Description |
Mammoth Cave Views, No. 27 "Scotchman's Trap." Verso reads, Is on the road to the river, about 500 yards beyond the "Bottomless Pit." The trap is a small circular opening through which it is necessary to descend a few steps to go toward the river. Over this narrow opening is suspended a huge rock many tons in weight, which, if it fell would completely close up the avenue leading to the "Echo River." The guide in the picture is standing at the head of the steps. Published by E. & H. T. Anthony & Company, American and Foreign Stereoscopic Emporium, 501 Broadway, New York.
