All of them used caves! Whether for hiding, for healing, or for harvesting, caves in the United States have been used in the weirdest, wackiest, and wickedest ways you could imagine. Today, caves are primarily used for one of three reasons: entertainment, exploration, or research. However, in our not-so-distant past, caves were used for a variety of reasons--from homes to speakeasies and breweries. Lost Stories of the Earth showcases the histories of the most interesting caves in the United States. This book takes you on a trip from the past right up to the present, from coast to coast, to showcase how caves are more than just something pretty to look at.
