Review of 'Trapped! the Story of Floyd Collins' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I read Roger Brucker's "The Longest Cave" many years ago and really enjoyed it so when I saw Trapped! on Audible I really wanted to listen to it.
Actually, from Roger Brucker's other books I knew quite a lot about Floyd Collins's story and wondered if I had actually read Trapped! before. Even so I still wanted to listen to the audiobook.
Floyd Collins got trapped and died in a Kentucky cave in 1925 and at the time the story of his attempted rescue was the biggest news story in America.
This book is not only about the story of Floyd Collins but also about how subsequent retellings and contemporary reports twisted the story.
A really interesting story even you are not into caving.
