It's Father Lachaise from New York. Bat Masterson, the sheriff who cleaned up Dodge City before he became a press man in New York, is buried there. And many others with him: players, sportsmen, avid amateurs from the first to the theatre, artists' agents. There's Herman Melville, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis. Bert Williams, who was the first to win a million dollars in vaudeville, is there, but his buddies Bat Masterson and Damon Runyon had to pass the hat to have him buried. Among the other residents for eternity, we can mention Admiral Farragut, the merchant F.-W. Woolworth, Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, Joseph Pulitzer, Alexander Archipenko (who sculpted his own cubist head), Congressman Vito Marcantonio, bacteriologist Hideyo Nohuchi, other mayors and, among four Confederate generals, Archibald Gracie, whose family home Gracie Mansion is now the residence of the city's mayors. A free map awaits you at the entrance. The easiest way to get there is to go to the last stop on line 4. The metro leaves the tunnel at Yankee Stadium and allows you to fly over the Bronx. The journey is dangerous at night for tourists, but correct during the day. The cemetery has a greater variety of trees than the city's two botanical gardens. During the Civil War, Woodlawn served as a fortification to support the retreat of Washington, from the northern Bronx River Valley to White Plains.
