Editorial Reviews
Product Description
William Hertrich's personal history of the Huntington Botanical Gardens has been a perennial favorite since its first publication in 1949, and this reprinted edition will captivate a whole new audience of readers. Hertrich was hired as Henry Huntington's landscape gardener in 1905; over the next two decades, the two men designed many of teh gardens and plant collections seen at the Huntington today. Upon his retirement as superintendent in 1948, Hertrich set out to write an in-depth history of the early years of teh estate in a highly personal account filled with memories, anecdotes, and first-hand historical detail. The book includes more than 150 black-and-white photos beginnign with the early 1900s, many of them taken by Hertrich himself. This is a "must-read" book for anyone with an interest in the history of the Huntington.
