A Graveyard Preservation Primer

Author: Lynette Strangstad
Stars: 3
Review by: Mandy Apgar

 A basic account of graveyard preservation. It gives an account of tombstone symbolism, early attitudes towards planning cemeteries, and gives advice on historic preservationists and hopefuls as to how to properly care for various kinds of memorials. Good, but a bit too simplistic for those who already have an interest. P.S. folks - do not make rubbings! It damages the stones and is the author's (and my) pet peeve within the field.
