Long Horn Caverns -Many stories and legends surround Longhorn Cavern. Several outlaws, including Sam Bass, are thought to have sought shelter here from the law they also used the vast network of caves to stash gold and silver. History records that Confederate troops during the Civil War made gunpowder from guano left behind by the millions of Mexican free-tailed bats that once called the cavern home. There is also the incredible story about a daring rescue by Texas Rangers of a beautiful young San Antonio-area girl who was kidnapped by Comanches and held in the cavern for ransom. In the 1920s and early 1930s part of the cavern was used as a dance hall, night club, and restaurant. #Texas #longhorncavern #longhorn #bandit #sambass #cowboy #legend #cave #cavern #explore #bat #comanche
