Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book contains a collection of epitaphs and inscriptions from the graveyards of New England, a region of the United States known for its rich history and culture. The author, a minister and avid genealogist, set out to collect these inscriptions in order to preserve the stories of the region's earliest settlers and their descendants. The inscriptions, selected for their historical and literary significance, reflect on themes of death and dying, religious faith, personal identity, social status, and communal values of the time. Through these epitaphs, readers not only get a glimpse into the lives of individuals, but a sense of the social and cultural landscape of 18th and 19th century New England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
