The Architects: Frederick Law Olmsted

Rate this book
In the summer of 1857, when Frederick Law Olmsted was asked if he would be interested in the "superintendency" of Central Park, he was thirty-five and had worked as a surveyor, a bookkeeper, seaman, farmer, publisher, author of travel books, and social commentator. It was the unique combination of these skills that made him the perfect man for the job. Here, in this short-form book by National Book Award nominee Joseph Kastner, is the remarkable story of the father of landscape architecture in the United States.
