Praise for the original edition:
“No one in the future will be able to write about nineteenth-century cemeteries in the United States without first studying this book. . . . Silent City on a Hill is a lavishly satisfying scholarly book.” —Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians
THE NEW EDITION of this classic history of America’s first rural cemetery has been expanded and completely redesigned in a larger format, with new photographs and a new epilogue that carries the story forward into the twentieth century.
