William Floyd Collins, an American cave explorer, gained prominence in the early 20th century for his exploration and development of caves in Kentucky. He was a key figure in the Kentucky Cave Wars, a time marked by fierce competition among cave explorers and landowners aiming to capitalize on tourism to the caves. Collins famously uncovered Great Crystal Cave and endeavored to make Sand Cave accessible to the public. However, a devastating incident occurred in 1925 when he became trapped in Sand Cave, sparking widespread media attention and tragically resulting in his demise.
