It was to perch above his tomb at the heart of the U.S. Capitol and thus provide a moral compass for the continent, a hub toward which all eyes would turn for guidance from his great example of self-abnegation and leadership.

This book narrates the monument's journey from its hallowed site at the center of the US Capitol's dome, to a distant park, to a handful of other locations, and finally to the Smithsonian Institution"--
