Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) was an American landscape architect, journalist, social critic, and public administrator. Considered the nation’s foremost landscape architect, he is best known for designing New York City’s Central Park. Before that, he was a correspondent for the New York Times, and it was under its auspices that he journeyed through the slave states in the 1850s. His day-by-day observations were collected in The Cotton Kingdom, published in 1861 to great acclaim. |
