Cincinnati Cemeteries is not only a history of graveyards and their occupants. It also investigates the culture of death and dying in Cincinnati: from the infamous Pearl Bryan murder and the 19th-century cholera epidemics, to the body snatchers who stole the corpse of Benjamin Harrison�s father and the notorious �resurrection men.� In a city teeming with immigrants and transients these �sack �em up� grave robbers had ample opportunities to supply cadavers to Cincinnati�s medical schools. And if fresh graves weren�t available, they lurked for victims in the saloons and the dark alleys of Vine Street and the West End.
