Floyd Collins got trapped in a Kentucky cave back in 1925. They spent
weeks trying to save him. A reporter went down there and interviewed the
poor guy. This total unknown became the subject of what was a media
storm back in the day. Of course there was no TV yet, no internet,
barely any radio, but lots of newspapers. Floyd Collins was on the front
pages of newspapers all over the country.
Roger Brucker is an expert on caves and he knows a lot about this
unfortunate fellow who got trapped in one a century ago.
The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public Library, Clark County Public Library, Dayton Metro Library, Wright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.
