• W1495220811 abstract "This long-awaited publication by one of the most respected gravestone scholars of New England derives its title from the classic 1927 study Gravestones of Early New England and the Men Who Made Them 1653-1800 by Harriet Merrifield Forbes. Dr. Slater has dedicated his book to the memory of Mrs. Forbes, and to the memory of Ernest Caulfield, whose pioneering work in the study of Connecticut gravestones was published in twelve installments in the Connecticut Historical Society Bulletin between 1951 and 1967. Slater mentions in his introduction that the Society allowed him custody of Dr. Caulfield's unpublished manuscripts and papers, without which work could not have been accomplished. Certainly this is the most comprehensive publication on Connecticut gravestone carvers and burial grounds yet available. As the title suggests, this is really two books in one. first part is on the gravestone carvers. In 1976, Slater explained why it is important in material culture studies to accurately identify the work of individual carvers: Unless this is accomplished problems of cultural relationships, dominance and spread of ideas, interpretations of symbols and origins and diffusions of style are likely to contain serious errors and/or misinterpretations. . . . Further it seems to me that it can be very misleading to attempt to interpret cultural flow by analyzing changes in motifs in individual cemeteries as advocated by Deetz and others without at the same time considering how many individual carvers are involved and where they have come from. In Colonial Burying Grounds of Connecticut, Slater follows through on his earlier paper by looking first at the individual carvers, and then quantifying the various carvers' works in each cemetery. In part I, The Carvers, Slater has looked at eighteenth-century gravestones east of the Connecticut River and found they fall into four major categories: red and brown sandstones from the Connecticut River Valley; graniteschist gray stones from the inland heart of eastern Connecticut; slate stones from Boston and adjacent towns in eastern Massachusetts; and slate stones from Newport, Rhode Island, and adjacent areas in the Narragansett River Basin. individual carvers are then presented in their respective categories, determined by the kind of material with which they primarily worked. This alone is an enormous contr ibution to the field of gravestone studies. work of thirty-five different carvers is discussed in the section Eastern Connecticut Granite Carvers, with such endearing identifications as Ashford's Charlie Brown Carver, The Bozrah Devil Carver or Bolton Pudgy Matron Carver. In all of Caulfield's published works, fewer carvers were identified than in this first section of Slater's book. Part II of the book is devoted to the burying grounds. More than two hundred eighteenthcentury graveyards in sixty communities are discussed, presented alphabetically from Andover to Woodstock. There is a brief history of each town, and very specific directions for finding each burying ground. Under each town there is also a numerical tally of stones by identified carvers, sorted by burying grounds within the town. Thus we can see at a glance that, for example, there are 104 stones attributed to John Huntington in the Old Trumbull Burying Ground and only 33 in the" @default.
