Published in 1916, this illustrated edition of Penns Grandest Cavern begins with several legends of Penns Cave and the surrounding area, followed by a description and history, all compiled and written by Henry W. Shoemaker. His description of the caverns reads like a travel guide, with information about not only the cave but also its formations, such as The Lobsters Claw, Statue of Liberty, and Garden of the Gods. Shoemaker provided his readership with advice on the best ways to travel to the cave, including appropriate trains to take, and a review of the accommodations there. A history traces the ownership of the property and details its exploration and development into a tourist site. Shoemaker also noted how Penns Cave compared to other local caves and their development. This volume presents seven of Shoemakers stories relating to Penns Cave and Penns Valley, including two of his most famous legends: The Legend of Penns Cave and Nita-nee: The Indian Maiden for Whom Nittany Mountain Was Named.
