Description:
Chronicles the life and career of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, and the effect his ideas had on American culture.
Selected Reviews:
"[Olmsted] has been well served by his biographer...who has overall presented a varied portrait of the man and the artist and also created a fairly rich diorama of Olmsted's times."
--Reamy Jansen, Bloomsbury Review
