...graduated in 1889 from Yale and then went abroad to study forestry in Germany and France. Upon his return he opened an office in New York as consulting forester. Among the estates which he surveyed and planned out are the Biltmore estate in North Carolina and Mr. Webb's preserves in the Adirondacks.
