Death and Dying in the Working Class, 1865-1920
Michael K. Rosenow investigates working people's beliefs, rituals of dying, and the politics of death by honing in on three overarching questions: How did workers, their families, and their communities experience death? Did various identities of class, race, gender, and religion coalesce to form distinct cultures of death for working people? And how did people's attitudes toward death reflect notions of who mattered in U.S. society?
Drawing from an eclectic array of sources ranging from Andrew Carnegie to grave markers in Chicago's potter's field, Rosenow portrays the complex political, social, and cultural relationships that fueled the United States' industrial ascent. The result is an undertaking that adds emotional depth to existing history while challenging our understanding of modes of cultural transmission.

The Albany Herald, Ga., Carlton Fletcher column
(Incidentally, the TV show \"$h*! My Dad Says\" was developed for CBS based on the book, but it was not in my Top 5 favorites.) I was thinking about one of my wife's Granny-isms that her grandmother raised her on the other day, and it dawned on me that, while we may dismiss the culture of people like the fictional Darlings as arcane and baseless, we all have family traditions and beliefs that are interwoven with superstitions and lore that would embarrass the Darlings.
