He is a member of the Presidents Advisory Committee on the Arts at the Kennedy Center and is a founder and trustee of the Joan Whitney and Charles Shipman Payson Charitable Foundation. Mr. Payson attended Bowdoin College and later Pepperdine, from which he earned the bachelor of arts degree. He was honored in 1969 with the President's Award at the University's alumni banquet. Mr. Paysons commitment to the arts has been recognized by Maine College of Art and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Payson Library at Seaver College, one of the original buildings on the Malibu campus, was funded by Mr. Paysons parents, Charles Shipman Payson and Joan Whitney Payson of New York.

CENTRAL PARK Central Park Indian Hunter (1866) by John Quincy Adams Ward
304 305 CENTRAL PARK Central Park Indian Hunter (1866) by John Quincy Adams Ward. The heartland of Manhattan, Central Park encompasses 843 acres set aside for New Yorkers and visitors, enjoyed by 40 million people annually. lthough Central Park seems “natural”—the largest surviving piece of Manhattan unencrusted with A asphalt and masonry—its landscape and scenery are completely man-made, based on designs by Frederick Law Olmsted (see p. 309) and Calvert Vaux (see p. 314). Strolling around its peaceful, verdant lawns and slopes today, it is hard to believe that in the mid-19th century, before the adoption of Olmsted and Vaux’s Greensward Plan, the area was desolate, covered with scrubby trees, rocky outcroppings, and occasional ﬁ elds where squatters grazed their pigs and goats. A garbage dump, a bone-boiling works, and a rope walk added their own atmosphere. Park information and maps Open 6am–1am all year; park drives closed to vehicular tra c on weekends, major holidays, and weekdays during non-rush hours. For a map of the park, see pp. 310–11. Free Central Park Conservancy map available at the Visitor Centers or online at centralparknyc.org/maps; GPS-enabled app also available online. Information kiosks, open Apr–Nov, at Sixth Ave, West 72nd St, and East 72nd St entrances.

Acknowledgements Thank you to all who have played their part in the realization of this study. The network of family, friends, colleagues, students, and mentors who have inspired, supported, challenged, and refined it is broad. There are, of course, countless people who have influenced it in subtle ways. But there are also many who have influenced it much more directly. Most immediately were those on my dissertation committee. Jeff Meikle has long provided me an intellectual model of how American Studies can unlock and energize our understanding of the past. His close reading of my work—from my first year at Texas to the final word of my dissertation—was invaluable. I can hardly express how grateful I am for that. I was further blessed by the influence of others at the university, as examples of both committed teaching and vibrant scholarship.
