Excerpt from Historical and Commercial Sketches of Washington and Environs, Our Capital City, "the Paris of America" Its Prominent Places and People, Leading Merchants, Manufacturers, Artisans and Professional Men; Its Improvements, Progress and Enterprise Owing to the difficulties experienced by Congress, as brie y set forth above, as well as for the purpose of determining on a fixed seat of government, Congress, on the 4th of June, 1783, resolved that copies of the act of the Legislature of Mary land offering Annapolis, and of New York offering Kingston, for the permanent use of Congress, be transmitted to the executives of the respective States, and they be informed that Congress had set the first Monday of October next for taking said offers into consideration. Consequently, on the 6th of October, 1783, Congress proceeded to consider the propositions of the several States, from New York to Virginia, inclusive, respect ing a place for the permanent residence of Congress, and then there began a struggle such as had never before been witnessed in the American Congress, and which continued for seven years.

Christian Heurich (1842-1945) was not only Washington D.C.'s most successful brewer, he was the world's oldest, with 90 years' experience. He walked across central Europe learning his craft, survived a shipboard cholera epidemic, recovered from malaria and worked as a roustabout on a Caribbean banana boat--all by age 30. Heurich lived most of his life in Washington, becoming its largest private landowner and opening the city's largest brewery. He won a "beer war" against his rivals and his beers won medals at World's Fairs. He was trapped in Europe while on vacation at the start of both World Wars, once sleeping through an air raid, and was accused of being a German spy plotting to assassinate Woodrow Wilson. A notably odd episode: when they began to tear down his old brewery to build the Kennedy Center, the wrecking ball bounced off the walls. Drawing on family papers and photos, the author chronicles Heurich's life and the evolving beer industry before and after Prohibition.
