24. Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb? A Tour of Presidential Gravesites by Brian Lamb
This was on the clearance rack at Hasting's for $3. What a bargain! I loved this book. For some reason, I think cemeteries are really interesting and this book had pictures of all the presidential tombs. It also gave the circumstances of each death and their last words. It even gave information on where each tomb was located, the telephone number and visiting hours of the cemetery, and information for all of the presidential libraries. I'm going to keep this one for a reference. Truman's presidential library and burial site is pretty near here, in Independence, Missouri and I would like to visit it some time. Independence is also the location of an LDS historical site and Visitor's Center, so there is a lot to see there.
