What Lies Beneath features stories of pioneer cemeteries in the western states, written by local authors, revealing the tales behind the intriguing, lost, abandoned, forgotten, and earlies pioneer cemeteries. The author depicts the lives of these pioneers through archival images, essays, and family stories of locations and individuals whose deaths and history have been forgotten–or at least, abandoned. Readers will also learn about western graveyards, features on headstones, symbols, and burial traditions used by pioneers or early settlers.
