Western necrophilia

If you've ever been to Tombstone, Dodge City, or any of a dozen other storied western towns, you may have wandered through Boot Hills there. If you've wondered just where Wyatt Earp was buried, this site's for you. You may have known that Bat Masterson left the West to become a newspaper publisher, but did you know that he's buried in New York? So is George Armstrong Custer, by the way; his body was recovered from the Little Bighorn and buried at the cemetery at West Point.

Ain't the Internet fun?

I love to wander cemeteries. It's, apparently, a genetic trait in my family. :-)

You might find this site a nice one to peruse:
