Presidential Grave Hunter

Tag along for a most unusual ride as the author recounts his life-affirming journey to these tombs and from elementary school neophyte to a college history major. With his zany, boundary-pushing father at the wheel, his journey was unorthodox. The straight-laced youngster found himself sneaking a camera past Secret Service Agents… Purposely locked in a cemetery enclosed with barbed wire… Handcuffed to the former Dallas homicide detective who was tethered to alleged JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald when he was shot by Jack Ruby. And most daringly, he (reluctantly) gained entry to a Vice president’s private family burial ground. In this history-driven memoir, Deion reconstructs his decades-long, cross-country quest and analyzes the evolution of his perspective on the commanders-in-chief and what it means to visit a cemetery.
