The Tour will cover the Civil War Era-related stories in Ed Moser’s book, “The White House's Unruly Neighborhood.” Chronicling the sometimes outlandish, often tragic history of the environs of the White House, the guides will discuss assassinations, escapes of enslaved persons, deadly duels, sex scandals, battles, brawls, and spy intrigues that took place in the presidential neighborhood, Lafayette Square. They will recount the triumphs and catastrophes of heroes and villains both famous and unsung, placing them in the context of contemporary world events of the day. Ed’s books will be available for purchase and signing.
