Before Baby Jessica and the Pennsylvania miners, the major underground rescue story took place in Kentucky in 1925, when local caver Floyd Collins became trapped while exploring. But his story would be filled with an unbelievable series of bizarre twists and turns, painstakingly documented in this gripping book. If you've never heard Floyd's story before, you won't believe what you read, as his ordeal turns into a media circus - literally. Price, Charles Edwin. The Day They Hung The Elephant. Famed Appalachian folklorist Charles Edwin Price has written a comprehensive book on the 1916 execution of "Murderous Mary" the circus elephant in Erwin, Tennessee. His book is based on extensive interviews he conducted with surviving eyewitnesses. Price not only brings together all the facts, but also fills in the blanks with original dialogue so that the entire story reads like an exciting novel.
