The True Image

Klappentext A thousand unique gravestones cluster around old Presbyterian churches in the piedmont of the two Carolinas and in central Pennsylvania. Most are the legacy of three generations of the Bigham family, Scotch Irish stonecutters. Daniel Patterson documents the craftsmanship of this group and the current appearance of the stones, compares their iconography and inscriptions with those of other early monuments, and records the stones for future generations.
