Mammoth Cave

The top postcard reports-

This mummy of an Adena Indian miner was discovered in Mammoth Cave in 1935.  Radioactive Carbon 14 tests indicate that he lived 500 B. C. entering Mammoth Cave 2,375 years ago in search of gypsum.

The bottom one reads-

From this lofty stage of limestone, Edwin Booth recited from Hamlet to a group of cave visitors in 1872.
