Author Bio
Building on their previous book, Cemeteries of San Diego, which spotlighted the city's graveyards, authors David M. Caterino and Seth Mallios detail all of San Diego County's burial grounds in this volume. Caterino, an archaeologist and coordinator of the South Coastal Information Center, and Mallios, professor and chair of the anthropology department at San Diego State University, have pinpointed many lost cemeteries as part of the San Diego Gravestone Project. Their ongoing work in local graveyards endeavors to preserve local history and reconnect present San Diegans with the past.
