Book Description
As pioneers attempted to settle and civilize the ?Wild West,? cemeteries became important cultural centers. Filled with carved wooden headboards, inscribed local stones, and Italian marble statues, cemeteries functioned as symbols of stability and progress toward a European-inspired vision of Manifest Destiny. As repositories of art and history, these pioneer cemeteries tell the story of communities and visual culture emerging together within the developing landscape of the Old West. Annette Stott traces this story through Rocky Mountain towns on the western frontier, from the unkempt ?boot hills? of the early mining camps and cattle settlements to the more refined ?fair mounts.? She shows how people from Asia, Europe, and the Americas contributed to the visual character of the mountain cemeteries, and how the sepulchral garden functioned as an open-air gallery of public sculpture, at once a site for relaxation, learning, and social ritual. Here, widespread participation in a variety of ceremonies brought mountain communities together with a frequency almost unimaginable today. Illustrated with eighty-three striking photographs, this book shows how the pioneer cemetery emerged as a site of public sculpture and cultural transmission in which each carved or molded monument played dual (and sometimes conflicting) public and private roles, recording the community?s history and values while memorializing individuals and events.

Book Description
Nestled within Tennessee's Central Basin, Moore County is the second smallest county in the state. Despite its size, it has brought fame to the area as the home of Jack Daniel and his distillery since 1866. By the time Moore County was created in 1871, Lynchburg was already well known. However, the story of Moore County goes well beyond Lynchburg. Images of America: Around Lynchburg shares the story of not only Mr. Jack but also the individuals and families who helped create the areas surrounding Lynchburg. This brief history is presented as an assemblage of photographs obtained from local residents, county archives and collections, and Jack Daniel's Distillery.
