Description: Frederick Law Olmsted's priceless contributions to the American landscape include Central and Prospect Parks in New York City, the grounds of Stanford University in California and of the Capitol building in Washington, Boston's Back Bay Fens, and the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, to name just a few.

But Olmsted was also a man of wide-ranging talents and interests, apart from his professional credentials. In A Clearing in the Distance bestselling author Witold Rybezynski recounts in rich detail Olmsted's many other accomplishments -- from his advocacy of abolition and other social reforms to his impact as a journalist and as founder of The Nation. The result is a book that offers a panoramic view of nineteenth-century American history through the life of one of its most dynamic figures.
