When it was founded in 1860, Chicago's Graceland was hailed as the most "modern" cemetery in existence and "the admiration of the world." Now known as the "Cemetery of Architects" because so many notable ones are buried there, Graceland remains a heavily visited attraction. This richly illustrated book uncovers how the influential and still beautiful landscape was developed over many generations, casting new light on the careers of several important landscape architects.
