    Summary: 
    "Stories from the lives of the notable and the notorious who ended up in Halifax's five historic downtown cemeteries. When you stroll through its downtown cemeteries, ou meet all of Halifax's most notable historical figures: Joseph Howe, Alexander Keith, Sir John Sparrow David Thompson, Robert Stanfield, Viola Desmond, Fathers of Confederation and military leaders. And there's a fair number of scoundrels too: colonizers, murderers, crooks and even a few pirates. The most famous events to impact Haligonians play our in the cemeteries; the 1917 Explosion, the Titanic disaster, the wreck of the S.S. Atlantic, the American Revolution and the War of 1812. But there are also plenty of ordinary people, some of whom led extraordinary lives -- lives well worth exploring. [Writer, documentary filmmaker and the creator of the Twitter account '@deadinhalifax'] -- Craig Ferguson -- tells life stories he's selected from 250 years of Halifax history. Each of them illuminates an aspect of civic life. Together these brief portraits offer a fascinating path to discovering the good, the bad and the ugly about the city's past." --Back cover.
