Summary:

Published by Binford & Mort and compiled by researchers Dean H. Byrd, Stanley R. Clarke, and Janice M. Healy, Oregon Burial Site Guide serves as a comprehensive genealogical and historical inventory of cemeteries across the state. The volume documents thousands of burial locations ranging from pioneer family plots and historic urban graveyards to remote rural resting places, providing precise geographic coordinates and historical context for each site. By systematically cataloging these final resting places, the text rescues forgotten local figures and early settlers from historical obscurity while mapping the shifting human settlement patterns of the Pacific Northwest. A keen insight drawn from the work is how regional cemeteries function as open-air archives of frontier demographics; the layout, marker materials, and clustering of these graves physically map out the waves of migration, epidemic diseases, and harsh environmental realities that shaped early Oregon communities long before modern municipal records were established.
