New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones

History in the Landscape

Beschreibung

A tour of New Jersey's burial sites from the seventeenth century onwards. This book shows how headstones are much more than place markers for the deceased. It explains what cemeteries and their gravemarkers say about different individuals and the communities in which they lived.
