Maryland Life: How DC Snagged Some Prime Prince George’s Real Estate

I was pleased to have an article published in the Sept/Oct. issue of Maryland Life.  Tmap district of columbia 415itled “Land Grab:  How DC snagged some prime Prince George’s real estate,” it examined the period when the nation was  concerned with establishing a permanent home for the federal government on the Potomac River.  It was a fun piece to put together and I had the pleasure of using the excellent research facilities of the Prince George’s County Historical Society.  They have  an able, helpful staff there and it was a pleasure to work with the volunteers and their collections.
