About This Item
Yale University Press, 1996-11-26. Hardcover. Like New. 6x0x9. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Light wear. Clean, unmarked pages. <br> When George Washington died in 1799, towns throughout the country commemorated the event with solemn processions featuring empty coffins. In contrast, after Abraham Lincoln's death in 1865, his body was transported around the North and displayed for more than two weeks, for by then corpses could be autopsied, drained of their blood, and beautified for the benefit of mourners. This absorbing book explores the changing attitudes toward death and the dead in northern Protestant communities during the nineteenth century.
