Holmes; George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr.; Frederick Law Olmsted; Richard Morris Hunt; John Wellborn Root; Carter Harrison, Sr.; and Patrick Eugene Prendergast. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
