| The book, written by Richard Lebherz and designed
by graphic artist, Richard Markey, traces the history of the idea
of Baker Park through the lives of two men: Joseph Dill Baker and
Lloyd C. Culler. According to Lebherz, the history of Baker Park began
on the morning of June 24, 1926, when the old Zentz Mill burnt down
on Bentz Street. Filled with current and archival photographs, "This Green Oasis" also takes the reader on a stroll through Baker Park as we see it today, stopping along the way to point out various monuments, explaining how they got there. The book also tells the reader about the origin of Friends of Baker Park, a group of volunteers who care about the condition of the Park and who work with the City of Frederick to preserve the Park for our enjoyment today.
