Cincinnati Cemeteries is not only a history of graveyards and their occupants. It also investigates the culture of death and dying in Cincinnati: from the infamous Pearl Bryan murder and the 19th-century cholera epidemics, to the body snatchers who stole the corpse of Benjamin Harrison's father and the notorious "resurrection men." In a city teeming with immigrants and transients these "sack 'em up" grave robbers had ample opportunities to supply cadavers to Cincinnati's medical schools. And if fresh graves weren't available, they lurked for victims in the saloons and the dark alleys of Vine Street and the West End.

Cincinnati Cemeteries: The Queen City Underground, Ohio (Images of America Series)
James A. Madison, Associate professor of history at Indiana University provides a thorough history of Indiana Territory from 1600 through statehood in 1816 to present with publication for Indiana Historical Society in 1986. Being a native "Hoosier" I enjoyed recalling the facts presented as well as gaining further insight into our heritage. Madison reiterates the characteristics of a native Hoosiers as conservative, mainstream Americans, never quick to change, distinctively proud of their achievements and always happy to "smell the new-mown hay". As the state poem depicts..."God crowned her hills with beauty". A good historical read for all Hoosiers. (4.5)
