Descriere magazin:
The history of the modern United States Capitol, the iconic seat of the U.S. government, is also the history of America\'s most tumultuous years. As the majestic new building rose above Washington\'s skyline, battles over slavery and secession were ripping the country apart. Ground was broken just months after Congress adopted the compromise of 1850. Workers began to bolt the Capitol\'s 9-million-pound cast-iron dome into place in 1856. The statue Freedom was placed atop it in 1863, five months after the Battle of Gettysburg. Little known is the greater irony: the United States owes the building\'s scale and magnificence to Jefferson Davis, who remained the Capitol\'s staunchest advocate up until the week he left Washington to become president of the Confederacy. Davis\'s protégé and the engineer in charge was army captain Montgomery C. Meigs, who as Lincoln\'s quartermaster general of the Union Army would never forgive Davis\'s betrayal of the nation. The Capitol\'s brilliant architect, and Meigs\'s longtime rival, was Thomas U. Walter, a Southern sympathizer who would turn fiercely against the South and all who had betrayed the Union. In Freedom\'s Cap , Guy Gugliotta, an award-winning journalist, science writer, and author, has captured with impeccable historical detail the clash of personalities behind the building of the Capitol and its extraordinary design and engineering.
