Description
A speed boat pulls up to the shoreline at Cave In Rock.
Sitting along the banks of the Ohio River in a quiet little town in southern Illinois is a cave called Cave-In-Rock. The first recorded history of Cave-In-Rock was in 1739 by French explorer M. DeLery who mapped the limestone cave and named it, “caverne dans Le Roc” which after being translated to English is still the name it bears today. Although much of its history is unsubstantiated, the local folklore that surrounds this cave started almost immediately after its discovery and tells a story of riverboat pirates, bandits, fugitives, and murderers.
