The Building of a Monument: A History of the Mary Washington Associations and Their Work by Susan Riviere Hetzel is a comprehensive account of the history and achievements of the Mary Washington Associations. The book traces the evolution of the organization from its inception in 1890 to the present day, highlighting the key individuals and events that shaped its development. The Mary Washington Associations were founded with the aim of building a monument to honor George Washington's mother, Mary Ball Washington. The book delves into the challenges and obstacles faced by the organization in raising funds and gaining support for the project. It also explores the various initiatives undertaken by the Mary Washington Associations over the years, such as the establishment of a museum and research library, the preservation of historic sites, and the promotion of education and scholarship.The author draws on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and meeting minutes, to provide a detailed and engaging account of the organization's history. The book is well-researched and informative, shedding light on an important but often overlooked aspect of American history. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of philanthropy, women's organizations, or the legacy of the Washington family.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
