Leupp is a descriptive account written in the early 20th century. The work offers a personal and informal exploration of the city of Washington D.C., aiming to provide readers with a stroll through its streets while sharing historical anecdotes and observations. The author aims to engage readers in a friendly conversation about the city, touching upon its development and notable incidents across its history. The opening of the book sets the stage for this journey through Washington, describing the city's creation as a deliberate choice for a national capital. The narrative highlights the political tensions surrounding the selection of its location and the early days of its establishment when it was little more than a muddy, disheveled town. Drawing from personal observations and local traditions, Leupp paints a vivid picture of Washington's formative years, illustrating the challenges it faced in evolving from a rough settlement into a significant capital.
