American Eden: David Hosack, Botany, and Medicine in the Garden of the Early Rep

Description: American Eden by Victoria Johnson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The untold story of Hamiltons—and Burrs—physician whose dream to build Americas first botanical garden inspired the young Republic. Publisher Description When Dr. David Hosack tilled the countrys first botanical garden in the Manhattan soil more than two hundred years ago, he didnt 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 rigor to rival Europes. Though he was shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding fathers—and even present at the fatal duel that took Hamiltons life—Hosack and his story remain unknown. Now, in melodic prose, historian Victoria Johnson eloquently chronicles Hosacks tireless career to reveal the breadth of his impact. The result is a lush portrait of the man who gave voice to a new, deeply American understanding of the powers and perils of nature. Author Biography Victoria Johnson, a former Cullman Fellow, is currently an associate professor of urban policy and planning at Hunter College (City University of New York), where she teaches on the history of nonprofits, philanthropy, and New York City.
