Frederick Law Olmsted
Frederick Law Olmsted and Theodora Kimball Hubbard
Before he designed the great parks, Frederick Law Olmsted was a restless young man teaching himself to see landscape as art. These autobiographical passages trace that education, from the common fields to the first stirrings of a career that reshaped American cities. Candid and reflective, they reveal the mind behind Central Park. Meet the landscape architect before he was famous.
