Riverside Park: The Splendid Silver is an illustrated tribute to Frederick Law Olmsted's "other" New York City sanctuary. Since its conception in the 1870s, the park has undergone a number of transformations and suffered from periods of misuse and neglect, but in 1984, much-needed renovations turned this city oasis into what is today: one of Manhattan's most beautiful attractions. Using photographs (both contemporary and historical), illustrations, poems, and original and excerpted narrative, Edward Grimm and E. Peter Schroeder tell the story of a symbol of the modern revitalization of New York City.

Edward Grimm has taught journalism and creative writing at Columbia and Fordham Universities and Hunter College.
