Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For generations, enterprising people in the southern Appalachians have turned the region's extensive network of caves into a strange, fascinating genre of tourist attraction. Visitors pay admission to take a tour deep underground, learning a little about history and geology while puzzling over lit-up rock formations said to resemble anything from Niagara Falls to the Capitol dome. Then off go the lights, enveloping the travelers in total darkness--until the guide flips them back on and welcomes folks back into the safety of the inevitable gift shop. Show caves, as Douglas Reichert Powell explains in Endless Caverns, are at once predictable and astonishing, ancient and modern, eerie and sentimental. Their story sparks memories of a fleeting cool moment deep underground during a hot summer vacation, capturing in microcosm the history and culture of a region where a deeply rooted sense of place collides with constant change. Reichert Powell takes readers along on his journey through the past and present of Appalachia's show caves, highlighting the characters who have owned and operated them, the ways the attractions have developed and changed over the years, and the odd intrigue that still leads people to buy their ticket and head underground. Tourist tastes may shift as interstates whisk travelers past the backroads and on to trendier destinations, but the show cave--like Appalachia itself--endures.

Judges' Cave--Rimsbury Caverns--Moodus Xoises--Pictured Cave of La Crosse--Pickett's Cave, or the Cave of the Winds--Cave of Cacahuaniilpa--Canadian Caverns--Cliff-Dwellers--Conclusion. There are hundreds of imperfectly explored caves concealed amid the forests and crags of sparsely inhabited regions in the Western and Southern States. It is obviously impracticable to mention, however, every one that may even have acquired local celebrity. Published accounts are frequently too meager to be interesting, or else are exaggerated beyond belief. Hence it is difficult to obtain reliable data concerning some that are really noteworthy. The author takes this opportunity to say that he will gladly welcome information as to any portion of subterranean America, and may make use of it in some future publication. It is particularly desirable to collect facts concerning the various forms of cavern life, and those bearing on the manners and customs of the ancient lords of the soil. Many of the most interesting problems of geology and arehscology are yet to be solved by secrets now locked up in the bosom of unexplored caverns. It remains, in this concluding chapter, to group together accounts of several caves, alike merely in not having been already described in these pages. the judges' cave. The Judges' Cave, near New Haven, Conn., may properly be mentioned among celebrated American caverns; although, strictly, it is not a cave, but merely a shelter among some huge fragments of trap rock. Here, however, from May 15th to August 19th, 1601, Cols. Whalley and Goffe, two of the Regicides who once sat in judgment on King Charles L, and whom British spies were hunting to the death, found a safe refuge. The snot is a...

Book excerpt: Cave organisms are the ‘monsters’ of the underground world and studying them invariably raises interesting questions about the ways evolution has equipped them to survive in permanent darkness and low-energy environments. Undertaking ecological studies in caves and other subterranean habitats is not only challenging because they are difficult to access, but also because the domain is so different from what we know from the surface, with no plants at the base of food chains and with a nearly constant microclimate year-round. The research presented here answers key questions such as how a constant environment can produce the enormous biodiversity seen below ground, what adaptations and peculiarities allow subterranean organisms to thrive, and how they are affected by the constraints of their environment. This book is divided into six main parts, which address: the habitats of cave animals; their complex diversity; the environmental factors that support that diversity; individual case studies of cave ecosystems; and of the conservation challenges they face; all of which culminate in proposals for future research directions. Given its breadth of coverage, it offers an essential reference guide for graduate students and established researchers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1842, in the foothills of the Catskills, eccentric farmer Lester Howe and a neighbor began conducting lengthy and primitive explorations below ground at Howe's Scoharie Country farm. Each time the two returned, mud-covered, to the surface, they spoke of a cavern system that amazed them with its extent and complexity. Local Native Americans had known of the cave long before-they called it "Otsgaragee," the Cave of the Great Galleries-but Howe's chance rediscovery was the first chapter in the dramatic tale of one of America's oldest and greatest commercial caves. Just as dramatic as the caverns' features-walls of colored floorstone, gigantic columns of stalactites and stalagmites, murderously tight squeezes and vast open galleries-is the story of their evolution from natural wonder to tourist attraction. Noted natural historian Dana Cudmore examines this spectacular natural phenomenon, which is greeted by nearly a quarter of a million visitors each year. Packed with fascinating historical photographs, The Remarkable Howe Caverns Storyis a remarkable and compelling account of man's interaction with nature. "An interesting local history that should intrigue spelunkers and expand awareness of a site already well known to visitors of New York State's Leatherstocking region." ( Booklist) "Spelunkers and local history buffs will relish this engaging account." ( Publishers Weekly)
