Click here to listen to a recording of the names and ages of the 1,300 souls laid to rest in this section of Evergreen Cemetery in Leadville, Colorado.
Recorded in Allihies, Ireland—the home many once left behind—this may be the very first time their names have been spoken aloud in their own Cork accent. At long last, their voices are remembered, their dignity restored, and their presence honored.
