The Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted - Defending the Union: The Civil War and the U.S. Sanitary Commission, 1861-1863 Volume 4

The Years of Olmsted, Vaux & Company, 1865-1874 documents one of the most productive periods of Olmsted's career.

Its rich assortment of documents will be of interest to historians, landscape architects, urban planners, and anyone concerned with the roots of modern America.
