The original edition won the Historic Preservation Book Award and an ASLA Merit Award.
The new edition of this classic history of America’s first rural cemetery has been expanded and completely redesigned in a larger format, with new photographs and a new epilogue that carries the story forward into the twentieth century.
Praise for the original edition:
“No one in the future will be able to write about nineteenth-century cemeteries in the United States without first studying this book. . . . Silent City on a Hill is a lavishly satisfying scholarly book.” —Journal of the Society of Architectural Historian |
