  • RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS by Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee
    Field Notes - Spring 2016 Issue RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS By Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee We have been reviewing new books about the Olmsteds and the art of landscape architecture for so long that the book section of our website is beginning to resemble a bibliography. To make this resource more useful for researchers and interested readers, we’re beginning a series of articles about older publications that remain useful and enjoyable. We hope to focus on the landmarks of the Olmsted literature that appeared before the creation of our website as well as shorter writings that were not intended to be scholarly works or best sellers but that add to our understanding of Olmsted projects and themes. THE OLMSTEDS AND THE VANDERBILTS The Vanderbilts and the Gilded Age: Architectural Aspirations 1879-1901. by John Foreman and Robbe Pierce Stimson, Introduction by Louis Auchincloss. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1991, 341 pages. At his death, William Henry Vanderbilt (1821-1885) was the richest man in America. In the last eight years of his life, he had more than doubled the fortune he had inherited from his father, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877), who had created an empire from shipping and then done the same thing with the New York Central Railroad. William Henry left the bulk of his estate to his two eldest sons, but each of his two other sons and four daughters received five million dollars in cash and another five million in trust. This money supported a Vanderbilt building boom that remains unrivaled, including palaces along Fifth Avenue in New York, aristocratic complexes in the surrounding countryside, and palatial “cottages” at the fashionable country resorts.

  • Camp Santanoni, NY
    Camp Santanoni, New York August 16 - 28, 2015 Project Partner: Adirondack Architectural Heritage History: In the late 1800s, Robert and Anna Pruyn bought property along Newcombe Lake in the Adirondacks and developed it into a family estate that served as a refuge in nature from their urban life in Albany. With the growing American middle class in the 1800s, these family retreats grew in popularity. Families, like the Pruyn family, no longer looked at the American Wilderness as something to be tamed and conquered but something to be preserved and appreciated. The Pruyns had a love for the outdoors and bought this property on Newcombe Lake due to its isolation. Anna’s love of nature came from her childhood growing up in the Adirondacks. Robert spent many years in Japan as a youth, and as a result, he came to appreciate the Japanese reverence for wildlife and the integration of nature into culture. This Japanese inuence can be seen in the overall plan which places the buildings in a way that blends them with the contours of the natural landscape. The property was segmented into four areas: the Great Camp, gate lodge complex, service complex and a model farm. The family would often invite guests to enjoy the property, and even had Theodore Roosevelt stay with them. Decades after Robert and Anna’s death, the Pruyn children sold Santanoni to the Melvin family. Crandall and Myron Melvin continued to use the property as a family retreat, but did not hire a staff, like the Pruyns, to maintain the property. The Melvins spent less of their time engaged in leisure activities, and more time was spent on the preservation and maintenance of the property buildings.

  • Front Porch Travels – the Underground Railroad
    Traveling the Underground Railroad A Front Porch Travelogue Introduction For those not familiar with the Front Porch Travelers, let me take a moment to introduce you. They are six senior citizens who have become very real over the past 14 years that they’ve been presenting the travelogue for Activity Connection. Couples Nell and Truman McGiver and Bert and Ethel Davis join sisters Mabel and Maude Gunderson in their virtual adventures around the world. Along the way they learn a lot, have fun, and experience the occasional mishap (mostly thanks to Nell). This month they invite you to join them as they travel back in time to learn about the Underground Railroad and the people who served on it. Click here to learn more about the Front Porch Travelers. Fugitive slaves were told to follow the North Star to Freedom History by Truman Despite not being underground and not being a railroad, the escape routes used by runaway slaves was aptly named the Underground Railroad. The appropriateness of the name was rooted in the secrecy surrounding it and the network established to create a path to freedom. The Fugitive Slave Act passed in the Deep South in 1793 made a lucrative business out of capturing escaped slaves and established punishments for those helping them. Because of this, escapees were generally on their own until they were able to get farther north. The Quakers were among the first to organize aid for the slaves. Isaac T. Hopper, a Quaker abolitionist, established a network of safe houses in Philadelphia. In North Carolina, Quakers formed abolitionist groups to create routes and shelters for slaves on the run.
