When Dr David Hosack tilled the America's first botanical garden in
the Manhattan soil more than two hundred years ago, he didn't just
dramatically alter the New York landscape; he left a monumental
legacy of advocacy for public health and wide-ranging support for
the sciences. A charismatic dreamer admired by the likes of
Jefferson, Madison and Humboldt, and intimate friends with both
Hamilton and Burr, the Columbia professor devoted his life to
inspiring Americans to pursue medicine and botany with a rigour to
rival Europe's. Though he was shoulder-to-shoulder with the
founding fathers Hosack and his story remain unknown. Now, in
melodic prose, Victoria Johnson eloquently chronicles Hosack's
tireless career to reveal the breadth of his impact.
