Overview

This book explores cemeteries that have hosted the departed since the early colonization of Maine. Hand-carved angels of death, thoughtful epitaphs, and even intrigue surround these old and unique burial sites. We also visit infamous grave sites such as the Jonathan Buck memorial in Bucksport. Buck, a forefather of the town of Bucksport, allegedly had a curse placed upon him by a condemned witch, as the book will explore. Witches, spirits, and many other Maine gravesites are explored along with the final resting places of famed authors, artists, and even gangsters such as Al Brady. Brady was awarded the title of Public Enemy No. 1 by the FBI as he led his gang on a multi-state crime spree that ended in Maine. Legends, hauntings, curses, scenic cemeteries, and unique gravesites are explored while discussing philosophies of the afterlife, writings of famous intellectuals, poetry, and exploration notes. Edgar Allen Poe wrote, ""The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?"" As Poe suggests, the answer to the age-old question of where we go from here is ambiguous at best, and this book maintains that ambiguity as it explores Gothic Maine.
