California's Eastern Sierra region, encompassing Inyo and Mono Counties, is a paradise of striking contrasts and beauty. Early settlers came to this area--now known chiefly for recreational activities such as fishing, hiking, and skiing--for its mining and agricultural prospects. Towns like Bodie, Lundy, and Keeler rose with the promise of quick riches but failed when the promise dimmed. Throughout this unique landscape are sprinkled the poignant resting places of early pioneers. Reflecting the diversity of the natural setting, the area's cemeteries range from the Mono County Cemetery overlooking Mono Lake to the overgrown cemetery at the Civil War-era Fort Independence to the garden cemeteries of Bishop. The monuments in these cemeteries, along with the beautiful country that surrounds them, honor the men and women who once carved lives out of this rugged wilderness.

Cemeteries are more than final resting places for the dead; they are gateways to an area's shared history. Every hand-carved granite or marble monument, every faded wooden marker, holds a clue. Western Sierra populations boomed with the discovery of gold and often dwindled as gold fever waned. Cemeteries of the Western Sierra uses the lens of the cemetery to glimpse a rich and disappearing history. Displaced indigenous populations, miners, dueling newspaper magnates, Chinese pioneers: all are part of the mosaic of history represented in a historical cemetery. From solitary graves in the forest to almost forgotten graveyards near the center of a town, cemeteries tell a story not just of who may have died but also of who lived and what was meaningful in their time.

EAST CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CALIFORNIA Established in 1878, the Byron-Knightsen-Brentwood Union Cemetery provides a final resting place for early pioneers, farmers and entrepreneurs in the upper San Joaquin River Delta. First established at Point of Timber, Colburn Preston sold 4 acres to the new cemetery district. Burial service began immediately as 7 bodies were disinterred from the nearby Sylvester Wills property at Point of Timber for reburial at the new location. The cemetery's most famous burial is that of pre-gold rush pioneer, Francis E. Wilder, née Donner (1840-1921). She is one of only five surviving daughters of the George and Tamsen Donner Party to escape the Sierra Nevada tragedy of 1846-1847. Here you will find 19th Century gold miners, grain barons, educators, booster newspaper editors, and the first woman licensed as a mortician in California. History comes to life as you visit one of the oldest cemeteries in the California Delta.
