<v Speaker 2>distinguished guests. We have aligned everybody Todays, so it's the exploiters.

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.000

<v Speaker 1>You never heard this story before.

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.919
<v Speaker 5>No, I I yeah, I went into it completely because yeah,

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.200

<v Speaker 4>I'm moderately biased.

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Moderately biased.

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well it's fair.

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.720

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 2>and and so anyway, you guys had done some stuff

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 2>on the redesignation of the river and so good to

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 2>have you, man.

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate it.

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And now you're tell us about your podcast.

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 4>What do you want to know?

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 5>Plug?

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 4>Little plug? Just yeah, well a couple.

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 6>Of years ago, we were Kyle Vett and I were

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 6>really getting into bow hunting and bear hunting and fishing,

0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 6>and realized that all of the media and all the tacks,

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 6>we're not for here, and so that kind of kicked

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 6>us into this whole world of trying to figure out

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 6>how to kill big deer and how to kill big bear,

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 6>and how to catch big fish in the Ozarks. And

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 6>one thing led to another, and we started uncovering the

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 6>history and the people and the conservation and the stories

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 6>and realized the Ozarks are way more than just a

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 6>pretty place to recreate in. It's a really really amazing

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 6>place to live and a really really amazing place to

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 6>come from. So we're both I think we're six and

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 6>seventh generation Ozarkers, so like years and years of family

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 6>heritage in this area, all that kind of stuff. And

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 6>so we interview guests who talk about the Ozarks pretty

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 6>much anything we find interesting, we go find somebody talk

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 6>to in that interview.

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>So, well, you guys are doing a good job. I

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it, but we don't want anybody to move here.

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>So stay where you're at. This is a terrible place.

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 4>Good to have you.

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Kyle thanks, Misty Langdon, you're really the guest of honor, Missy.

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Well true true story, true story.

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 7>Careful you let it go to my head.

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 2>No, So, Misty was on on the was on the

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 2>on the feature guests on. Josh is really jealous of

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 2>people that are feature guests on because he never has been.

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 8>Still.

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 5>Has pustache, has a T shirt.

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>But to be able to be a feature, to be

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 1>a feature guest means that you like have like, you know,

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 1>a fairly substantial contribution to the to the to an episode.

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 5>Clay hasn't figured out what I can contribute.

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>But but Misty was. So you were on both of them.

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 2>You were on both episodes. And and I told this

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 2>to Misty beforehand. I was I want to hear any

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 2>place I got it wrong, any place.

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>That uh, there's any you know you brought the story.

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>The story needs some fixing. Yea, she has, Uh, she has,

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>she has a few things, I'm sure, but uh. And

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and my wife, Misty will tell you that you were

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the person I was most I was most like man.

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I hope, I hope Misty is okay with this. It's true,

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>it's true.

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 7>Maybe maybe you think I'm the meanest.

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>No, I just, I just you're not too afraid.

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe that's it.

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 4>He's scared of girl's name, Missy.

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.719

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you guys did a great job.

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah we did.

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>We did, of course did a great job without Yep.

0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 4>We should make a habit of that.

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I would love to not be here sometimes we would.

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 9>Okay, everybody in we're in.

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Uh uh So you left off one guest, Oh Tim.

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if on the video he can't figure

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>out whether or not see Tim, Tim the squirrel dog.

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you a quick story about Tim the

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 2>squirrel dog. Since we're all here, this dog was bought

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>at the same time as another squirrel dog of similar

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>similar lineage. You'll like this, like because your dog man, Brent,

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 2>your dog man, uh, and the other dog was way better,

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>like way more natural ability, to the point that we

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 2>had to keep her up, you know, kind of had

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 2>to pend her up because she would she would run

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 2>off and hunt and she would be gone. This lazy

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 2>dog stayed, stayed around the house and like worked its

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 2>way into becoming like the favorite dog in our family.

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 8>Well it's waiting to becoming an actual member of the family, yep.

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.839
<v Speaker 2>But because of this dog's the dog never goes in

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the pen, because of its exposure to squirrels around here,

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 2>this dog is in a really good squirrel dog, tim

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you see, almost as good as like the Michael Jordan dog.

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>And that's an exaggeration, but for me, the Michael Jordan

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>dog I had.

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>So the take home.

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Is is that exposure and practice, Like that dog knows

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 2>what a squirrel's thinking right now, Like he knows that

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>that squirrel that lives over there will be down at

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 2>four point thirty to eat you know, horse apples out

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>of that bow.

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Dark over there.

