To celebrate the holidays we were going to take the week off, BUT INSTEAD we decided not to leave y'all hanging and wanted to give our loyal listeners something fun to talk about with friends and family this holiday season.

This episode, we read 2 incredible stories straight out of SC Turnbo's "White River Chronicles" both depicting what life was like back in the days of the frontiersmen and the antebellum Ozarks (pre-civil war). These are real stories that take place in our backyard in places whose names you will recognize.

The first story is about a prominent man, one of the original settlers who called the Ozarks home, who went hand to hand with a panther to defend his own life and his 5 year old son's life while out gathering honey one day.

The second story is about a man protecting his crop by battling a bruin, showing what life was like for our ancestors back in the time when defending your crop was defending your livelihood.

Both stories are wild and lots of fun and sure to give you something to talk about this holiday season. Enjoy and we'll see you in 2024!

Y’all give it a listen, and get out in the woods!
