Charles Beveridge has been researching and writing about the Olmsted legacy for over 50 years. He co-wrote (with Paul Rocheleau) the 1995 book “Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing the American Landscape.” This features the most prominent of the Olmsted projects and is richly illustrated, and includes a chapter highlighting the Seattle park system.
