Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
The irresistible lure of caving actually hit me in a small cave a few miles north of Carlsbad Caverns. This was in 1933 in Little Spider Cave when I was twenty-three years old. For the first time I crawled up an unexplored tunnel, negotiated a tight pinch, and stepped out into virgin cave stretching far beyond the limits of my flashlight. For the first time I knew the thrill of "She goes!"

Carlsbad, Caves and a Camera
Seller: Michael Patrick McCarty, Bookseller, New Castle, CO, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Trade paperback. Condition: Good. In Carlsbad, Caves, and a Camera the author, a professional photographer, recalls his cave exploration while a young man in the 1930's. This is the story of amateurs who plunged, inexperienced, unadvised, and unguided, into the underground, who met their problems as they arose, and who bungled their way into competence. It is the thrill of penetrating the unknown, with the threat of danger ever present in the darkness beyond. It is the thought of boundless beauty, lost for aeons in darkness, until the feeble light of the explorer brings it into view. It is the surge of pride in knowing that no human beings had been there before. It is a story of people simply having fun. This book is a deeply felt tribute to a way of life and a part of nature that have almost disappeared from our experience. The author, who learned cave photography as apprentice to Ray V. Davis, the first Carlsbad Caverns photographer, kept a visual and written record of these explorations. As a result, we have an intimate written account of what these young men saw, what they said, how they felt. Seller Inventory # SKU2010024716
