Zusammenfassung:This book describes several dozen of the larger and more interesting caves developed along the North Cumberland Plateau Escarpment in Fentress, Overton, and Pickett Counties, Tennessee. Some of these caves were explored in prehistoric times by the Indians. Others were used by the early pioneers for the production of saltpeter, the main ingredient of gunpowder. Modern exploration began in earnest in the 1950s and continues today. This is the story of the exploration of these caves, told in the words of the original explorers and surveyors wherever possible. Caves of the North Cumberland Plateau chronicles the discovery and exploration of many large and interesting caves, including Mountain Eye Cave System, Wolf River Cave, Xanadu Cave, and Zarathustra's Cave with an emphasis on exploration by NSS members.
