Gravestone chronicles

This first volume gathers essays and new research on the stone carvers who worked in eighteenth-century New England and the artistry of the grave markers they produced. Read as a whole, the burying grounds of the region are described as a varied record of the past, touching on history, artistic practice, religious belief, military campaigns, family lines, and at times tragedy, scandal, or humor.

A complete index of every name and place in both volumes appears in Volume II.
