"I'm a huge fan of cultural landscapes, landscape history, and Olmsted. That said, I came to this book with extremely--and perhaps unduly--high expectations. Simply put, this book was marvelous!"
"Interesting read, but dry. If I wasn't a landscape architect, I probably wouldn't have finished it. As it was I only did through fits and starts over a year. Plenty of interesting things to be learned about Olmsted, though. Well worth it for anybody interested in the founding father of landscape architecture and the architect of Central Park."
"Really enjoyed this book, great view of life in the 19th century. I was particularly interested in this as it is the biography of F.L Olmsted credited as being the Father of Landscape Architecture."
