"Like so many others (I presume), the Washington Monument was decided upon over a hundred years ago and then erected in all its simple majesty. With this short documentation, I learned that it took many years of planning, discarded planning and other "flies in the soup" before the majestic edifice would see fruition.
This is truly a wonderful and absorbing history of one of our nation's outstanding landmarks. It's astounding that after over a hundred years, this monument is still actually operating (via elevator) to take visitors to the top for a breathtaking view of Washington DC. And this, even after a recent devastating earthquake. Truly a remarkable and thorough history of the Washington Monument, which I recommend to everyone--especially for our younger generation."
