Full Description

This Place of Silence is a photographic portrait of Ohio's cemeteries and burial grounds by Ohio photographers Ian Adams and Randall Lee Schieber. The text and photo captions by Robin L. Smith provide an overview of the history of burial grounds, from prehistoric mounds through modern "green" cemeteries-and many fascinating details about gravestones, mausoleums, statuary, and cemetery landscapes.
The introduction provides an overview of the historical place of burial grounds in our society and of their value today not only as rich sources of history but also as repositories of art, architecture, and nature. Cemeteries record the history of their communities in their names and dates, but they also tell us how a community wanted its history recorded: How did this community see itself? What was important to that community? Who were the prominent people, and what did they accomplish? Graveyards, especially older ones, are also full of quirky names and mysteries. Who would name a child Nimrod, and where did that name come from? Why would two families build identical side-by-side mausoleums? Who would want a grave marker that looks like a pile of stones?
Chapters cover prehistoric mounds and early European American burial grounds; the evolution from rural cemeteries in the nineteenth century to modern green burials; art, architecture, and symbolism in cemeteries; cemeteries and nature; military and institutional burial grounds; and distinctive ethnic cemeteries.
The authors highlight and showcase these often beautiful but sometimes neglected pieces of history. Cemeteries are not dark, morbid places to be avoided, but historic landscapes that are full of beauty, hope, and honor for those Ohioans who came before us.
