To support his plea, Banneker included within his letter a handwritten manuscript of an almanac for 1792 containing his ephemeris with his astronomical calculations. He retained handwritten copies of the letter and Jefferson's August 30, 1791, reply in a volume of manuscripts that became part of a journal.<a href="#cite_note-106">[106]</a> In late 1792, James Angell published a Baltimore edition of Banneker's 1793 almanac that contained copies of Banneker's letter and Jefferson's reply.<a href="#cite_note-107">[107]</a> Soon afterwards, a Philadelphia printer distributed two sequential editions of a widely circulated pamphlet that also contained the letter and reply.<a href="#cite_note-108">[108]</a> The Universal Asylum, and Columbian Magazine also published Banneker's letter and Jefferson's reply in Philadelphia in late 1792.<a href="#cite_note-Asylum-109">[109]</a> The Magazine's editors (A Society of Gentlemen) titled the letter as being "from the famous self-taught astronomer, Benjamin Banneker, a black man".<a href="#cite_note-Asylum-109">[109]</a> In his letter, Banneker accused Jefferson of criminally using fraud and violence to oppress his slaves by stating: <blockquote> .... Sir, how pitiable is it to reflect, that altho you were so fully convinced of the benevolence of the Father of mankind, and of his equal and impartial distribution of those rights and privileges which he had conferred upon them, that you should at the same time counteract his mercies, in detaining by fraud and violence so numerous a part of my brethren under groaning captivity and cruel oppression, that you should at the Same time be found guilty of that most criminal act, which you professedly detested in others, with respect to your Selves.<a href="#cite_note-Cullen-104">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-110">[110]</a></blockquote> The letter ended: <blockquote> And now Sir, I Shall conclude and Subscribe my Self with the most profound respect, Your most Obedient humble Servant Benjamin Banneker<a href="#cite_note-Cullen-104">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[111]</a></blockquote> Jefferson's reply did not directly respond to Banneker's accusations, but instead expressed his support for the advancement of his "black brethren". His reply, which writers have characterized as "courteous", "polite", "ambivalent", "ambiguous", "evasive", "tepid" and "noncommittal",<a href="#cite_note-112">[112]</a> stated: <blockquote>Philadelphia Aug. 30. 1791.

Retrieved March 27, 2019 – via <a href="/wiki/Google_Books" title="Google Books">Google Books</a>. <q>Recent biographical accounts of Benjamin Banneker (1731–1806), a mulatto whose father was a native African and whose grandmother was English, have done his memory a disservice by obscuring his real achievements under a cloud of extravagant claims to scientific accomplishment that have no foundation in fact. The single notable exception is Silvio A. Bedini's The Life of Benjamin Banneker (New York, 1972), a work of painstaking research and scrupulous attention to accuracy which also benefits from the author's discovery of important and hitherto unavailable manuscript sources. However, as Bedini points out, the story of Banneker's involvement in the survey of the Federal District "rests on extremely meager documentation" (p. 104). This consists of a single mention by TJ, two brief statements by Banneker himself, and the newspaper allusion quoted above. In consequence, Bedini's otherwise reliable biography accepts the version of Banneker's role in this episode as presented in reminiscences of nineteenth-century authors. These recollections, deriving in large part from members of the Ellicott family, who were prompted by Quaker inclinations to justice and equality, have compounded the confusion. The nature of TJ's connection with Banneker is treated in the Editorial Note to the group of documents under 30 Aug. 1791, but because of the obscured record it is necessary here to attempt a clarification of the role of this modest, self-taught tobacco farmer in the laying out of the national capital. First of all, because of unwarranted claims to the contrary, it must be pointed out that there is no evidence whatever that Banneker had anything to do with the survey of the Federal City or indeed with the final establishment of the boundaries of the Federal District. All available testimony shows that he was present only during the few weeks early in 1791 when the rough preliminary survey of the ten mile square was made; that, after this was concluded and before the final survey was begun, he returned to his farm and his astronomical studies in April, accompanying Ellicott part way on his brief journey back to Philadelphia; and that thenceforth he had no connection with the mapping of the seat of government. ... In any case, Banneker's participation in the surveying of the Federal District was unquestionably brief and his role uncertain.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=bookitem&rft.atitle=Locating+the+Federal+District%3A+Editorial+Note%3A+Footnote+number+119&rft.btitle=The+Papers+of+Thomas+Jefferson%3A+24+January%E2%80%9331+March+1791&rft.place=Princeton%2C+New+Jersey&rft.pages=41-43&rft.pub=Princeton+University+Press&rft.date=1974&rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F1045069058&rft_id=info%3Alccn%2F50007486&rft.isbn=9780691185255&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3Dr_5ZDwAAQBAJ%26pg%3DPA41&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988"> (7) <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFMartel1994" class="citation news cs1">Martel, Erich (February 20, 1994). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1994/02/20/the-egyptian-illusion/ee123656-ca7f-4ef7-8f28-99d7edd166ba/">"The Egyptian Illusion"</a>.

