Description: New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones : History in the Landscape, Paperback by Veit, Richard Francis; Nonestied, Mark, ISBN 0813542367, ISBN-13 9780813542362, Brand New, Free shipping in the US New Jersey Cemeteries and Tombstones presents a culturally diverse account of New Jersey&;s historic burial places from High Point to Cape May and from the banks of the Delaware to the ocean-washed Shore, to explain what cemeteries tell us about people and the communities in which they lived. The evidence ranges from somber seventeenth-century decorations such as hourglasses and skulls that denoted the brevity of colonial life, to modern times where memorials, such as a life-size granite Mercedes Benz, reflect the materialism of the new millennium. Also considered are contemporary novelties such as pet cemeteries and what they reveal about today&;s culture. To tell their story the authors visited more than 1,000 burial grounds and interviewed numerous monument dealers and cemetarians. This richly illustrated book is essential reading for history buffs and indeed anyone who has ever wandered inquisitively through their local cemeteries.
