		On this historic Tuesday, March 29, 1791, President George Washington and 36-year-old Major Pierre Charles L’Enfant ride their horses through the uneven Maryland countryside to inspect the site that will become the nation’s capital.
		In lengthy conversations with the President, the visionary L’Enfant is encouraged to plunge ahead on a "grand pland of the whol city." That grand plan would be revised several times by L’Enfant, who has been given an exceedingly broad canvas—all the time remaining under Washington’s watchful eye.
		"L’Enfant is a tragic hero," says architectural historian Pamela Scott, "a man of genius with overriding character faults that meant he was never able to achieve his potential.

		L'Enfant planned for two series of broad avenues, named for the states, that would converge into circular intersections, which were intended to complete long vistas and give direction and character to the city.
		Although L'Enfant's design became the basis for landsales, construction and planning, President Washington fired him a year after he was hired because, according to Encyclopedia Americana, L'Enfant "forged ahead regardless of his orders, the budget, or landowners with prior claims."
		In 1791 Andrew Ellicott, who took over L'Enfant's position in 1792 when he was fired, asked Banneker, then 60, to help him survey the area for the national capital - a fact historians, authors, encyclopedias and diversity council members agree on.

	H-Net Review: Christopher H. Sterling on Peter Charles L'Enfant: Vision, Honor, and Male Friendship in the Early American Republic
		This new study of Peter/Pierre L'Enfant (1754-1825) began when Bowling wondered why the French emigre used an American first name when he purchased a Washington lot in 1791--indeed, why he had used it when he first came to the rebelling colonies in 1777.
		L'Enfant was recommended to Washington by Alexander Hamilton (a friend from Revolutionary War days) as perhaps the best person to design a federal city on the Potomac location chosen by Washington in 1791.
		With the death of Washington in 1799, L'Enfant began a long series of petitions to Congress to be paid for his work in designing the city.

	"Not in Our Front Yard" by Paul Goldberger
		In 1739, the French architect Pierre I Charles L'Enfant wrote to George Washington, offering to design the new capital for "this vast empire," as he called the United States.
		L'Enfant didn't figure on the fact that if he gave the nation a front yard someone would eventually want to take over the center of it.
		It's the counterpoint between the vast, formal spaces and the monuments, which express a degree of plain emotion that would be considered unseemly in most other capitals.
