Book Synopsis The Speaking Stone by : Michael Griffith
Download or read book The Speaking Stone written by Michael Griffith and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Speaking Stone: Stories Cemeteries Tell is a literary love letter to the joys of wandering graveyards and the discoveries such wanderings can yield. Here, Michael Griffith roams Spring Grove (founded 1844), the nation's third-largest cemetery, following curiosity and accident wherever they lead. The result is this fascinating collection, which narrates the lives of those he encountered on the way. Griffith lingers amidst the traces left behind--these are stories of race, feminism, art, and death, uncovered through obituaries, archival documents, and family legacies. Some essays focus on well-known figures like the feminist icon and freethinker Fanny Wright, but most chronicle the lives of lesser-known figures (a spiritual medium, a temperance advocate, the designers of caskets and hearses, the inventor of the glass-door oven) or of nearly unknown ones (a young heiress who died under mysterious circumstances, the daring sign-painters known as walldogs). The Speaking Stone examines what endures and what doesn't, reflecting on the vanity and poignancy of our attempts to leave monuments that last. Archival photos grace the pages of these thirteen essays that explore a larger, deeply tangled complex of ideas about place, history, self, and art.

Book Synopsis Stories in the Grove by : Phillip J. Nuxhall
Download or read book Stories in the Grove written by Phillip J. Nuxhall and published by Orange Frazer Press. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phil Nuxhall has been having a love affair with Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum since 2001 when he became its very first historian. After digging into historical records for several years, his knowledge of Spring Grove deepened and broadened. He began giving private tours, then educated docents to give public tours, then added a tram for long-winded tours (and short-winded tourists ). As a follow up to Nuxhall's successful photography book, Beauty in the Grove: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum, his latest book, Stories in the Grove, tells the little known narratives behind those who are buried there, and often why. From famous to infamous; from rich to poor; from spouse to lover; you'll never again think of Spring Grove as just a pretty place to walk, to jog, to bike or to bury. Nuxhall immortalizes 115 of his favorite stories in this collection that fascinates, educates, immortalizes, and entertains.
Book Synopsis Cincinnati Cemeteries by : Kevin Grace
Download or read book Cincinnati Cemeteries written by Kevin Grace and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004-10-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cincinnati Cemeteries is not only a history of graveyards and their occupants. It also investigates the culture of death and dying in Cincinnati: from the infamous Pearl Bryan murder and the 19th-century cholera epidemics, to the body snatchers who stole the corpse of Benjamin Harrison’s father and the notorious “resurrection men.” In a city teeming with immigrants and transients these “sack ‘em up” grave robbers had ample opportunities to supply cadavers to Cincinnati’s medical schools. And if fresh graves weren’t available, they lurked for victims in the saloons and the dark alleys of Vine Street and the West End.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spring Grove Cemetery: Its History and Improvements, With Observations on Ancient and Modern Places of Sepulture Neither London, Paris, nor Berlin, with their splendid parks of thousands of acres, has at this time a rural cemetery that will compare with those near Boston, New York, Philadelphia, or Cincinnati. As to monumental decoration it must be admitted that the principal European burial grounds possess important works of art, but their number is not so large as might be expected, and the great bulk of memorials erected to the departed would admit of considerable improve ment. The great mistake people make there, and in many cases here, consists in doing too much, whereby they invariably destroy the general good appearance of their otherwise beautiful locations.
