Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) is best known for designing parks
in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Chicago, Boston, and the grounds of the
Capitol in Washington. But before he embarked upon his career as
the nation's foremost landscape architect, 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,including intimate accounts of the daily lives of
masters and slaves, the operation of the plantation system, and the
pernicious effects of slavery on all classes of society, black and
white,were largely collected in The Cotton Kingdom . Published in
1861, just as the Southern states were storming out of the Union,
it has been hailed ever since as singularly fair and authentic, an
unparalleled account of America's "peculiar institution."