Let's hope not. Benjamin Banneker performed astronomical observations in 1791 when assisting Maj. Andrew Ellicott in a survey of the federal District's boundaries. He departed three months after the survey began, more than a year before its completion. Meanwhile, a "Plan for the City of Washington" was drawn by one "Peter Charles L'Enfant" (sic). When George Washington chose to dismiss L'Enfant, it was Ellicott who revised L'Enfant's plan and completed the city's mapping. Banneker played no part in this.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=OP%2FED%3A+Letters+to+the+Editor&rft.atitle=District+History+Lesson&rft.pages=A.22&rft.date=2000-05-20&rft.aulast=Berne&rft.aufirst=Bernard+H.&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fpqasb.pqarchiver.com%2Fwashingtonpost%2Faccess%2F53933685.html%3FFMT%3DCITE%26FMTS%3DCITE%3AFT%26date%3DMay%2B20%252C%2B2000%26author%3D%26desc%3DDistrict%2BHistory%2BLesson&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988"> (13) <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFMurdock2002" class="citation book cs1">Murdock, Gail T.

Many state, for example, that Banneker's clock was an exact copy of one he saw, which is not true – he figured out the mathematics and physics on his own for a clock made out of wood, instead of trying simply to copy the small pocket watch that he was lent to observe. However remarkable this clock was, it was not the first clock made in America.

According to the story, Banneker, having seen the original design for the city only once, re-created it in detail after L'Enfant returned to France with the original plans. This legend has led some people to credit Banneker with a greater role in creating the capital city. However, there is no evidence that Banneker contributed anything to the design of the city or that he ever met L'Enfant. Modern historians acknowledge that the inaccurate information—the myths surrounding Banneker—resulted in his contributions to the city being overvalued. Unfortunately, those myths sometimes obscure Banneker's greatest contribution to society—the almanacs that he would publish in his later years.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=bookitem&rft.atitle=An+Important+Task&rft.btitle=Benjamin+Banneker%3A+American+Scientific+Pioneer&rft.place=Minneapolis%2C+Minnesota&rft.pages=76-77&rft.pub=Compass+Point+Books&rft.date=2006&rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F61864300&rft_id=info%3Alccn%2F2005028708&rft.isbn=0756515793&rft.aulast=Weatherly&rft.aufirst=Myra&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DI9iwiT_k4WoC%26pg%3DPA76&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988">.

The plans for the large city were laid out by French architect and engineer Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who volunteered for service in the American Revolution's Continental Army and was hired for the project by George Washington in 1791. Before long, however, tensions mounted over its direction and progress of the project, and when L'Enfant was fired in 1792, he took off with the plans in tow. But according to legend, the plans weren't actually lost: Banneker and the Ellicotts had worked closely with L'Enfant and his plans while surveying the city's site. As the University of Massachusetts explains, Banneker had actually committed the plans to memory "[and] was able to reproduce the complete layout—streets, parks, major buildings." However, the University of Massachusetts also points out that other historians doubt Banneker had any involvement in this part of the survey at all, instead saying that Andrew and his brother were the ones who recreated L'Enfant's plan. It's an intriguing myth, but it may only be that.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=International+Times&rft.atitle=Benjamin+Banneker&rft.date=2018-05-23&rft.aulast=Burns&rft.aufirst=Janet&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Finternationaltimes.it%2Fbenjamin-banneker%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988"> (28) <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBiography.com_Editors2019" class="citation web cs1">Biography.com Editors (April 12, 2019). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.biography.com/scientist/benjamin-banneker">"Benjamin Banneker Biography"</a>.

