The American elm, elegant and highly adaptable, was an essential
feature of America's cultural landscape for more than a century,
forming great verdant parasols above--and giving its name
to--streets all across the nation. The elm became a defining
element in the spatial design of America's villages, towns, and
cities, first in New England, and--with the westward transit of
Yankee culture--eventually throughout the United States. This
fascinating and generously illustrated book traces the elm's
transformation from a fast-growing weed into a regional and
national icon, and shows how Elm Street satisfied America's quest
for a pastoral urbanism imagined since the time of Jefferson.
