Summary

"Siege of Washington, D.C." written expressly for little people by F. Colburn Adams is a comical take on a crucial Civil War event, told in a way that's easy for kids to understand. It's about how Washington, D.C., had to defend itself against Confederate soldiers. The book uses humor to talk about important moments in the war and the people involved, all while trying to make a serious time in history more fun to learn about. It explains how the city was like a crazy place and tries to explain that it needed saving, almost like in old stories where animals help out. The story then lightly moves into how slavery led to the war, telling the tale with jokes to make it easier for young readers to understand what happened during this big event in American history.
