Burnsville Cove -- The Discovery and Exploration of the Butler Cave-Sinking Creek System -- BCCS: The Organization -- Exploration of the Outlet Caves -- The Discovery and Initial Exploration of the Chestnut Ridge Cave System -- The Bobcat Camps.

Overall, the book offers a unique combination of exploration and science by a conservation organization specifically dedicated to the preservation and study of the caves. |
