520 _a"History of the Washington National Monument and of the Washington National Monument Society" by Frederick L. Harvey is an historical account written in the early 20th century. The book primarily narrates the origins, establishment, and ongoing efforts of the Washington National Monument Society to construct a significant monument dedicated to George Washington in the nation's capital. It delves into the various resolutions and legislative actions taken—or often neglected—by Congress throughout the years concerning the memorialization of America's first president. The opening of the work introduces the historical context of the Washington National Monument, detailing the initial resolutions made by Congress in the 18th century for a monument to honor Washington, and the subsequent failure to bring these plans to fruition. It outlines the formation of the Washington National Monument Society in 1833 due to persistent inactivity in Congress and highlights key figures, such as John Marshall, who played a vital role in advocating for the monument's construction. The text sets the stage for a deep exploration into the complexities of bureaucratic challenges, national sentiments, and the continuous struggle to realize a memorial worthy of Washington, illustrating a significant chapter in American history.
