Anatomy of Local Graveyards at the Royal Oak Public Library

On Tuesday, October 2 at 7:00 pm, local author, Richard Bak, will be on hand to discuss his book, “Boneyards: Detroit Under Ground”. From the earliest burial mounds to today’s simple street shrines, Bak’s book reveals how Metro Detroiters have interred their dead and honored their memory. He presents a mix of historic and contemporary photographs to illustrate each site or event alongside lively prose descriptions. His informative and often surprising historical snapshots span the entire metro area and three centuries of history. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing after the talk.
