The Life of Frederick Law Olmsted

Monday, December 17, 2012

Justin Martin argues that Frederick Law Olmsted is probably the most important historical figure that the average American knows the least about. Best remembered for his landscape architecture, from New York's Central Park to Boston's Emerald Necklace to Stanford University's campus, Olmsted was also an influential journalist, early voice for the environment, and abolitionist credited with helping dissuade England from joining the South in the Civil War. Martin discusses Olmstead’s life and work in Genius of Place: The Life of Frederick Law Olmsted.
