This work "traces Hosack's passionate devotion to his fellow citizens: from the medical care he offered in festering sickrooms of Manhattan, to his critical presence at the fateful duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, and through his founding of the nation's first public botanical garden on farmland that is now home to Rockefeller Center...American Eden is an intimate personal drama and a sweeping political and environmental history of the early Republic." --
