What an incredible book on such an amazing person. I loved reading about Frederick Law Olmsted's life and the times in which he lived. The book makes me want to visit places I never felt drawn to, just to be able to see his marvelous creations. He was multi-talented and when he finally settle down on one career, it was mostly because of demand. The book doesn't shy away from his shortcomings, either, which in turn don't diminish his greatness in the least. Such a fascinating book. [496 pp. including notes, index, and appendix]
