Since 1860, more than one thousand souls have been laid to rest in Monument's cemetery. This book shines a light on their stories: a shootout, a deadly train wreck, battlefield heroism, and the challenges of determined pioneers intent on making a new life in the Wild West. These are the lives that helped make Monument what it is today, one of Colorado's fastest-growing communities.


Rich in Colorado history, Shootouts, Killings, and War Heroes: The History in Monument's Cemetery is a must-read for anyone drawn to explore old graveyards. It may even inspire readers to visit Monument Cemetery.

About the Author

Weinfeld, Michael: - Michael Weinfeld lives in Monument with his wife, Tia M. Mayer. They moved here from Herndon, Virginia in 2018. Weinfeld worked for Associated Press Broadcast in New York City and Washington, DC for thirty-three years, starting as a news reporter, writer, and radio anchor before creating the AP's first entertainment division. He has interviewed hundreds of Hollywood's biggest celebrities. Weinfeld is now one of the editors of Our Community News, a local Monument newspaper, and despite living in Colorado, he remains a lifelong Red Sox fan.
Howe, John: - Cowriting the history of Monument Cemetery is but one of John Howe's volunteer projects. He is a board member and integral part of the town's monthly newspaper, Our Community News. He is on the board of the Monument Sanitation District, is a former member of the board of Trustees, and can often be seen around town wearing one of his trademark Hawaiian shirts.
