Laramie, Wyoming

Focus on Green Hill Cemetery:  Annette Stott, in her book Pioneer Cemeteries, notes that "before the advent of art museums, public libraries, or civic sculpture, the western cemetery functioned as a repository of art and history." That continues to be true. The art on this headstone communicates a powerful sense of place that arises from the realms of history and economic geography. [2013]
