Pioneer Trail, Cowboys, Indians and Pilgrims --continued. District of Columbia: Washington, a legacy

The District of Columbia, or Washington, the Capital of the United States, hosts tourists and protesters, legislators and bureaucrats; and features the enigmas of a nation built on specific ideals that few other nations have attempted to enshrine in their daily administrations.

Note: This video narrative and photo essay may be slightly distinguishable from the prior chapters of my blog series. It is an append to my account so far of the pioneer and frontier history of North America. It is an account that features a unique aspect of Washington DC's aura of government and symbolism.
