In 1928, Arthur A. Shurcliff (1870-1957) began what became one of the
most important examples of the American Colonial Revival
landscape--Colonial Williamsburg, a project that stretched into the
1940s and included town and highway planning as well as residential and
institutional gardens. Elizabeth Hope Cushing, in this richly
illustrated biography, traces Shurcliff's route from early years and
planning work in Boston to his largest and most significant contribution
to American landscape architecture.
