There is a fascinating story about the potter's field on Hart Island in today's New York Times; here's a link to the story: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/24/nyregion/24hart.html?ref=nyregion The article says that it is estimated that 800,000 people have been buried on the island since 1869, with 1,500 added each year.
