Does anyone have info. on a Cave in the Rock on the Ohio River, where outlaws waited for riverboats and attacked them? The family story is that several cousins were murdered for a boat load of logs. Paula

Hi Paula, I can only help some. Cave-In-Rock is a well known place, I have been there several times myself. I am from Paducah, Ky, and have read some articles in the Paducah Sun regarding the infamous Cave-In-Rock pirates. You should be able to find out a great deal. The place is now a park located at the southern end of highway 1 in Illinois, at Cave-In-Rock. There is a ferry there that carries a lot of traffic across the river. Good Luck.
