The death of a Kentucky cave explorer a century ago is being remembered as a catalyst for the formation of Mammoth Cave National Park. Cave City native Floyd Collins has been the subject of books, songs and even a musical since his death in 1925. His final days sparked international attention, but his legend continues today. Collins sat trapped for over two weeks in a cramped sandstone cave as thousands fixated on his rescue outside.
