Synopsis
Visiting cemeteries from every era and all regions of the state, Bill Harvey recounts the histories of famous, infamous, and just plain interesting Texans who lie at rest in Texas cemeteries., Winner, Journalistic Achievement Award, Texas Historical Foundation, 2004 From the simplest slab of weathered stone to the most imposing mausoleum, every marker in a Texas cemetery bears witness to a life that--in ways small or large--helped shape the history and culture of the state. Telling the stories of some of these significant lives is the purpose of this book. Within its pages, you'll meet not only the heroes of the Texas Revolution, for example, but also one of the great African American cowboys of the traildriving era (Bose Ikard) and the first woman in Texas elected to statewide office (Annie Webb Blanton). Visiting cemeteries from every era and all regions of the state, Bill Harvey recounts the histories of famous, infamous, and just plain interesting Texans who lie at rest in Texas cemeteries. The book is organized alphabetically by city for easy reference. For each city, Harvey lists one or more cemeteries, giving their location and history, if significant. At the heart of the book are his profiles of the noteworthy people buried in each cemetery. They include not only famous but also lesser-known and even unknown Texans who made important contributions to the state in the arts, sports, business, military service, politics--truly every area of communal life. For those who want to visit these resting places, Harvey also includes tips on finding cemeteries, locating gravesites, and taking good photographs. Spend time with him in the graveyards of Texas, and you'll soon appreciate what fascinating stories the silent stones can tell., From the simplest slab of weathered stone to the most imposing mausoleum, every marker in a Texas cemetery bears witness to a life that--in ways small or large--helped shape the history and culture of the state.

    A+++ seller. MY post office ruined the book my shoving into my mailbox when it didn’t fit. I messaged the seller asking if they knew how I could file a claim with my local usps and they immediately messaged me back. Seller was willing to send me another book but no others were in stock so instead refunded me the full price, no questions asked, even tho they were not at fault. Much appreciated.

  • A Bit Too Sketchy

    I have purchased plenty of books on cemeteries through the years. Many of them are pretty comprehensive, going into great detail about the people who are buried in a specific location. Unfortunately, Texas Cemeteries by Bill Harvey does not provide as much detail about the lives of the famous people who are buried in the great state of Texas. While I realize that there are not as many famous people buried there as, say, New York or California, there should have been more text about the lives of these people. As a result, the book contains many, many people who are of far less fame so I often glossed over their biographies. I would definitely purchase this book again because it is noteworthy, well written and informative, but I wish that it was a bit more comprehensive.

  • Texas Cemeteries

    Being a History major and loving old cemeteries I thought that this book would be a great book to add to my collection. I book is interesting..and has alot of food information about where famous people are burried. What I like about the book the most is the information it gives you on how to take pictures of headstones. Very informative! What I did not like about it was I was thinking it would have more celeberties..and or burrial places of people that made great contribution to our society.

  • Quirky guide to the spice of Texas cemeteries

    Entertaining book that hits the highlights, unusual, and sometimes just plain weird fascinating story of cemeteries in Texas. Don't buy expecting a comprehensive review of ALL cemeteries in Texas, not what it is.

  • Texas Cemetery

    I bought this book, because I find cemeteries interesting. I liked the information written about the deceased, as it lets you know more them and the history of the time period. I wish it had had a lot more photographs. If you do genealogy or just like reading about people who helped settle Texas, I think you would enjoy this book.
