More Tales Behind the Tombstone: More Deaths and Burials of the Old West's Most Nefarious Outlaws, Notorious Women, and Celebrated Lawmen
by Chris Enss
4 stars
I've always had a fascination with cemeteries and obituaries so this book was right up my alley. I'm glad women were included, especially women who were up to no good, because that doesn't often happen when looking back at the past.
While the photo itself of the shoes made from George Parrot's skin wasn't gross, the idea behind it is. Why would someone ever do that?
Quote from the Book
"While cemeteries house the dead, the tombstones record not only their pleasures, sorrows, and hopes for an afterlife, but also more than they realize of their history, ethnicity and culture."
