Detroit's Holy Cross Cemetery (Images of America Series)
Another of the Images of America cemetery books about Detroit. Holy Cross lacks the titans of industry buried in Elmwood and Woodlawn, but it still mirrors the waves of immigration that created the Motor City. Since there are no major works of art in this cemetery, the illustrations focus mainly on the people buried there, including wedding photos, casual snapshots, official family portraits, and more. Flipping through the pages gives a really good sense of who the Catholic Detroiters were.
I particularly like the chapter about those who died too young, since the stories of children and young people are so often lost in the past. The chapter called "Those Who Stood in Harm's Way" was enjoyable, too. It covers the military and civilian service of Holy Cross's permanent denizens.
Elaine Walters Raymo is a professional historical researcher and it shows in this book. This book should serve as a model for all cemeteries who lack the flash of celebrities or the draw of major art -- and yet are still filled with funny, touching, instructive stories.
