Richmond, Virginia's Hollywood Cemetery tells countless stories, and, in his new book, John Peters reveals many of them. Although Hollywood has long been viewed quite legitimately as a southern shrine, there are other aspects of the cemetery that make it unique. Starting with Hollywood's role as one of America's great rural cemeteries and its incomparable setting on the mighty James River, Peter's narrative includes intriguing stories about the ironwork, stone carvers, mausoleums, and symbolism, to mention only a few. Many of Richmond's-indeed Virginia's-professional, business, political, and creative leaders over the past 160 years share the land with the 18,000 Confederate dead buried there. As Dr. Edward L. Ayers says in his foreword to the book, they "speak to us still."

Recently visited Hollywood Cemetery and was lost wandering around. I bought this book and have read it twice and now my wife is reviewing it in advance of our upcoming 2nd visit to Hollywood. Now I know where to go and the story behind many of the plots and markers. The book is an excellent read and great pictures and explanations for all time periods of the cemetery. I really like this book, it was as advertised.Product details

Thanks for the fast delivery! Bought this as a gift and my friend is very pleased with it. Beautiful book with tons of info and wonderful pictures.
the book spent a lot of time talking about the finances and the running of the cemetery and very little time on the famous people buried there !
Very good information on Hollywood Cemetery with pictures.
Great book especially if you ever have the privilege to visit the beautiful cemetery where you are sure to be intrigued by it's magnificent history.
