An Acquaintance with Darkness

• In 1865, Washington was a boiling pot of
  confusion and constant turmoil. It had a peculiar
  mixture of educated and uneducated African
  Americans, well-placed citizens and transients,
  captured Confederate soldiers, Confederate
  sympathizers, political power grabbers, visiting
  dignitaries, do-gooders establishing new social
  agencies, architects finishing the Capitol
  building and the Washington Monument in the midst
  pigs wandering in the muddy streets, a newly
  organized Sanitary Commission rushing to organize
  hospitals, the first women nurses in America,
  barrooms, dance halls, Willards Hotel, the
  Smithsonian Institution, as well as people in the
  vanguard of our changing culture establishing
  museums, theatres, and art galleries.
• It also had John Wilkes Booth.

WHAT IF

  from Ann Rinaldis book, An acquaintance with
