Epigraph

Dedication

To Jason Bradwell, born under Home Rule

First words

From his weed-covered perch atop Capitol Hill, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, the Capitol's fifth architect, peered down the one-mile swath of rutted, dirt thoroughfare and espied the tragic figure shambling through the poplars President Thomas Jefferson had ordered planted along Pennsylvania Avenue.
