Summary: Best over-all comprehensive cemetery guide in all 50 states
Review: Never before has a book been so complete and the subject researched more thourghly, than Wommack's From The Grave. Three years of research has produced information for more than 350 cemeteries and mini-biographies of over a thousand pioneers interred in Colorado's cemeteries. Cemetery information, maps, directions, all round out this wonder book. A must read for the historian and genealogist. Humorous epitaphs and ghost stories are an added treat.

Summary: Research
Review: The amount of research that went into this book is absolutely incredible. I am native to Colorado and have lived here most of my life. I am so glad to see that someone finally took an interest in the peaple who made this state what it is. Besides the fact that it is so easy to read. One Great Book.

Summary: ERRORS IN BOOK ABOUT GOVERNOR WAITE; a.k.a. BLOODY BRIDLES
Review: This book contains interesting data, yet lacks in historical facts about the origin of the nick-name Bloody Bridles, given to Governor Waite in 1893. The book states the nick-name was given for his defense of Populist programs. NOT TRUE !!! Governor Waite was called Bloody Bridles for a speech he gave on July 11, 1893; against the impending repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, that de-monitized Silver. To see more on this subject; GoTo YAHOO search engine- Enter THE GHOSTWALKER; click on Aspen icon, wait to load sound.... The story of BLOODY BRIDLES and his monument will tell the truth.....
