A Preview

"Georgetown University. Look at that building — Healy Hall. Three hundred and twelve feet long. A clock tower two hundred feet tall. Named after the man who built it and nearly killed himself doing it. Patrick Francis Healy became president of Georgetown in eighteen seventy-three. He was the son of an Irish immigrant planter in Georgia and an enslaved woman named Eliza Clark."
