Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cemeteries are more than final resting places for the dead; they are gateways to an area's shared history. Every hand-carved granite or marble monument, every faded wooden marker, holds a clue. Western Sierra populations boomed with the discovery of gold and often dwindled as gold fever waned. Cemeteries of the Western Sierra uses the lens of the cemetery to glimpse a rich and disappearing history. Displaced indigenous populations, miners, dueling newspaper magnates, Chinese pioneers: all are part of the mosaic of history represented in a historical cemetery. From solitary graves in the forest to almost forgotten graveyards near the center of a town, cemeteries tell a story not just of who may have died but also of who lived and what was meaningful in their time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California's Eastern Sierra region, encompassing Inyo and Mono Counties, is a paradise of striking contrasts and beauty. Early settlers came to this area--now known chiefly for recreational activities such as fishing, hiking, and skiing--for its mining and agricultural prospects. Towns like Bodie, Lundy, and Keeler rose with the promise of quick riches but failed when the promise dimmed. Throughout this unique landscape are sprinkled the poignant resting places of early pioneers. Reflecting the diversity of the natural setting, the area's cemeteries range from the Mono County Cemetery overlooking Mono Lake to the overgrown cemetery at the Civil War-era Fort Independence to the garden cemeteries of Bishop. The monuments in these cemeteries, along with the beautiful country that surrounds them, honor the men and women who once carved lives out of this rugged wilderness.

Download or read book Amador City A Haunting History written by Claudine Burnett and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-05-23 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amador City is a small Gold Rush era town in Amador County, which has more dead than living. The .3 square mile hamlet of just 201 “living” souls is the smallest incorporated city in California. It was once the center of a thriving mining industry, with over 1000 residents. The town has seen its population ebb and flow, along with mining. It has experienced several fires, and frequent deaths. It is a city with much history lying buried along with many who once called it home. It is a city where fortunes were made. There was Alvinza Hayward, who consulted mediums before staking a mining claim, and well-known individuals such as Leland Stanford and George Hearst. However, there were many who never found the elusive gold that evaded them in life. Perhaps their spirits are responsible for the orbs of light seen flashing through Amador City’s buildings, and the ethereal voices still heard echoing along the banks of Amador Creek. Some spirits have been seen in physical form, others seemingly expressing themselves through moving objects, cold spots and unexplained noises. Then there are those wandering souls still seeking a resolution to their murder, restless miners whose deaths could have been avoided, and suicides who ended their lives abruptly. It is a city where the past still haunts the present. Read and explore tales of the dead and more — forgotten byways, neighboring towns that have disappeared, robberies, saloon brawls and how 1872 mining claim laws are still in effect, and how you too, may become rich by becoming a present-day gold miner.

Download or read book The American Resting Place written by Marilyn Yalom and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2008-05-15 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated cultural history of America through the lens of its gravestones and burial practices—featuring eighty black-and-white photographs. In The American Resting Place, cultural historian Marilyn Yalom and her son, photographer Reid Yalom, visit more than 250 cemeteries across the United States. Following a coast-to-coast trajectory that mirrors the historical pattern of American migration, their destinations highlight America’s cultural and ethnic diversity as well as the evolution of burials rites over the centuries. Yalom’s incisive reading of gravestone inscriptions reveals changing ideas about death and personal identity, as well as how class and gender play out in stone. Rich particulars include the story of one seventeenth-century Bostonian who amassed a thousand pairs of gloves in his funeral-going lifetime, the unique burial rites and funerary symbols found in today’s Native American cultures, and a “lost” Czech community brought uncannily to life in Chicago’s Bohemian National Columbarium. From fascinating past to startling future—DVDs embedded in tombstones, “green” burials, and “the new aesthetic of death”—The American Resting Place is the definitive history of the American cemetery.
