Mammoth Cave: Forgotten Stories of Its People
For most of the 1.5 million people who visit Mammoth Cave National Park yearly, the cave, forest trails, and Green River are the major attractions. However, few know of the small, isolated communities that once inhabited the area for more than a century before the park’s creation. Traces of these forgotten homesteads, now almost indistinguishable from the surrounding forests, are all that remain of these small communities.
Much of the information in Mammoth Cave: Forgotten Stories of Its People is sourced from court documents and personal interviews. Through this, author Norman Warnell writes about the struggles and livelihood of the who lived, loved, and died in this region, now within Mammoth Cave National Park. Their stories are telling sketches of early American pioneers and carefully detail the schools, industries, tragedies, and humor that surrounded their lives.
