Publisher's Synopsis
A Collection of American Epitaphs and Inscriptions V1: With Occasional Notes (1814) is a book written by Timothy Alden. It is a compilation of epitaphs and inscriptions found on gravestones and monuments across America. The book is divided into sections based on the location of the gravesites, such as New England, New York, and Pennsylvania. The inscriptions provide a glimpse into the lives and deaths of the people buried there, including their names, dates of birth and death, and sometimes their occupations or notable achievements. The occasional notes by Alden provide historical context and background information on the people and events mentioned in the inscriptions. The book is a valuable resource for genealogists, historians, and anyone interested in the history of America and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
