The Washington Monument

Marie Roesser

"The Washington Monument is one of the most recognizable of the iconic structures on the National Mall at a towering 555 feet (169 meters). But how did this obelisk, the tallest stone structure in the world, come to be? And why was it chosen to honor the first U.S. president? Budding historians will learn the answers to these questions and find out more about the history of the monument and the man behind it in this book, aligned with elementary social studies curricula. Text is written at an achievable level and paired with attractive and informative photographs and images"--
