Cemetery 104: An Early American Burying Ground Lost and Found (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218841874)

A desecrated historic cemetery, neglected for decades, stones smashed and strewn, meets a passionate team of cemetery restoration experts and one amateur, the author. What sense could be made of the hundreds of stone fragments scattered across the site? Could any of these grave markers be reassembled and re-erected? What explained the desecration? Who were the interred? Cemetery 104 chronicles the seemingly impossible reconstruction of the Schenck family burying ground-one of Long Island's earliest farming families, in historic Oyster Bay Town, New York. Replete with color photos, surveys and maps this book captures the scope of archeology and preservation. Both the book and the reconstruction have been described by one expert as nothing short of "Epic!". This is a must-read for cemetery enthusiasts, Long Islanders and colonial history buffs.
