The Outlaws of Cave-in-Rock (Shawnee Classics (Reprinted)): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Outlaws of Cave-in-Rock (Shawnee Classics (Reprinted))" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Exceptionally rare and valued by book collectors, Otto A. Rotherts riveting saga of the outlaws and scoundrels of Cave-in-Rock chronicles the adventures of an audacious cast of river pirates and highwaymen who operated in and around the famous Ohio River cavern from 1795 through 1820 (adventures featured in Disneys Davy Crockett and the film How the West Was Won). Once sporting the enticing sign Liquor Vault and House for Entertainment, this beautiful cavern location decoyed the unsuspecting by offering a venue for food, drink, and rest.Compellingly lively, The Outlaws of Cave-in-Rock is nonetheless the work of a scholar, a historian who documents his findings and leaves a detailed bibliographical trail. Presenting many eyewitness accounts, Rothert supplies the lore and legend of the colorful villains of Cave-in-Rock. Always maintaining the difference between stories he tells with historical authority and those that are pure speculation, Rothert provides both a fascinating narrative and a valuable regional history.
