520    "One goal drove Hosack above all others: to build the 
       Republic's first botanical garden. Despite innumerable 
       obstacles and near-constant resistance, Hosack triumphed 
       when his Elgin Botanic Garden at last crowned twenty acres
       of Manhattan farmland by 1810. "Where others saw real 
       estate and power, Hosack saw the landscape as a 
       pharmacopoeia able to bring medicine into the modern age" 
       (Eric W. Sanderson, author of Mannahatta). What remains 
       today of America's first botanical garden lies in the 
       heart of midtown, buried beneath Rockefeller Center. 
       Whether collecting specimens along the banks of the Hudson
       River, lecturing before a class of rapt medical students, 
       or breaking the fever of a young Philip Hamilton, David 
       Hosack was an American visionary who has been too long 
       forgotten. Alongside other towering figures of the post-
       Revolutionary generation, he took the reins of a nation. 
       In unearthing the dramatic story of his life, Johnson 
       offers a lush depiction of the man who gave a new voice to
       the powers and perils of nature"--|cProvided by publisher.
