About The Book
Robert Morris Copeland (1830–1874) was one of a small number of American landscape practitioners whose written and built work helped establish the foundations for city planning and integrated park systems. As did his colleagues Frederick Law Olmsted and Horace Cleveland, Copeland merged many of the principles of scientific farming with landscape design. Copeland organized Country Life (1859) into an agricultural year, providing practical and aesthetic advice on a month-by-month basis according to region.