But L'Enfant didn't exactly carry out his vision alone: He was dismissed from the job in 1792—and he reportedly took his layout with him. That's when Benjamin Banneker, a free black man who had surveyed the capital and helped establish its boundary points, stepped in.

When L'Enfant left the project, he took all the designs with him, leaving the project in disarray. Unsure of how to proceed, Ellicott and the other planners feared they might have to start from scratch. According to writer Gaius Chamberlain, "Banneker surprised them when he asserted that he could reproduce the plans from memory and in two days did exactly as he had promised." There has been much controversy over the years about whether such an event actually happened. Some historians claim that many of the facts about Banneker's life were embellished or mythologized, leaving the fact that he was able to reimagine L'Enfant's plans in dispute. Others have theorized that it was Andrew Ellicott's brother Benjamin who aided in redrawing the plans from memory, theorizing that he was confused with Banneker because they shared the same first name.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=Boundary+Stones%3A+WETA%27s+History+Blog&rft.atitle=Benjamin+Banneker%27s+Capital+Contributions&rft.date=2016-02-08&rft.aulast=Brownell&rft.aufirst=Richard+%28updated+December+17%2C+2020%29&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fboundarystones.weta.org%2F2016%2F02%2F08%2Fbenjamin-bannekers-capital-contributions&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988"><code class="cs1-code">{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Cite_web" title="Template:Cite web">cite web</a>}}</code>: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (<a href="/wiki/Category:CS1_maint:_multiple_names:_authors_list" title="Category:CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list">link</a>) CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (<a href="/wiki/Category:CS1_maint:_numeric_names:_authors_list" title="Category:CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list">link</a>) (32) <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFFowler2021" class="citation web cs1">Fowler, Jermaine (2021). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.thehumanityarchive.com/transcripts/benjamin-banneker">"Podcast #7: Benjamin Banneker (transcript)"</a>.

And I was troubled to find out that with no real evidence legend has it that Benjamin, Banneker single handedly laid out in, develop the plans for Washington DC himself with no help. And this is the popular narrative in a lot of circles. And even in the mainstream media, the Washington Post published the story citing this is fact, and this is part of his mythology and it's probably untrue, but it made me wonder, like, why do people embellish history? Why would someone take a man like Banneker with the real moral and professional greatness, and then exaggerate a story with things uncertain. Why do we embellish historical figures in general? Maybe in this case, there is something to prove black people have latched onto the great figures to prove competence and to prove value. Maybe it really was thought to be the truth.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=The+Humanity+Archive&rft.atitle=Podcast+%237%3A+Benjamin+Banneker+%28transcript%29&rft.date=2021&rft.aulast=Fowler&rft.aufirst=Jermaine&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thehumanityarchive.com%2Ftranscripts%2Fbenjamin-banneker&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-Bedini2008-3">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Bedini2008_3-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Bedini2008_3-1">b</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Bedini2008_3-2">c</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Bedini2008_3-3">d</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Bedini2008_3-4">e</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.encyclopedia.com/people/science-and-technology/mathematics-biographies/benjamin-banneker">"Benjamin Banneker | Encyclopedia.com"</a>. www.encyclopedia.com.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=www.encyclopedia.com&rft.atitle=Benjamin+Banneker+%26%23124%3B+Encyclopedia.com&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.encyclopedia.com%2Fpeople%2Fscience-and-technology%2Fmathematics-biographies%2Fbenjamin-banneker&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-Heinegg-4">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Heinegg_4-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Heinegg_4-1">b</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Heinegg_4-2">c</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFHeinegg2016" class="citation web cs1">Heinegg, Paul (December 11, 2016). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170624200755/http://freeafricanamericans.com/Adams-Butler.htm">"Banneker Family"</a>.

"Benjamin Banneker, free black, farmer, mathematician, and astronomer, was born on November 9, 1731, the son of freed slaves Robert and Mary Bannaky, probably near the Patapsco River southeast of Baltimore, Maryland, where his father owned a small farm. For some years, Benjamin seems to have served as an indentured laborer on the Prince George’s County plantation of Mary Welsh, who had dealings with the Bannaky family and in 1773 executed her dead husband’s instructions to release several of her labor force including “Negro Ben, born free age 43.” Walsh was surely not Banneker’s grandmother, as argued by many biographers, but she did leave him a substantial legacy.

