entrance to Mammoth Cave and its
opening is on the west side OF

gion abounded in deer and turkey
and in the Sixties a hunter following
a wild turkey came upon 1t ana
Judging from the well beaten tra'l
that led to it decided that some large
animal made it's home there.
The hunter, whose name long mas
been forgotten, lay in wait and ABOUT
dark saw a negro man emerge from
the entrance, get water from a near
by pond and pick up some brush ana
sticks and then return to his under
ground abode.
The negro, who was captured the
following day, wore a quilt wrapped
about his Ioins and had on tattered
coat, admitted he was runaway
slave on his way to Canada, but hav-
ing found the cave decided to make
his home there. He had built OF
stones small furnace in the cave
and this and a kettle and an old
bucket and a pile of straw completed
his housekeeping equipment.
The runaway was sold to Bob Fos-
ter, a slave trader, who carried him
to his plantation in Georgia instead
Of selling him again, and taking a
fancy to him gave him his freedom
some years later.
