- Used Book in Good Condition
Cincinnati Cemeteries is not only a history of graveyards and their occupants. It also investigates the culture of death and dying in Cincinnati: from the infamous Pearl Bryan murder and the 19th-century cholera epidemics, to the body snatchers who stole the corpse of Benjamin Harrisonâ€™s father and the notorious â€œresurrection men.â€ In a city teeming with immigrants and transients these â€œsack â€˜em upâ€ grave robbers had ample opportunities to supply cadavers to Cincinnatiâ€™s medical schools. And if fresh graves werenâ€™t available, they lurked for victims in the saloons and the dark alleys of Vine Street and the West End.