BENJAMIN BANNEKER, a free black, is about fifty-nine years of age; he was born in Baltimore county; his father was an African, and his mother the offspring of African parents. – His father and mother having obtained their freedom, were enabled to send him to an obscure school, where he learned, when a boy, reading, writing, and arithmetic as far as double position; and to leave him, at their deaths, a few acres of land, upon which he has supported himself ever since by means of economy and constant labour, and preserved a fair reputation. To struggle incessantly against want is no ways favourable to improvement: what he had learned, however, he did not forget; for as some hours of leisure will occur in the most toilsome life, he availed himself of these, not to read and acquire knowledge from writings of genius and discovery, for of such he had none, but to digest and apply, as occasions presented, the few principles of the few rules of arithmetic he had been taught at school. This kind of mental exercise formed his chief amusement, and soon gave him a facility in calculation that was often serviceable to his neighbours, and at length attracted the attention of the Messrs. Ellicott, a family remarkable for their ingenuity and turn to the useful mechanics. It is about three years since Mr. George Ellicott lent him Mayer's Tables, Ferguson's Astronomy, Leadbeater's Lunar Tables, and some astronomic instruments, but without accompanying them with either hint or instruction, that might further his studies, or lead him to apply them to any useful result. These books and instruments, the first of the kind he had ever seen, opened a new world to Benjamin, and from thenceforward he employed his leisure in astronomical researches. He now took up the idea of the calculations for an Almanack, and actually completed an entire set for the last year, upon his original stock of arithmetic. Encouraged by this first attempt, he entered upon his calculation for 1792, which, as well as the former, he began and finished without the least information of assistance from any person, or other books than those I have mentioned; so that whatever merit is attached to his present performance, is exclusively and peculiarly his own.

Jefferson first acquired the letter-copying device he called "the finest invention of the present age" in March of 1804. Invented and named by Englishman <a href="/wiki/John_Isaac_Hawkins" title="John Isaac Hawkins">John Isaac Hawkins</a>, the polygraph used the principles of the pantograph, a draftsman's tool for reducing and enlarging drawings. The writer's hand moves one pen whose action is duplicated by the second one, producing a copy strikingly like the original. Before he returned to England in 1803, Hawkins assigned his American patent rights to <a href="/wiki/Charles_Willson_Peale" title="Charles Willson Peale">Charles Willson Peale</a>, who developed and marketed the invention. Jefferson was one of his most eager clients, purchasing one for the President's House and one for Monticello. He soon exchanged these machines for new ones, as Peale continued to perfect the design — often according to Jefferson's suggestions. By 1809 Jefferson wrote that "the use of the polygraph has spoiled me for the old copying press the copies of which are hardly ever legible . . . . I could not, now therefore, live without the Polygraph."</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=Polygraph&rft.place=Charlottesville%2C+Virginia&rft.pub=Th%3A+Jefferson%27s+Monticello&rft.au=Thomas+Jefferson&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.monticello.org%2Fsite%2Fresearch-and-collections%2Fpolygraph&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988"> (3) <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFJefferson1809" class="citation web cs1">Jefferson, Thomas (January 15, 1809). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.loc.gov/resource/mtj1.043_0269_0270/">"Thomas Jefferson to Charles Willson Peale, January 15, 1809"</a> (1 <a href="/wiki/Digitization" title="Digitization">digitized</a> image).

On his instruction, the astronomical journal and some other loose manuscripts were removed upon his death and left to George Ellicott (1760–1832). The journal stayed in the hands of the Ellicott family until 1844 when it was deposited here at MdHS, where it was used by John H.B. Latrobe the following year. Quaker philanthropist and MdHS member <a href="/wiki/Moses_Sheppard" title="Moses Sheppard">Moses Sheppard</a> (1771–1857) had the book rebound in Russian leather in 1852, and at this date most likely combined the astronomical journal with some of Banneker's loose manuscripts as well as a day book. At some unknown date the astronomical journal left MdHS and returned to the hands of the Ellicott family. It stayed there, away from the public's eye until 1987 when Ellicott family descendant Dorothea West Fitzhugh donated it in honor of her late husband Robert Tyson Fitzhugh. In 1999 MdHS sent the journal to the Center for Conservation in Philadelphia where it was rebound, deacidified, and given full conservation treatment.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=H.+Furlong+Baldwin+Library%3A+Underbelly&rft.atitle=The+Dreams+of+Benjamin+Banneker&rft.date=2014-02-06&rft.au=Maryland+Historical+Society+Library+Department&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mdhistory.org%2Fthe-dreams-of-benjamin-banneker%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988"> (2) <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://m60006.eos-intl.net/M60006/OPAC/Details/Record.aspx?SearchType=1&BibCode=MM60006%7C9682055%7C15%7C9318734">"Banneker Astronomical Journal, 1781; 1790–1802; 1806"</a>. <a href="/wiki/Maryland_Center_for_History_and_Culture#Library" title="Maryland Center for History and Culture">H.

