American Nights' Entertainments is a book compiled by Talbot Greene, which was originally titled A Winter in the Federal City. The book is a collection of pencilings, or sketches, written by an anonymous United States Senator. The sketches depict the nightlife and social scene in Washington D.C. during the winter of 1860. The book provides a glimpse into the lives of the political elite, as well as the social customs and norms of the time. The sketches cover a range of topics, from political events and speeches to social gatherings and parties. The book is a fascinating look into the history and culture of America during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
