The Cemeteries of Westchester County
Patrick J. Raftery
A comprehensive reference work of the County's cemeteries, as well as a detailed history of the families who have settled here over many generations. From the foreward by cemetery expert Gray Williams: "Patrick Raftery has made an enormous contribution to the history of Westchester with this definitive catalog of all its known churchyards, family graveyards and public cemeteries, including both those that still exist and those that have disapppeared. He has combined exhaustive documentary research with painstaking observation and photography to provide what will unquestionably prove to be an enduring reference. But from his detailed descriptions there also emerges a revealing account of how the commemoration of the dead has evolved over the centuries and of how this evolution reflects changes in society itself." | |
