Some Obscurish facts
#301
At the summit of Big Hill in the Cumberland Mountains in Jackson County, Kentucky, is a layer of carboniferous sandstone. In the 1880's it was crossed by a wagon trail that in time broke up the surface of the rock. When the resulting debris was cleared away, a series of tracks was discovered in this carboniferous layer about 300 million years old. There were imprints of a bear, something resembling a large horse, and two 'tracks of a human being, good sized, toes well spread, and very distinctly marked.' The prints were examined by Professor J.F.Brown of Berea College, Kentucky.
