3.0 out of 5 stars At Peace With Honor: SOME Civil War Burials of Laurel Hill Cemetery Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 11, 2008

This review is from: At Peace With Honor: The Civil War Burials of Laurel Hill Cemetery Philadephia, Pennsylvania (Paperback)

I enjoyed the book. The bios are not long but provide a reasonable amount of information about each veteran. The photographs are clear.

But I have some negatives, I think the title should have been "At Peace With Honor: Notable Civil War Burials of Laurel Hill Cemetery Philadelphia, Pennsylvania". I was expecting to see a list of all the Civil War Veterans buried at that cemetery. I was also disappointed to see some veterans listed without noting their regiment, how did the author know they were veterans?

BTW: Amazon should hire someone that knows how to spell "Philadelphia"

Laurel Hill Cemetery has always fascinated me, and I was VERY pleased to find that there was a book printed about the importance of some of the notables buried there. I hope that in the future there will be more books written about this wonderful Philadelphian monument that should NEVER be forgotten.
