Bannack’s dead rest (some say restlessly) in two cemeteries. The oldest, high on a hill within the town itself, served from 1862 to 1880. In 1876, residents began burying their dead in this “new” cemetery outside of town. It has over 60 graves, and in this image I show it after the snowfall, under a gradually clearing sky. It is as lonely and desolate as any cemetery I’ve seen, yet in this impression of it, the coming of deep blue skies make it seem almost inspirational.