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Tess is like Michael Jordan, tons of ability, great nose,

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 2>great instinct, great tree power, great drive. So exposure can

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>almost with just like natural talent. And that's where Brent

0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 2>comes in, because Brent has no natural talent.

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 7>Just a.

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but I beat all those charges.

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 5>The moral of the story, anybody can succeed. That's right, Abody, Yeah,

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 5>that's right.

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I had to give Tim a plug.

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 7>There lebron So you've got Michael Jordan's and.

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Lebrony just there you go, there you go. So Phelps

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 2>is coming out with a new deer call.

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 4>That's a great segue. Yeah, yep, left turn.

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Talking about Michael Jordan. Yeah, this is uh so last

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 2>year we came out with the Akron grunner spelled the

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 2>correct way a k e r n akron grunner. And

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>uh it's the it's the first call in the market.

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the inhale exhale bleat and grunt call or grunt call.

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I love a bleat call, like the like the old

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 2>primost can. I mean he's called in so many deer.

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 2>A lot of guys just carry a grunt call. This

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 2>has an inhale ex hell. You can adjust the reads.

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>You flip it and the call is opposite.

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Like there's one.

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Way where when you blow and it's a grunt and

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 2>you suck and it's a it's a fawn bleat or

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>dope blea. You flip it and you blow and it's

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 2>a bleat and you suck and it's a grunt call.

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 2>The tones are slightly different, but I constantly am using

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 2>a bleak call and don't want to carry two calls.

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>And so anyway, this is the acren Pro.

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>And it's the it's h it's from Phelps and it's

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 2>an acrylic call and you can you know, like totally adjustable.

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, these are coming out like real soon, the

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>acren Pro, the acorn Pro.

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 6>Fancy you want some free marketing on that one, Clay, Yeah,

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 6>I have to give it to you. No, No, I

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 6>used your your wooden acron Oh yeah, but the one. Yeah,

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 6>I was one of the guys that you got on

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 6>the it's limited, you got to get it quick, and

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 6>I was like that, I'm buying it. It's happening, yeah,

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 6>And I used it to call up that big ozark

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.200
<v Speaker 6>buck I killed. I heard him down on the on

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 6>the ledge and was bleating at him. I mean it

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 6>was like peak right was starting. He was he sounded

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 6>like a train coming through the woods, and he turned

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 6>and came.

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:11.679
<v Speaker 4>Right up the hill.

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Really, you bleeded at him?

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 4>I did?

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>You didn't ground at him. See, I think that that they.

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 5>Didn't know which end of the call he had.

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>So I.

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Was just breathing through it.

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>What was going to happen?

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 5>What happens?

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.800

<v Speaker 1>How big was that deer?

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.880

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 6>big Deer's the biggest deer.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:40.920

<v Speaker 2>anyone that I'm doing is something that I'm like really

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>interested in, and so in a given time.

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Period, you would be like, hey, Clave, what are you

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:11.559
<v Speaker 1>thinking about?

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'll be like, man, we just I'm doing the

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>most interesting research I've ever done in my life, and

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll talk about the episode that I'm working on.

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 1>But this one is different. This one.

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I told Misty just a little bit ago that in

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 2>the original Bear Grease list of potential episodes that I

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.719
<v Speaker 2>did before the podcast ever started, that was one of

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 2>the exercises that we did.

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like, okay, you're going to start a podcast. Okay,

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>mock out episodes, and all it was was a title.

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>But I wanted to do an episode on Granny Henderson.

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 2>And that was four years ago, and I really didn't

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>know much about her at that time. I just knew

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 2>what probably a lot of our Kansons know is just

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>that you know, she lived on the Buffalo, she she

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 2>had to leave. You know, I didn't know much, but

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I knew that that was a good story. And then

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 2>the way that this all came about, and I just

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 2>told I told Misty this just a little bit ago

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:11.079
<v Speaker 2>was I hadn't quite figured out the angle on it,

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't even on my mind actually, But I

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 2>was riding mules with Justin House, a friend of mine,

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 2>friend of Misty's, over on the Buffalo River and just

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>me and him were riding that day and for eight

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 2>miles down the river. He was telling me stories of

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 2>all the different home places and he knows it exceptionally well.

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Justin's a pretty young guy. I think he's like twenty

0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:39.440
<v Speaker 2>six or something. And man, he knew just like every story,

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>every home place, every every little detail of who owned

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 2>the land that is now the Buffalo National River. So

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 2>we're riding through, you know, just big woods, and it's like, well,

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 2>there's a home place there, and he'd take me up

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>and show me a barn or a footing of a

0:13:55.640 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>house or this, or a smokehouse or And I came

0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 2>home that night and I told my daughter.

