Description
The cemetery in Langtry, Texas, home of the infamous Judge Roy Bean. I stumbled upon this cemetery from the old west days and it was such a surreal experience. The ground being too hard to dig, the bodies were covered with rocks and the graves marked with cactus instead of headstones. The mounds of those buried and the cactus marking their burials still remain over a hundred years later. The five cactus and their subsequent mounds represent five unmarked graves.
