A Preview
"See that stone building in the trees? That's a tomb. In a public park. And it's not empty. Welcome to the part of the tour where I tell you that you're walking through a cemetery. This was the Chicago City Cemetery from 1843 to 1866. About 35,000 people were buried here. The city told families to dig up their relatives and move them. Most did. The Couch family did not."
