Description
Three Crosses on the hillside near the Chimney Rock Cemetery in Nebraska.
The Chimney Rock Cemetery near Bayard, Nebraska preserves graveside markers from the massive western emigrant movement and a close-up of 19th century pioneers. Cholera, prevalent in the middle 19th century, killed more emigrants than any other type accident or disease. Across the road from the Chimney Rock Historic Site is the small cemetery, holding a few of the graves of those that died along the trail. All too often, pioneers did not receive a proper burial.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition.
