First sentence: "Presumably it was in the fall of 1852 or the spring of 1853 that a man drove a wagon and team to a country churchyard in the Indiana hill country.  In the bed of the wagon there was a newly carved monument made to mark the grave of one George R. Godson who had died on September 3, 1852.  The stone slab was removed from the wagon and put in place in the churchyard, known as Harmony Burial Ground.  This done the man returned to the wagon and left."
Description: Writen by an accomplished sculptor and college professor, the book describes the quest for the identity of the stone carver who carved exquisite headstones in the 1850s in and around Brown County, Indiana, but did not sign his work. A marvelous detective story. The story is both touching and sentimental. An important addition to the history of the midwest, and the pioneers of early Indiana.
