The new reprint edition of Robert Morris Copeland's Country Life brings an influential classic back into public view. The influence of Robert Morris Copeland and George Perkins Marsh converged in Woodstock, Vermont, where Frederick Billings employed Copeland in 1869 to design his estate and begin the process of repairing its badly damaged forested landscape. The Billings property, which is today a national park, had also been home to Marsh, one of the nation's first global environmental thinkers. The tangible expression of Copeland's philosophy of 'The Useful and the Beautiful' can still be experienced and enjoyed on the reforested slopes and carriage roads of Mount Tom.--Rolf Diamant, Superintendent, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, Woodstock, Vermont
