Description:
Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Table of Contents When author/photographer Douglas Keister's book Stories in Stone came out in 2004, Sunset magazine stated, ""Keister has done for cemetery exploration what Audubon did for birding."" Since then, cemetery fans have been clamoring for more. Keister has answered them with Forever Dixie, an exploration of thirteen of the South's best cemeteries and forty notable southerners who have chosen to call the South their permanent home. Forever Dixie gives cemetery explorers GPS directions to the graves of famous southerners such as Martin Luther King Jr., Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Colonel Sanders, Casey Jones, Johnny Mercer, and dozens more. Also featured are interesting and unique graves of ordinary citizens like Thelma Holford of Jonesboro, Arkansas, who commissioned an Italian marble statue of herself and her beloved dog, Bunnie. Forever Dixie is a great gift for all those who call America's southern states home and for those who may have moved but whose hearts, souls, and roots still live in the South. Come along on a sentimental journey through twelve of the Deep South's loveliest cemeteries (plus a coon dog graveyard). Photos and features on famous Southerners as well as everyday citizens include the following: Martin Luther King Jr.Tammy WynetteColonel SandersCasey JonesJohnny and June Carter CashU.S. presidentsConfederate generals and soldiersAuthors, film stars, and sports figures In fascinating stories and images, Keister tells about cemetery symbols, funerary architecture, and secret societies and clubs. He also provides GSP coordinates to pinpoint each cemetery and most gravesites featured in the book: Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah, GeorgiaCave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, KentuckyCharleston Churchyards, Charleston, South CarolinaElmwood Cemetery, Memphis, TennesseeHollywood Cemetery, Richmond, VirginiaKey Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard, Tuscumbia, AlabamaMagnolia Cemetery, Charleston, South CarolinaMetairie Cemetery, New Orleans, LouisianaMount Holly Cemetery, Little Rock, ArkansasNashville City Cemetery, Nashville, TennesseeOakland Cemetery, Atlanta, GeorgiaOakwood Cemetery, Montgomery, AlabamaOakwood Cemetery, Raleigh, North Carolina Forever Dixie is perfect for those whose hearts, souls, and roots forever reside in Dixie.
