{"product_id":"spring-grove-cemetery-and-arboretum-joy-neighbors-9781634996211","title":"Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum: A Step Back in Time","description":"This book explores the rich history and beautiful imagery of Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum in Cincinnati, Ohio. Chartered in 1845, 450 acres are beautifully landscaped, with another 300 acres in reserve, making it one of the largest non-profit burial grounds in the U.S. With poignant photographs, the book illustrates how the deceased are memorialized with symbols, sculptures, epitaphs, and engravings. But not all gravestones follow tradition; some are considered controversial for their unconventional symbolism.\u003cbr\u003eSpring Grove is the final resting place for a diverse group of congressmen, politicians, \"beer barons,\" Olympic medalists, entertainers, writers, and media figures, along with sixteen infamous women and one dog. Interred within are 999 Civil War soldiers, both Union and Confederate, along with more than forty generals including Hooker, Lytle, Cook, and Cox.\u003cbr\u003eAmong its most captivating monuments are the Dexter Mausoleum, Fleischmann Temple, Soldiers Monument, and the Norman Chapel, which once served as a jail. As one artist remarked, \"Only a place with a heart and soul could make for its dead a more magnificent park than any which exists for the living.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joy Neighbors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1634996216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781634996211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e America Through Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.39w x 0.33d","brand":"Joy Neighbors","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517078352127,"sku":"9781634996211","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c374b382-4d1b-4e78-a08d-4219d3f3b9a6.jpg?v=1778729751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spring-grove-cemetery-and-arboretum-joy-neighbors-9781634996211","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
