What Happened Here? Washington D.C. Knowledge Cards

The continental congress of 1790-1791 noted that the area soon to be the District of Columbia was a vaporous, parasite-ridden marsh subject to steambath summers and arctic winters. Whether this knowledge played a part in the decision to house a vast bureaucracy there is unknown, but the city of Washington--or Washingtonople, as architect Pierre L'Enfant wanted to call it--thrust itself up from the swamp and began to accumulate a motley, fascinating history. As with its companion decks in the What Happened Here series, Washington features an address and maplet, with an arrowed target, on one side of each card. A concise and charmingly informal little essay on the opposite side tells What Happened There.With questions on one side and answers on the other, these 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards!
