<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>For some who were buried in Cincinnati's cemeteries, the graveyard is not the last stop on life's train.</p></b><br><p>While today Cincinnati is one of the most populous and prosperous cities in the country, its past was not always as bright as its present--from the infamous murder of Pearl Bryan and the 19th century cholera epidemics, to the body snatchers and notorious "resurrection men" who would steal freshly-interred bodies to sell to medical colleges, even going as far to steal the corpse of Pres. Benjamin Harrison's father. 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 for a hefty profit, and if fresh graves weren't available, they simply lurked for victims in the saloons and dark alleys of Vine Street and the West End. <i>Cincinnati Cemeteries</i> is not only a history of graveyards and their occupants, but also investigates the culture of death and dying in Cincinnati.</p>
