WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE: A HISTORY OF THE OLD PROTESTANT BURYING GROUND, CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

Non-fiction by George Wright
Co-published with Old Protestant Burying Ground Inc.

Spanning several blocks and nearly four centuries, the cemetery known as the Old Protestant Burying Ground is prominently located in downtown Charlottetown. It is the final resting ground for up to 4,000 people who were interred between the late 1700s and 1873. The book chronicles the burying ground from its creation through to its closure and subsequent restoration efforts, and includes 60 short biographies of many of the Islandís most notable families.

George Wright has had a long history of interest in the Burying Ground, with at least nine direct ancestors buried there (great-great-great- and great-great-grandparents).
