Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a stroll through Elmwood Cemetery with this graveside or (virtual) bedside self-guided tour. Meet a Colorado town's most intriguing and not-to-be-forgotten figures! Filled with history, mystery, and intrigue, this book is sure to delight both experienced and novice tombstone tourists. Meet the area's adventurous pioneers, such as a gold-discovering fifty-niner and the man who helped shape a town's beginnings, after the feat of building the first bridge over the Missouri River. Get an inside glimpse of the famous and the infamous-like "Red" Barker, son of Ma Barker (matriarch of the notorious outlaw clan) and his murder. Read the sad and the mad, like the Schnell twins' story, a story that almost disappeared along with the lake of their tragic drowning and a draft horse that wandered (without a driver) through town pulling the mercantile wagon and making friends along the way. Finally, immerse yourself in the memories shared of ordinary people that remind us that rich or poor, famed or forgotten-everyone's life is worth remembering and has a story to tell. Contains detailed maps for finding the featured sites while walking the actual cemetery, including GPS compass locations and QR code technology for opening interactive Google Maps(TM). Or, curl up bedside or in an armchair for a virtual tour. Also includes extra cemetery miscellany, including: Elmwood Cemetery History; a Tombstone Tourist Guide to Hidden Symbolism; and a Glossary of Memorial Architecture. A perfect guide for those who want to learn more about Colorado history. And, equally perfect for tombstone detectives who love to investigate the art and beauty of the cemetery and discover stories shared from beyond the grave. It is also a valuable reference for those who desire a blueprint for creating their own cemetery tour. This tour page guide includes 20+ stories and 150+ BW + COLOR photos.

Download or read book Walking Denver written by MIndy Sink and published by Wilderness Press. This book was released on 2011-05-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Its mild climate and abundant sunshine make Denver, one of America's fittest cities, a welcoming place for a walk any time of year. Colorado's capital is the country's fifth most walkable city. There is so much to see when out for a stroll through downtown or a hike in the nearby foothills. This exceptional guide explores the best of the city from Dinosaur Ridge and Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre to the Mile High Loop in City Park and public art scattered throughout downtown. These 30 specially designed urban treks are not only good exercise but are a great way to soak up the history, culture, parks, and vibe of the Mile High City. The walk's commentary includes trivia about architecture, local culture, and neighborhood history, plus tips on where to dine, have a drink, or shop. Each tour includes a clear neighborhood map and vital public transportation (where appropriate) and parking information. Route summaries make each walk easy to follow, and a "Points of Interest" section lists each walk's highlights. Insider Mindy Sink guides the urban adventurer from the Mile High Loop, the city's newest footpath in City Park, to the Golden Triangle's cultural and architectural gems, and the ever lively Art District on Santa Fe. From the Auraria Campus (home to three universities), to the city's oldest still operating cemetery, this book reveals part of the city even seasoned locals overlook.

Download or read book Stories in Stone written by Douglas Keister and published by Gibbs Smith. This book was released on 2004-04-05 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain symbols abound in modern Western culture that are instantly recognizable: the cross signifies Christianity, the six-pointed Star of David is revered by Jews, the golden arches frequently means it's time for lunch. Other symbols, however, require a bit of decoding-particularly those found in cemeteries. Cemeteries are virtual encyclopedias of symbolism. Engravings on tombstones, mausoleums and memorials tell us just about everything there is to know about a person: date of birth and death as well as religion, ethnicity, occupation, community interests, and much more. In the fascinating new book Stories in Stone: The Complete Guide to Cemetery Symbolism by noted author Douglas Keister, the secrets of cemetery symbolism are finally revealed. Did you know that it is quite rare to see a sunflower on a tombstone? Did you know that the human foot symbolizes humility and service since it consistently touches the earth? Or the humble sheaf of wheat-while it is often used to denote someone who has lived a long and fruitful life? Do you know other meanings it might carry? Stories in Stone provides history along with images of a wide variety of common and not-so-common cemetery symbols, and offers an in-depth examination of stone relics and the personal and intimate details they display-flora and fauna, religious icons, society symbols, and final impressions of how the deceased wished to be remembered. Douglas Keister has created a practical field guide that is compact and portable, perfect for those interested in family histories and genealogical research, and is the only book of its kind that unlocks the language of symbols in a comprehensive and easy-to-understand manner. Douglas Keister has photographed fourteen award-winning, critically acclaimed books (including Red Tile Style: America's Spanish Revival Architecture, The Bungalow: America's Arts & Crafts Home, and Storybook Style: America's Whimsical Homes of the Twenties) earning him the title "America's most noted photographer of historic architecture." He also writes and illustrates magazine articles and contributes photographs and essays to other books, calendars, posters, and greeting cards. Doug lives in Chico, California, and travels frequently to photograph and lecture on historic architecture and photography.

Download or read book Philadelphia Graveyards and Cemeteries written by Thomas H. Keels and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philadelphia, the birthplace of America, is the final resting place of some of the nation's greatest citizens. The burial grounds of Christ Church hold the remains of Benjamin Franklin and six other signers of the Declaration of Independence. Philadelphia pioneered the development of the rural cemetery with the establishment of Laurel Hill, eternal home to Gettysburg hero George Gordon Meade and thirty-nine other Civil War-era generals. In Philadelphia's Jewish, Catholic, and African American burial grounds rest such notable figures as Rebecca Gratz, model for the Jewish heroine of Walter Scott's Ivanhoe; John Barry, Catholic father of the U.S. Navy; and Octavius Catto, an African American civil-rights leader of the nineteenth century. Finally, there are the vanished cemeteries, such as Monument, Lafayette, and Franklin. Transformed into playgrounds and parking lots, these cemeteries were obliterated with sometimes horrific callousness. Philadelphia Graveyards and Cemeteries tells the intriguing history of these burial grounds, whether revered or long forgotten.
