Letters from the Mammoth Cave

By Joseph C. Douglas

"Letters from the Mammoth Cave provides a fascinating insight into a mid-19th century visit to Mammoth Cave by Alexander Clark Bullitt. Already familiar to many, Bullitt published one of the earliest, illustrated guides to Mammoth Cave in 1845 based on a visit in 1844. But his return in the second half of 1845 is less well-known. Joseph Douglas' collection of Bullitt's letters, published in the New Orleans Picayune in September and October, 1845, provide a fresh and engrossing look at one of the early narratives of the "Settlers," as Bullitt described his party."--Provided by publisher.
