About This Book
A guided series of short, illustrated vignettes introduces the city to newcomers, moving from everyday streets to civic monuments and old residences. It sketches O Street and downtown life, describes the large seated Lincoln statue on the capitol grounds, and profiles early mansions such as the Butler and Kennard houses alongside anecdotes about the capital’s relocation. Interwoven are portraits of notable local figures, observations on architectural change, civic memory, and small-town character, and lighter landmarks like the official covered-wagon milestone, together presenting a conversational tour of municipal history and landscape.
