Tour the cemeteries of Pennsylvania's three original counties
(Philadelphia, Delaware, and Chester--"The Birthplace of America").
This fascinating guide includes twenty maps providing locations for
twenty burial grounds. Over 145 color images present graveyard
monuments, ranging from simple early headstones of the 1600s to
imposing Victorian ziggurats. View the penny-strewn grave of
Benjamin Franklin, the monumental marker of General "Mad Anthony"
Wayne, a granite obelisk commemorating the Revolutionary War's
Paoli Massacre, mausoleums of Millionaires' Row at Laurel Hill,
simple markers for runaway slaves seeking freedom, and the cast
iron gates believed to prevent the wandering of restless souls.
Fascinating stories, sure to captivate the reader, include tales of
such ghostly doings as ticking tombstones, a long departed general
in search of his bones, spectral appearances of soldiers from the
Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and races with the Devil. For those
readers with a passion for history, this book will be truly
compelling.
