In the 1850s, the young Frederick Law Olmsted was adrift, a restless farmer and dreamer in search of a mission. He found it during an extraordinary journey, as an undercover correspondent in the South for the up-and-coming New York Times. In “Spying on the South”, the best-selling author of “Confederates in the Attic” returns to the South and the Civil War era for an epic adventure on the trail of America’s greatest landscape architect.
