About the author
Frederick Law Olmsted
1822–1903
Best known for helping shape Central Park, he changed how Americans think about public space, scenery, and city life. Before becoming a landscape architect, he was also a writer and social critic, which gave his parks a strong sense of purpose as well as beauty.
