Description 120 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Summary Gravestones, colonial America's earliest sculpture, provide a unique physical link to the European people who settles here. These stones tell of death at sea, epidemics such as smallpox, the loss of children, and a grim view of the afterlife. The narrative explores a long personal involvement with the stones and their place in the New England landscape, and attempts to trace the curious and imperfectly documented history of the gravestone carvers. -- Jacket.
