The format introduces the reader to the topic, describes the individual or event that is being recognized, and culminates by providing specific facts about the topic. It is written for tourists and amateur history buffs like me, who just want an easy to read source of reference to help make your trips to Washington, D.C., Arlington National Cemetery, and Mount Vernon more enjoyable. So enjoy!
