Book Description

Series: Story Behind the Scenery | Publication Date: May 7, 1991

From the time-worn dirt left by ancient rivers to the slender stone pillars of a gothic chapel, the cave seems to whisper the best-kept secrets of the ages.

Mammoth Cave National Park, located in south central Kentucky, was first set aside in 1926. In 1972 it was pronounced the longest recorded cave system in the world.
