Book Overview
Washington, D.C. is a city that commemorates the history of the United States; it is also quite haunted. Tour streets and visit memorials of those once dwelling or working in this political metropolis. Visit angry ghosts, Christopher and Rachel, at the Olde Stone House, their dreams foiled by death. Consider the legend of a demon cat at the Capitol Building and White House that may foretell disaster. Find lore surrounding Belle Boyd, a Confederate spy who still sings her patriotism at the Old Capitol Jail. Ghostly voices can still be heard in the hours before the sun rises over the Potomac. Spirits can still be seen in corridors of power. Listen; these stories will chill you.

Not only is Washington DC beautiful, but also it is filled with history. Rooney and Johnston really did a bang-up job in celebrating history as they told stories about the ghosts of this magnificent city. Who knew that there was a slave market in the city or that Lincoln saw his future or the inhabitants of the Old Stone House? These two tell some great stories. and I find I am learning about my country at the same time. As I can read them, I can imagine being there watching the antics of Belle Boyd as she sang her Confederate songs in the Yankee jail or in Mary Surratt's shoes as she waits for her son to rescue her. Their stories are part of us. They are part of our history. Great summer reading.
