(American Legends)","description":"A carving of General Lee on the back of the Lincoln monument, the birth of lobbying at the Willard Hotel, a romantic gesture that built the distinctive homes of Capitol Hill--these are legends of Washington, D.C. The capital is home to all manner of colorful rumors and tall tales. According to local lore, the missing J Street was L'Enfant's snub to Supreme Court justice John Jay, and the course of history could have been changed if only a young baseball player named Fidel Castro had accepted a contract with the Washington Senators. In search of the truth behind these legends and more, local guide and writer Robert S. Pohl takes readers on a tour of the historic lore and urban legends that surround the monuments, neighborhood streets and even the Metro stations of Washington, D.C.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1626191964\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1626191964.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pohl, Robert S.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43298213462077,"sku":"BVV.1626191964.VG","price":15.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1626191964-0.jpg?v=1782508488","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/urban-legends-historic-lore-of-washington-d-c-american-legends","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
