Tombstone Tuesdays: The Political Graveyard

The Political Graveyard is a neat web site about U.S. political history and cemeteries. It is the Internet’s most comprehensive source for American political biography, listing 192,291 politicians, living and dead. The site includes  many federal officials, state officeholders and candidates in all 50 states, state and national political party officials, federal and state judges, and even mayors of some cities. Though the database is still  a continually ongoing project, what is there is fascinating. Besides the geographical groupings, the site also has an alphabetical index of politicians.  The Political Graveyard is created and maintained by Lawrence Kestenbaum, and is surely worth a bookmark!
