As important as he was, most of the earlier books concentrated on the high points, the popular dramatic photos, and were less rigorously scholarly. Ronald E. Schmitt's documentation in breadth and depth is highly effective. The diaspora of Sullivan's work is finally being addressed.\"\u003cbr\u003e — \u003cb\u003eBen Weese\u003c\/b\u003e, Weese Langley Weese Architects, Chicago\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book is the first of its kind and fills a wide gap in our understanding of the architecture of the early twentieth century. It is time to recognize that Louis Sullivan had an even greater influence over a wider area than anyone previously realized. Not only has Ronald E.
