Welcome to my Pioneer Graves site. This is a collection of photos I've taken over the years in the old, sometimes neglected cemeteries of the Western U.S. mining towns. Most are from the gold towns in California along Highway 49, but there are also many from the deserts, Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, and a few other states. Feel free to register and add your own pictures to your user gallery. Registered users are allowed up to five megabytes of storage here. As always, please let me know of any errors you find here. You can do so via email or in the forum on my site.
