| Publisher Description: Before John and Jackie lent a touch of Camelot to the famous red-bricked rows and even before the founding of the nation s capital, Georgetown was an influential port city. Men such as the charismatic Scot Ninian Beall came to the Potomac shores to capitalize on the riches of the New World. Beaver pelts, great hogsheads of tobacco, and slaves all crossed the wharves of George Town. Through a series of vignettes, Missy Loewe and David Mould chronicle the fascinating history of the nation s oldest neighborhood.
