Southern Oddities

Adamsville's lives up to its nickname, the "Biggest Little Town in Tennessee" as it was also the home of one of the most well know Sheriffs in history, Buford Pusser. In 1964, he was elected sheriff of McNairy County, ss soon as he was elected, Buford Pusser threw himself into his work. He first turned his attention to the Dixie Mafia and the State Line Mob, two gangs that operated on the line between Tennessee and Mississippi. Over the course of the next three years, Pusser survived several assassination attempts. He was shot, stabbed, beaten, blown up, and run over. His wife was murdered. He wrestled a bear (and won). and Through it all Buford was unstoppable. The Big-Stick-carrying "Walking Tall" sheriff of McNairy County, also has a museum in his honor.

Chillicothe is a city in the state of Missouri with a small population of just over 9,000 people. The name "Chillicothe" is Shawnee for "big town", From 1865 to 1870, the city improved rapidly, then a lull lasted until 1875, when the erection of the beautiful three-story, $36,000 school building was started, now known as "Middle School." From that time on Chillicothe made a slow, steady growth up to 1886, when the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad were built through town. That same year also saw the introduction of the "Water Works" and electric lights. The city continued to modernize in the early 20th century, and one of those modernizations, is an invention that still produces a commodity today, Sliced Bread.

On the scenic stretch of State Route 840, a white stone and brick structure rises through the trees on the west side of the road that looks like something from Medieval Times. Well it sort of is, its a castle known as Castle Gwynn. Its a replica of a 12th-century Welsh border castle and the private home of Nashville-native Mike Freeman, a portrait photographer, and his wife, Jackie, a retired schoolteacher. It’s also the location of the annual Tennessee Renaissance Festival each May.

Steamship boilers often exploded, fatally scalding passengers and crew, and furnishing maritime history with countless disaster stories. The sinking of the steamship Pulaski, which was advertised as the State of the Art Titanic of its time, marked as one of the first explosions of a coastal steamship, but with a romantic twist if a Brooklyn Eagle account of two survivors is more than a legend.
