Francis Parkman (1823 – 1893) was an American historian whose works are still valued as historical sources. He was also a leading horticulturist, briefly a professor of Horticulture at Harvard University, and author of several books on the topic. Unfortunately, Parkman also wrote essays opposing legal voting for women that continued to circulate long after his death. (The image of the author we included on our website is NOT in the book.)
