History: Don't judge a book by its cover How Prof. L. Akin judged a book by its worn, dusty cover - and learned "more than one great lesson" By Jim In early March 1915, the Adair County News informed readers that "Prof. Lafe Akin will lecture on music at the [Columbia] Baptist church Wednesday evening after prayer meeting. The object is to organize a class in vocal music, and Prof. Akin wants the people to know his qualifications to teach the principals of music and voice training...."The next week, the News reprinted a letter, penned by Prof. Akin, that originally had appeared in the Musical Visitor, a monthly magazine published in Cincinnati. In this missive, Prof. Akin gave the details of how two years earlier he had been good-naturedly schooled by Rev. I.M. "Pilgrim" Grimsley. At the time, Rev. Grimsley, a resident of Adair County for a decade or so, had a well-established reputation as an outstanding vocal music teacher.

Tom Chaney: Trapped, Collins and Fancher Of Writers And Their Books: Trapped: Collins and Fancher. Tom tells of the failed Collins rescue that assisted the formation of Mammoth Cave National Park, and the successful Fancher rescue which opened valuable channels of communication and respect. This column first appeared 8 May 2005. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Summer's Bounty By Tom Chaney Trapped: Collins and Fancher This year marks the 80th anniversary of the entrapment of Floyd Collins in Sand Cave. The players in that drama, which seized the attention of the entire world, have mostly followed Floyd into their own dank graves. I have been re-reading the most detailed book on the events of late January and February of 1925. The book is by Robert K. Murray and Roger Brucker and is called quite simply, Trapped. Although it has serious weaknesses, it remains the best account of one of the premier cave explorers of all time -- Floyd Collins.