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>River, who's on the last episode. I said, Man, da

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 1>da da da da dada.

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I started telling about the river, and she said, you

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 2>need to make a podcast about that, and I immediately did.

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Started.

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Some of these episodes were doing like the preparation really

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 2>is is a year in the making, honestly, like and

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 2>not that I researched something for a year, but.

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>The next episode, that's serious, that's going to come out.

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I read the first book about that over a year

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 1>ago and it just kind of stews. This one like came.

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Up quick, but it had been brewing for a long

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 2>time and uh. And I was able to get in

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>contact with the right people, one of which was Misty,

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and then Misty helped me get in touch with Jane Kilgore,

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 2>who is Grant Henderson's granddaughter, and then uh, just just

0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 2>all the pieces fell in And I say all that

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 2>to say, this episode to me is kind of like core.

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I love some of these that I

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know, they just they there's there's. I've been trying

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 2>to figure out what it is I really like about

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 2>certain stories, but this one's close to the top of

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 2>the list, I think.

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 4>Ye.

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 1>But what's a what's a good way to to start

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>talking about this?

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Misty, doctor misty?

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, thanks for the help.

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 4>I remember that. I remember that National Geographic.

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do you really?

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 9>My grandfather had all my life he had a subscription

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 9>the National Geographic that was given to him for Christmas

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 9>every year by my uncle, his his son, and I'm

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 9>I'd love to get and my grandfather would.

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 4>He was.

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 9>Not highly educated formerly, but very well educated, very well

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 9>read man, very smart man, and he would read a

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 9>National Geographic from cover to cover. Anything that he could

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 9>pick up and read, if it was a popular mechanics

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 9>or the instructions on how to build something, he read everything.

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.560
<v Speaker 9>And I tried to emulate that and read that, and

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 9>I can remember that in US talking that National Geographic

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 9>and another one that highlighted some stuff from where we

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 9>were from in Bradley County. I remember talking to him

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 9>about those, but that was one of them that I remember.

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't remember. I didn't remember Granny Henderson's name. I

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 4>remember that from later on in life learning about it.

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 4>But in seventy seven I would have been eleven years

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 4>old and I remember that story.

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Amazing photographs. Yeah, I think they did a great job

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of capturing who she was and her lifestyle just

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 3>by that handful of photographs.

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that portraits the little famous one, isn't it.

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's a good one.

0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Now, Misty, have you seen the other There's other photos

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 2>I think from this photo shoot that weren't in this magazine.

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 7>I've seen a few that I think Jane had let

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 7>me look at, probably when I was a kid at church,

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.679
<v Speaker 7>that she she'd let me see a few. I have

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 7>a few that she let me copy, and some of

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 7>them have the National Geographic stamp on the back. And

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 7>then there's some others. Blair Deetering did a book called

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 7>Down the Compton Road, and it highlighted her. It highlighted

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 7>ev and all of her neighbors, it's a really good

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.959
<v Speaker 7>Did I give you that one clay House? I think so.

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 7>I think it's there on the bottom, and that's a

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.719
<v Speaker 7>black and white copy, but it's got all of her

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 7>neighbors in it, and it's a really good. Yeah, Gertie

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.479
<v Speaker 7>stud of then you just passed her. That was EV's

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.639
<v Speaker 7>best friend. And there are a couple of oral history

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 7>recordings that have the two of them together.

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh really those are camo.

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Ca Yeah, little Jones, what do you call them?

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 7>Side note, My Grandpa Boyd, he always wore camouflage. I

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 7>mean it was constant. That's all he ever wore. That

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.679
<v Speaker 7>was his uniform unless he went to church and then

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 7>it was britches and a and a button up shirt.

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 7>But I still have some of his coveralls that are

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 7>the old pattern, the old cameo before they started getting

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 7>the crew.

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Back in the day.

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.440
<v Speaker 2>That was pretty progressive though that camo probably first came

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.439
<v Speaker 2>out in the sixties and seventies. So Granny there'd be

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.800
<v Speaker 2>like Granny wearing like bottom land.

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.560
<v Speaker 8>First, like cash, she's got converses on it, I mean, yeah,

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 8>also pretty good.

0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 7>I guarantee if somebody gave her that hat, and I'd

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 7>love to know who gave it to her.

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I asked Jane if she still had that, and she

0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 2>said they didn't.

