Samenvatting:

From its Native American and mission graveyards to its modern megacemeteries, San Diego County�s historical landscape has an incredibly diverse array of final resting places. Cemeteries of San Diego County takes the reader in-depth to reveal the region�s dynamic cultural history through dramatic modern photographs and never-before-seen vintage images of the county�s most sacred spaces�its lost and forgotten historical burial grounds. A number of these graveyards have disappeared entirely, erasing the last vestiges of too many of the region�s formative pioneers. This book uncovers the location of dozens of local cemeteries and reestablishes them as consecrated grounds.
