The John Work family cemetery at Tunnel Mill Scout Reservation in Jeffersonville, Indiana. John was my six-greats grandfather.

If you ever get a chance, read this book. It's one of the better biographies I've read and is essentially what McMurtry used to write Lonesome Dove.

Outstanding history of Texas from 1865-1910 and includes quite a bit about Quanah Parker.

Yeah, that's the classic Goodnight bio. J Evetts Haley was quite a character. Did most of the leg work starting the PPH Museum in Canyon. Also wrote "A Texan Looks at Lyndon". Anti-LBJ book.

Was it common for smaller towns to have a mason or stone worker to engrave headstones? I've seen a few small family plots in central TX of German immigrants with decorated graves lined with sea shells. Quite an effort l, I'd imagine, for those back then.

Normandy American cemetery, Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific and Berchtesgaden's old cemetery.

Arlington National Cemetery

I think the coolest one I have seen in Texas is Scottsville Cemetery just outside of Marshall. Great architecture with lots of Civil War and even War of 1812 veterans buried there.

Normandy, Arlington, Savanna.

I spent a half day at Pere Lachaise in Paris. It is the most amazing cemetery I've ever visited.

Normandy American Cemetery was amazing and I couldn't help but really feel how somber a place it is. The German cemetery in Normandy is a very interesting place to visit, and VERY Germanic.

Beyond those two, I'd say Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, IL where Lincoln's tomb is and the Christ Church Burial Ground where Ben Franklin and other historical figures are buried are quite interesting.
