The Devil In The White City

This section was interesting because all they talked about how all these people started getting sick. Olmsted got so sick he just took off work for the rest of the time. He seems in a really bad shape. The doctors say he is in a state of depression so anything can happen. I feel bad that the contracters just kept ruining the work that Olmsted did and that hurt him deeply. It bugs me how careless all the workers were. I just wish they were more aware than they are now but I can't do anything about because its just a book. This book makes me want to go in there and set those characters straight because they all pretty much annoy me in one way or the other. I was wondering if they really met Theodore Roosevelt because that part confused me, if they did I think thats cool they meet alot of people. They were talking alot about this exhibition that they thought would attract more people to the fair. Olmsted would seems to be in alot of pain, I think he should take a long vacation because he needs to catch up on life. The way the book said that having his boys around made it seem for him as something darker, I found it extremely depressing because it was a vacation with his family. Then i read later on that Harry Codman got a strange sickness in his abdominal, I was thinking: "WOW! everyone is getting sick one by one". I think that its all that pressure from the fair. Olmsted looked at some of the decorations in the countryside where he was staying, and he referred to it as: "Childish and Vulgar". I was thinking that he is just being a critic everywhere he goes because he got nothing else to do.
