A Comment comment from Crown Hill Cemetery,
By Tom 1953 (Indianapolis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gatling: A Photographic Remembrance (Paperback)
As the developer of tours at Crown Hill Cemetery where Dr. Gatling is buried I found this book to be very useful. It has much more information about him than I have found anyplace else, though from my more narrow focus, it contained too much information about other family members. I especially enjoyed the photographs.Though I can offer no direct proof, I also want to comment that given the cemetery's practice of burying blacks in lots next to whites, even in the 1860s when the cemetery first opened, I question the veracity of of the statement about how difficult it was for Jordan to have his black cook buried in his family plot. But that is a rather small point. For any one interested in the inventor of the Gatling Gun, this has more information than anything else I have ever found.
