Download or read book Boneyards written by Richard Bak and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of burial sites and customs in Metro Detroit and the historical and social changes behind our treatment of the dead. From the earliest burial mounds to today's simple street shrines, Boneyards: Detroit Under Ground reveals how Metro Detroiters have interred their dead and honored their memory. Author Richard Bak investigates the history of dozens of local cemeteries and also explores the cultural and business side of dying, from old-fashioned home funerals to the grave-robbing "resurrectionists" of the nineteenth century to modern funeral directors. Bak presents a mix of historic and contemporary photographs to illustrate each site or event alongside lively prose descriptions. Taken together, Bak's informative and often surprising historical snapshots span the entire metro area and three centuries of history. Boneyards visits the area's largest cemeteries--including Elmwood, Woodmere, Mount Olivet, Mount Elliott--and showcases some of their most intricate and unusual monuments. Bak also introduces readers to abandoned graveyards like William Ganong Cemetery in Westland, Millar Cemetery in Clinton Township, and Beth Olem Cemetery inside the GM Poletown Plant. Bak includes photos of some of the city's largest funerals, from those of automaker Henry Ford and orchestra conductor Ossip Gabrilovitch to civil rights icon Rosa Parks and rapper DeShaun "Proof" Holton. In addition, Bak tells the stories of the ordinary and the unclaimed in local cemeteries, along with the social changes like the creation of a "drive-through" funeral home in the 1970s, the "white flight" of interred family members from Detroit cemeteries, and the trend of local cemeteries adding graves that face Mecca to accommodate the growing Muslim population. Ultimately, Bak proves that our treatment of the dead reveals much about our culture and our values. Boneyards will be intriguing reading for Detroit historians, local residents, and anyone interested in the customs of memorializing past generations.

The story will take you from the early days in Georgia, Camp Oglethorpe, as the medical specialist begin to learn about army life. Onto the Camp Lee, Virginia, experience, where non specialists learn quickly how to become soldiers. Experience the journey across the Atlantic Ocean and into the north east corner of France where men heard and saw the rigors of a horrific scene from their field hospital. You won’t forget this first-hand account, from the story written by the solders, as they use humor to cover up what they actually saw and felt. As it is sometimes called, “humor in uniform”, will help you see their journey to and back from war, as they record life in the army. Individual short biographies of each soldier will answer your question, “What happened to these men after the War?”
