The White House

Capitol Hill, Washington DC

A Preview

"Sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. The White House. Lincoln lived here for four years, led a war from the second floor, and — if you believe the staff — never left. The morning of April fourteenth — the day he was shot — Lincoln told his cabinet something strange. He described a recurring dream. In it, he was sailing across unknown waters at great speed in an indistinct vessel."
