Boot Hill
Boot Hill (or Boothill) is the name for any number of cemeteries, chiefly in the American West. During the 19th century it was a common name for the burial grounds of those who "died with their boots on" (i.e. violently). Also Boot Hill graves were graves made for people who would die in a strange town, and not have assets to use on a funeral.
