L'Enfant and Washington, 1791-1792 is a historical book written by Elizabeth S. Kite. The book is a collection of published and unpublished documents that have been brought together for the first time. The documents describe the relationship between Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French-American architect, and George Washington, the first President of the United States. The book covers the period from 1791 to 1792, during which L'Enfant was commissioned by Washington to design the layout of the new federal city, which would later become Washington D.C. The documents provide a detailed account of the complex and often contentious relationship between the two men, and shed light on the challenges faced by L'Enfant in designing a city that would reflect the values and aspirations of the young nation. The book is a valuable resource for historians, architects, and anyone interested in the early history of the United States.Additional Contributor Is Thomas Jefferson.
