As a college-age tour guide at Howe Caverns during the Seventies, Cobleskill author Dana Cudmore was asked this question often enough. Unknown to most, the answer is “yes.” His new book The Cave Electrician’s Widow: The Tragedy at Howe Caverns & Dramatic Courtroom Fight for Justice chronicles the April, 1930 tragedy and the legal battle that sought to hold those believed accountable. Part David vs. Goliath; part mystery, part courtroom drama, part travelogue through the fascinating underground realm of the caverns, the book reveals a little-known episode from the famous tourist destination’s remarkable past.
To celebrate publication, Cudmore will share the story’s highlights and sign books on Saturday, May 11 at 1p.m. at the Old Stone Fort’s Badgley Museum Annex. Refreshments will be provided.
