Book Reviews of Graveyards of Chicago: The People, History, Art, and Lore of Cook County Cemeteries
Book Review: An unusual and distinctive cultural legacy.
Summary: 5 Stars
Graveyards Of Chicago: The People, History, Art, And Lore Of Cook County Cemeteries is an extensive compendium of facts that provide the reader with a literary expedition through the quirky cemeteries of Metropolitan Chicago. From abandoned, acre-big burial grounds to lavishly-landscaped "cities of the dead", Chicagoland cemeteries capture the imagination of visitors. Many of these fascinating sites, offering a wealth of legend and lore, are unknown to the general public. Graveyards Of Chicago is a unique regional history that remedies this benign neglect, showcasing this unusual Chicago cultural legacy most admirably.
