The full and definitive biography of Frederick Law Olmsted, influential abolitionist, ardent social reformer and conservationist, and the visionary designer of Central ParkFrederick Law Olmsted is arguably the most important historical figure that the average American knows the least about. Best remembered for his landscape architecture, from New Yorks Central Park to Bostons Emerald Necklace to Stanford Universitys 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. This momentous career was shadowed by a tragic personal life, also fully portrayed here.Most of all, he was a social reformer. He didnt simply create places that were beautiful in the abstract. An awesome and timeless intent stands behind Olmsteds designs, allowing his work to survive to the present day. With our urgent need to revitalize cities and a widespread yearning for green space, his work is more relevant now than it was during his lifetime. Justin Martin restores Olmsted to his rightful place in the pantheon of great Americans. Review The remarkable story of Americas first, and still foremost, landscape architect...Martin helps explain the driven, artistic temperament that informed the famed landscapes. He persuasively casts Olmsted as essentially a social reformer whose passion for meaningful work found its most complete expression in the creation of public spaces intended for the enjoyment of all. A revealing look at a still-underappreciated giant whose work touches posterity more intimately and more delightfully than many of his distinguished Civil War-era contemporaries. Kirkus Reviews[A] wide-ranging, surprisingly revealing biography...Martin brings the Hartford-born Olmsted to life...An eye-opening, much-needed biography of a man whose work continues to inspire...An illuminating, sorely-needed biography. Boston GlobeMartin does an excellent job of tracing the development of this multitalented genius and-by the books end-makes a powerful case for Olmsted as a reformer who not only created some of the worlds most beautiful parkland but also helped to shape our lives and public spaces as we know them today. Christian Science Monitor A full-scale biography. Niagara Gazette[A] straightforward and enjoyable book...Reading this book, you get a full picture of the man, a man frustratingly immature and coddled for so many years, a man struck by personal tragedies...and ultimately a man whose achievements warrant a full-length biography. The Daily GreenMartin is good at shedding light on the less familiar aspects of Olmsteds life. Having written biographies of Alan Greenspan and Ralph Nader, he seems to know his way around rather remote personalities...Engaging. Wall Street JournalA comprehensive journal of Frederick Law Olmsteds life written with great precision and exhaustive historical specifications; but these elements do not get in the way of a well-told tale...Highly recommended. New York Journal of BooksA workmanlike biography; it adequately examines the balance between Olmsteds public and private personae. Library Journal[An] ardent biography...Olmsteds sense of adventure compelled him to embark upon a turbulent stretch as a sailor, which Martin renders as thrillingly as any maritime tale...Martin presents Olmsteds era in all its glory, with the intimate affairs and staggering accomplishments of the great man unfolding against the vivid backdrop of 19th-century America. Publishers WeeklyOlmsted led one of the most productive and influential lives in American history, yet owing to the diffusiveness of his early ventures and the nature of his principal legacy, landscape architecture, he has never attained the name recognition of some of his more singularly focused peers. Justin Martins engaging new biography will help to
