Stars: 1
Review by: MApgar
The
horticultural habits of the founders and how it impacted the early
environs of DC and such. It was very selective in an odd way though -
very odd. Went into a lot on Mount Vernon and was quite detailed,
but as to the actual 'point' of the book it wasn't as concise. Like it
said almost nothing about Dolley Madison, with all she did to establish
the White House grounds. I did learn that Jefferson brought Belgian
Shepherds to this country though, and my neighbors
have long wondered that at least. Little details such as that it brings
up, but as to the actual establishment of the DC landscape it was not as
focused.
