You don't have to be a ghoul to enjoy graveyards. Visiting the final resting places of well-known personalities and historical figures is as much a celebration of lives fascinatingly (or self- destructively) led as it is an illuminating look into the past. Authors Patricia and Jonathan Brooks unearth nearly a thousand intriguing characters whose legacies live on beyond the grave. Inside this volume you'll find detailed obituaries and sepulchral photographs, as well as useful data on cemetery locations and visiting hours; availability of maps, tours, walks, and special events; and original homesteads and museums - plus tasty lunch spots! - located nearby.
