DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe vivid and dramatic photographs of gravestones carvings contained in this book reveal some of the finest examples of Early American art. The authors travelled more than 60,000 miles--all through New England, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and visited nearly 3,000 old burial grounds. Their photographs show details and full views of stones dating from 1664 to 1901, though most are from the 18th century, and beautifully recapture this vanishing art legacy.--back cover.
