Monument Mania Across the World A Chronicle of Odd Memorials
A survey of strange monuments from Mayfield Kentucky to Vimoutiers France details life size statues of buried family pets in a Kentucky cemetery, a Camembert cheese monument in Normandy, and a barn of trophies honoring horses, cows, pigeons, and dogs. It notes memorials in Alaska and Utah, plus grim skulls for Soapy Smith and a Wyoming outlaw, ending with Segis Pietertje Prospect the legendary prize cow and her breeder Carnation Milk Farms.
