The story has often been told but this is the first account by the family of the explorer and those present at the time of Floyd’s horrific death.

THE CAVES BEYOND by Joe Lawrence Jr. & Roger Brucker (First Published in 1975) The Story of Floyd Collin’s Crystal Cave Exploration --- This book is a classic American adventure of caving and has become known, because of being so hard to find, as the “most stolen” book by cavers. It tells the gripping story of the first modern exploration of Kentucky’s Crystal Cave, which was discovered by Floyd Collins before his death. It would later be in this cave that Floyd’s body would be placed on display by unscrupulous promoters and where ghostly experiences connected to Floyd first began to be reported. All ghosts aside though, this is an excellent adventure story about this mysterious cave and is well worth adding to your collection. $12.95
