A feast of gravestones: Burial Hill, Plymouth

Take a break after the Thanksgiving dinner dishes are done and visit Burial Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts—if only virtually.

Here are two gems in the public domain, available through Google Books:

• The 49-page booklet (which sold for 25 cents in 1896) Handbook of Burial Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts: Its History, Its Famous Dead, and Its Quaint Epitaphs by Frank H. Perkins.
• Another 1896 book, Epitaphs from Burial Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts, From 1657 to 1892 by Bradford Kingman.

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow gravestoners!
