Since I just received this book yesterday at the Tennessee Cave Survey meeting -- I have only had time for a quick thumb through -- but this is definitely a book for Cavers!

Yes indeed it is a fine book on the cave and area including historic , geologic, survey, and exploration sections on Big Bone Cave itself. One can read all about how the team surveyed the cave and the difficulties they faced. Much information about the geology of the area is also included as well as a wealth of information on the area caves. For anyone caving in this area the book should be "THE GUIDE" to what is there and how to find more caves.
Ron and John did a great job on this book and are to be congratulated for supplying it to Tennessee Cavers.
