History is the heart and soul of any place. In the past it had a heart beat, a pulse. Every place, person has a unique story. Grandview Cemetery is located in Bryan, Texas. This cemetery is one of the largest African American burial grounds in Brazos County with over 1000 people buried there. It had very hopeful beginnings with freed slaves, black business owners and veterans of several wars buried there.

There has been an African American presence in Bryan, Texas since early history, they played a major role in the development of the city. The current resting place of so many people is filled with garbage, over grown brush, weeds and so much more. The haunting image of Malinda Cunningham inspired the author to tell the stories of the dead, for the dead do tell tales. This book is dedicated to them.
