Alexandria, Virginia, has been witness to events which helped
create America. Many of the nation’s founding fathers and
wellknown historical figures, including George Washington and
Robert E. Lee, lived in, worked in, and were a part of what began
as a modest tobacco trading town and seaport. With a selection of
fine historic images from their best-selling book, Historic Photos
of Alexandria, Julie Ballin Patton and Rita Williams Holtz provide
a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the growth and
development of Alexandria. Remembering Alexandria depicts this
colorful history through photos selected from the Library of
Congress and the Local History–Special Collections branch of the
Alexandria Library. From the occupation of Alexandria by Union
troops during the Civil War to the thriving downtown of the 1940s
and 1950s, Remembering Alexandria follows life and events
throughout the city’s history.
