Bowling Green, KY – A man who has spent much of his career exploring and writing about caves has written a historical novel about the life of mammoth cave guide Stephen Bishop. It's a unique book, written from the perspective of bishop's wife. Like her husband, Charlotte Bishop was a slave. Kentucky Public Radio's Dan Modlin has this report.
