DOWNLOAD EBOOK“A fascinating story.” —LeVar Burton The thrilling adventures of a slave who became known worldwide for his explorations of Mammoth Cave. If you toured Mammoth Cave in Kentucky in the year 1838, you would have been led by candlelight through dark, winding tunnels to the edge of a terrifying bottomless pit. Your guide would have been seventeen-year-old Stephen Bishop, an African American slave who became known around the world for his knowledge of Mammoth Cave. Bishop needed bravery, intelligence, and curiosity to explore the vast cavern. Using only a lantern, rope, and other basic caving equipment, he found a way to cross the bottomless pit and discover many more miles of incredible grottoes and tunnels. For the rest of his life he guided visitors through the cave, showing them how to stoop, bend, and crawl through passageways that were sometimes far from the traditional tour route. Based on the narratives of those who toured the cave with him, Journey to the Bottomless Pit is the first book for young readers ever written about Stephen Bishop. New to this edition: A free teacher’s guide to this book, as well as an interview with current-day Mammoth Cave guide Jerry Bransford, great-great-grandson of Stephen Bishop’s fellow guide, Mat Bransford.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is for children ages 9 and up, and it also appeals to adults as did the Laura Ingalls Wilder and Harry Potter stories. The kids from the previous book, The Cave of Healing, arrive at Mammoth Cave and are soon confronted with big problems. Because these kids can magically reduce their size to even an inch tall, they become the heroes of the Cave's search and rescue operations. The author was assisted by Mammoth cave explorers and the Cave staff in getting the geology, geography, speleology, and hydrology of the Cave right, as well as authentic actions of cave guides and rescue teams. Roger Brucker, one of the most famous cave explorers in the world, said, "This is a gripping tale, full of fun and adventure." Midwest Book Review calls it "An engrossing story to delight readers of all ages."
