The Ancient Native American Found 2.5 Miles Inside Mammoth Cave — And The Mystery Of Why His People Went So Deep Underground

The historic period began.
European Americans came to Kentucky, found the cave, worked it for saltpeter, opened it to tourists, installed lights and trails and handrails and visitor centers.
And then, on the morning of June 7, 1935, Lyman Cutliff and Grover Campbell climbed a ledge near Waldack Dome and found him still there.
