The Years of Olmsted, Vaux & Co., 1865–1874

By Frederick Law Olmsted

Johns Hopkins University Press

The Years of Olmsted, Vaux & Company, 1865-1874 documents one of the most productive periods of Olmsted's career. During these years he and Vaux created their classic design for Prospect Park in Brooklyn, drew up plans for Riverside and Morningside parks in Manhattan, and designed Chicago's South Park. Its rich assortment of documents will be of interest to historians, landscape architects, urban planners, and anyone concerned with the roots of modern America.

The Olmsted Papers project is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, and is sponsored by The American University.

Reviews

"Olmsted the man belongs to his own time, but his work and words continue to have meaning today... The editors are preserving a life and a work instructive for the future as well as of the past."

"An important publication that illuminates the tumultuous decade that followed the end of the Civil War... it maintains the high standards of scholarship established in previous volumes and will be of use to scholars in various fields of historic inquiry."
