From its Native American and mission graveyards to its modern megacemeteries, San Diego County’s historical landscape has an incredibly diverse array of final resting places. Cemeteries of San Diego County takes the reader in-depth to reveal the region’s dynamic cultural history through dramatic modern photographs and never-before-seen vintage images of the county’s most sacred spaces–its lost and forgotten historical burial grounds. A number of these graveyards have disappeared entirely, erasing
the last vestiges of too many of the region’s formative pioneers. This book uncovers the location of dozens of local cemeteries and reestablishes them as consecrated grounds.
