Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mammoth Cave, Kentucky The wonderful work of water of water in sculpturing the surface of the earth is matter of common observation and of common remark. Hill and valley, gorge, canon and waterfall, all have been seen in intimate relation; no rock so hard that it can forever resist the action of the stream; no mountain mass so great that it will not some time yield entirely to water;no valley so deep it may not be graven deeper or even filled to top by the transporting power of running streams. These changes all occur on the surface, and from our familiarity with them fail, often, to engage our close attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide Manual to the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky The object of the author of this little work is to place before the public, in a popular style, the Chemistry, Geology, and Zoology, of the Mammoth Cave, together with a brief description of all the rooms, avenues, domes, rivers, etc., that are worth the trouble of exploring. Anything like an accurate description of the Cave has not been attempted. In fact, such an effort, from the very nature of the subject, would be attended with failure. The beauty, sublimity and grandeur of the Mammoth Cave, to be appreciated, must be seen. The awful, overpowering silence, the deep darkness, together with a knowledge of the fact that the time which nature required to build this subterranean region is lost in the mists of infinity, produce a combination of emotions which are never experienced in the upper world. The sole object aimed at, has been to furnish to those who have never visited the Cave, some idea of its size and formation, and to those who wish to explore it, a guide-manual, which will do away with the necessity of taking notes, and from which they can select those point, which, should their time be limited, they are most desirous of visiting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial Guide to the Mammoth Cave, Kentucky In America, Nature seems to have purposely operated on a gigantic scale. Her Lakes, her Rivers, and her Mountains, may be instanced as an attestation of what we say. Greatness and sublimity characterize them all. Poets have sung their praises, tourists have described them in all the eloquence of prose, and painters have labored to illustrate them upon the canvas. They have been famed everywhere. But at the same time, an object of Nature, as sublime as beautiful, and as great as the Andes or the Mississippi, has been comparatively neglected, - we allude to the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. Little has hitherto been said of it by authors, less done towards familiarizing it to the Million, by the painter. It is with the view of filling up this blank, though it may be imperfectly, that the present work has been undertaken.

It is superfluous; because the public will examine and judge for them selves, and their Opinion will neither be forestalled nor propitiated by prefatory confessions. It is, in addition, open to the charge of mock-modesty; because no man should ask the community to read what he acknowledges is not worth reading; while, on the other hand, the fact of his publish ing' is a proof that his real and ostensible opinion differ.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Caverns of Kentucky: Diamond Cave, Mammoth Cave, Hundred Dome Cave The vast and beautiful caverns of Kentucky are justly ranked among the wonders of the world. During a tour in the South, in 1860, I availed myself of an opportunity to visit and explore three of the most noted ones, a description of which I will now attempt to give. These were the Diamond Cave, Mammoth Cave and the Hundred Dome Cave. They are near the Green River, in Barron and Edmonson counties, and all of them can be reached very readily by a ride of from two to eight miles from Glasgow Junction, a station on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, about ninety miles south of Louisville.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Subterranean Wonders: Mammoth Cave and Colossal Cavern, Kentucky The visitor to these caverns must not: forget the surface world when he walks through their immense gorges, their magnificent avenues, their Titanic halls, their star-bedecked domes. On every hand he will see a wealth of features which always emphasize the aspects of the outer world and explain them in a new language. He will see solution so slow that it is measured by tens of thousands of decades; he will note crystallization so tedious that he will be driven to madness should he attempt to compass the years that have passed since the process began. Should he question the fossil forms which sometimes thickly stud the cliffs and ledges along which he will pass, they might tell to him a story beside which the wildest creation of the Orient would appear but as a tale of the nursery. In a thousand ways will he be impressed with the persistency of Nature's force ful methods. If he be a man accustomed to reflection he will come to the upper world a wiser man; if he be of poetic turn the sombre shades through which he has just passed, the great avenues opening beyond into regions of infinite gloom, the lovely crystals of purest ray serene that reflect the radiance of his light into still another corner of eternal darkness, and instead of revealing its outlines or a new beauty but extends its bounds, then his fancy will take a new direction and his poems a different tenor.
