Book Overview
"A Concise History Of, and Guide Through Mount Auburn" offers a fascinating glimpse into one of America's earliest garden cemeteries. Published in 1843, this volume by Nathaniel Dearborn serves as both a historical record and a practical guide to Mount Auburn Cemetery, detailing its establishment, design, and significance. The book includes a catalogue of lots, a map of the grounds, and regulations concerning visitors and interments.
More than just a burial ground, Mount Auburn was conceived as a picturesque landscape, intended to inspire and uplift visitors. Dearborn's guide captures the spirit of this unique space, offering insights into the lives of those interred there and the evolving cultural attitudes towards death and remembrance. This work provides valuable historical context for understanding the development of American cemeteries and landscape architecture.
