Sample Annotated Bibliography<\/h2>\r\n
\u201cThe Geography of American Graveyards\u201d\r\nby John Lerner<\/div>\r\n1) Jordan, Terry G. (1982).\u00a0Texas\u00a0Graveyards, A Cultural Legacy.\u00a0Austin: University of\u00a0Texas\u00a0Press.\r\n

Jordan\u00a0offers an in-depth look at the hows and whys of\u00a0Texas\u00a0graveyards. He divides vernacular burial sites into three categories: Mexican, German, and \u201cSouthern folk\u00a0cemeteries.\u201d His physical descriptions of cemetery layout, inscriptions, grave\u00a0markers, and the like are very detailed.<\/p>\r\n2) Meyer, Richard E., ed. (1989). Cemeteries and Gravemarkers, Voices of American\u00a0\u00a0Culture.\u00a0Ann Arbor: UMI Research Press.\r\n

Meyer\u2019s book is a compilation of works concerning such topics as regional epitaphs, origins of Southern cemeteries, the\u00a0Afro-American section of a\u00a0Rhode Island\u00a0burial ground, and the use of bronze in memorials.<\/p>\r\n3) Sloane, David Charles (1991). The Last Great Necessity, Cemeteries in American\u00a0History.\u00a0Baltimore: the\u00a0Johns\u00a0Hopkins\u00a0University\u00a0Press.\r\n

Sloane\u2019s work will serve as my primary source of information. He has written a history of American cemeteries in a cultural context\u00a0concentrating on significant trends in their development. Sloane\u2019s \u201cNotes\u201d section will allow for easy access to other sources.<\/p>\r\n4) Weed, Howard Evarts (1912). Modern Park Cemeteries.\u00a0Chicago: R.J. Haight.\r\n

Weed was a landscape architect and his work concentrates on how a cemetery should look. Weed offers detailed descriptions of\u00a0the physical layout of pre-20th century\u00a0cemeteries.<\/p>\r\n5) Zelinsky, Wilbur (1994). \u201cGathering Places for\u00a0America\u2019s Dead,\u201d The Professional Geographer. 46:1, 29-38.\r\n

Zelinsky\u2019s article is an intriguing analysis of the spatial patterns of American cemeteries. He calculates and maps the number of cemeteries by county across the country. He then seeks answers as to why there is such a fluctuation in the number per square mile from one place to the next. Zelinsky\u2019s bibliography led me to Sloane\u2019s work.<\/p>","rendered":"
