One thing you need for a cemetery is well-drained land. "Boot Hills" just outside (and overlooking) frontier towns were lesser-valued plots unsuitable for farming or building part of the town on. Churchyard cemeteries are typically within town limits.

How did boot hill get its name?

Boot Hill got its name from the graves of cowboys and outlaws who died with their boots on, often due to gunfights or violence in the lawless frontier towns of the American West. The term became associated with cemeteries in these towns, where many of the deceased were buried in their footwear. The most famous Boot Hill is located in Tombstone, Arizona, but several other towns also have Boot Hill cemeteries. The name reflects the rugged and often dangerous lifestyle of the era.

What are the ghost towns of the great plains?

The ghost towns of the Great Plains are abandoned communities that once thrived during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often due to factors like economic decline, drought, and changes in transportation routes. Towns such as Bodie in South Dakota and the remnants of Elkhart in Kansas serve as reminders of the region's pioneer history and the challenges settlers faced. Many of these towns feature crumbling buildings, old cemeteries, and artifacts that illustrate the lives of their former inhabitants. Today, they attract visitors interested in history and the stories of the American frontier.
