Publisher's Synopsis
When considering old cemeteries, images probably rush through your head of apparitions, decrepit crypts, and toppled tombstones left to decay. In this exploratory book, you'll be taken on a journey into the strange, touching, and often humorous realm of New York's Hartsdale Pet Cemetery. Venture into America's oldest pet cemetery and find yourself lost within this beloved graveyard, where the smallest creatures and biggest critters from around the world find their resting places. From monuments towering upon a hill, to modest messages of sorrow etched into stone, the memorials left behind are as varied as the pets to which they're dedicated. You'll discover cats, dogs, horses, iguanas, even lions and tigers. Hartsdale's Peaceable Kingdom is the final home for America's most storied creatures, including canine war heroes, a jungle cat kept in an apartment, and a princess and her lion. These are just a few of the tales waiting beyond the gates. So, join us as we take you on an odyssey into America's most curious and offbeat graveyard, the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery.