Retrieved December 26, 2017. <q>A selection of rare items used by Benjamin Banneker, noted black American scientist, is to be auctioned early next month, but organizers of the planned Banneker museum and park in Baltimore County hope to raise money to buy the artifacts first. The items – which include a William and Mary drop-leaf table, candlesticks and molds, and several documents – are scheduled to be put on the block at Sloane's Auction House in Bethesda. Jean Walsh, a member of the Friends of Benjamin Banneker Historical Park, said the items had been in the possession of a descendant of George Ellicott, who at age 17 befriended the much older Banneker – known as "the first black man of science." "George was interested in astronomy, and he loaned a number of things to Banneker, including the table and several books," Walsh said.... Groundbreaking is planned for September for the long-awaited Benjamin Banneker Historical Park and Museum in Oella, and Walsh and other supporters would like to exhibit the items there. Gwen Marable, president of the organization, said an attempt had been made to persuade the owner, Elizabeth Wilde of Indianapolis, to donate or sell some of the artifacts to the museum. "We want to spearhead an effort to keep these things here in Maryland," said Marable, a descendant of one of Banneker's three sisters. Samuel Hopkins – a descendant of the Ellicott family, who were mill owners and co-founders of Ellicott City – said he encouraged Wilde to turn the artifacts over to the museum. "I spoke to her some time ago and told her I thought it would be fine if she gave some of the stuff to the museum," Hopkins said. "I suggested to her that, if she did not give it to the society, that she might let the society make copies of the documents for display." Patrick O'Neill, who is helping to arrange the auction for Sloane's, said the items are being appraised. Appraisal of historic pieces can be difficult, though officials expect the table to sell for $10,000 to $30,000. .... According to Silvio A. Bedini, author of The Life of Benjamin Banneker, the scientist instructed his nephews to return the table and books to the Ellicott family and give them some of his effects. The day of his funeral in 1806, Banneker's log cabin burned to the ground. It is on that site where the museum and park are to be built. Bedini said the artifacts are especially valuable because they are among the few remaining privately owned Banneker items.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=The+Baltimore+Sun&rft.atitle=18th-century+Banneker+items+to+be+auctioned%3A+Museum+organizers+hope+to+buy+rare+artifacts&rft.date=1996-08-01&rft.aulast=Respers&rft.aufirst=Lisa&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.baltimoresun.com%2F1996%2F08%2F01%2F18th-century-banneker-items-to-be-auctioned-museum-organizers-hope-to-buy-rare-artifacts%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988">.

According to the story, Banneker, having seen the original design for the city only once, re-created it in detail after L'Enfant returned to France with the original plans. This legend has led some people to credit Banneker with a greater role in creating the capital city. However, there is no evidence that Banneker contributed anything to the design of the city or that he ever met L'Enfant. Modern historians acknowledge that the inaccurate information—the myths surrounding Banneker—resulted in his contributions to the city being overvalued. Unfortunately, those myths sometimes obscure Banneker's greatest contribution to society—the almanacs that he would publish in his later years.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=bookitem&rft.atitle=An+Important+Task&rft.btitle=Benjamin+Banneker%3A+American+Scientific+Pioneer&rft.place=Minneapolis%2C+Minnesota&rft.pages=76-77&rft.pub=Compass+Point+Books&rft.date=2006&rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F61864300&rft_id=info%3Alccn%2F2005028708&rft.isbn=0756515793&rft.aulast=Weatherly&rft.aufirst=Myra&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DI9iwiT_k4WoC%26pg%3DPA76&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ABenjamin+Banneker" class="Z3988">.