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 7>Austin Williams is a great grandson of Ev and he

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 7>called me after the first episode landed and he said

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 7>that when he was a little boy and he would

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 7>take her shirt that's in one of the pictures that

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.679
<v Speaker 7>they have to kindergarten to show and tail, and he

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.240
<v Speaker 7>showed all the kids at school, so anytime they would

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.159
<v Speaker 7>have a show and tail that he would bring something

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.200
<v Speaker 7>of his grandma's. I thought that was really.

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:20.560
<v Speaker 1>A sweet Josh, we're gonna play some trivia.

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, okay, we kind of we kind of have a ring.

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, here's the questions you want to do him?

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'll do them. I'll do them.

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 8>You already know the answers.

0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 2>The way this is gonna work is, uh, how about

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 2>we just do the first person to.

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 4>We kind of have a kind of have a ringer.

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 7>I love trivia.

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.120
<v Speaker 4>Single the two of us out though.

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I think I think is fair game because because it's now,

0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 2>you didn't put.

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>The answers on here, Josh, you knew the answers. I've

0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:06.400
<v Speaker 1>already forgot that.

0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.120
<v Speaker 5>That would be part of the game is Clay has

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 5>to answer it to Oh, well.

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 4>It's easy for you and I have to talk about

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 4>this layer.

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, So the first person that blurted out

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 2>gets the point. The person who wins gets something very special.

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 7>You may want to turn me down because something.

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:33.920
<v Speaker 1>First question, how tall was Grannie Henderson? For seven for seven?

0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 4>I said that first.

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 8>I said it before him was miss.

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:40.199
<v Speaker 5>That was it?

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:47.880
<v Speaker 1>She knows well according to Jane. According to the Jane Kilgoor,

0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Granny was four foot seven.

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 7>Then we go by Jane.

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm telling you, I said.

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:57.119
<v Speaker 5>That was pickle first.

0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 8>The mustache speaks, Oh my goodness, take back?

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Who do you say? Brent stood by the by the

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:10.920
<v Speaker 1>camera man, judge.

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 5>He doesn't even know how to say compass true?

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:16.119
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Question number two, what was Granny's Indian remedy for stopping bleeding?

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 1>It was.

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.880
<v Speaker 5>Sugar and sugar was I didn't know about the sugar

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:30.439
<v Speaker 5>got out of three?

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if that can.

0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 8>I got two for three.

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 5>I did not know that one.

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Did you get it right?

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 4>So?

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 1>What was it?

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Sugar, sot and turpentine? That's right, right? Scores?

0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Heero so much for me being a ringer. Yeah, oh

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I do. These questions are pretty they're they're pretty specific.

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:55.639
<v Speaker 4>I think Brent has some insider information. I can't believe

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 4>I got.

0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Well that Brett does have an incredible memory. Yeah he does.

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 5>He probably could gauge your height from that picture in

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:04.919
<v Speaker 5>the magazine.

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, she is right here you have answers written on

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 4>the inside of ye.

0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:13.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay. Question number three, how big was.

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 4>One hundred and sixty seven acres?

0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 8>Was going on here?

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 1>So big was Granny Henderson's farm?

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:23.640
<v Speaker 5>I think it's sixty seven.

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 4>I was going to say seven, but that was for

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 4>the you're going to say one, cause it was.

0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:31.439
<v Speaker 7>A little over the one sixty that everybody used to

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 7>get when they would do the Homestead Act. They everybody

0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 7>kind of would get one hundred and sixty, but it

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:37.400
<v Speaker 7>was a little bit more than that.

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 2>It is sixty seven, is what is what we said

0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:43.919
<v Speaker 2>in the episode. Yeah, and that's that was for the

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.719
<v Speaker 2>records that I found, one hundred and sixty seven acres.

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Next question, Now, there may have been something I got wrong.

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Was there farm bisected by the river? Did they own

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:55.119
<v Speaker 2>land on the other side of the river too?

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:59.159
<v Speaker 7>I don't know, Okay, I know that they owned. I

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.880
<v Speaker 7>know that one side of their place, the river goes right,

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 7>you know, right along it, and I would think that

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:08.159
<v Speaker 7>they probably had to afford it. I mean, that's a

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 7>Jane question.

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, for sure it was. My understanding was that

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 2>it was bisected. But it's possible. I got that mixed up.

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>With Jane's Famili's farm because their farm they had, yeah

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 1>stuff on the other they had like crops and gardens

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of the river. Said the cross

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the river to go to their gardens.

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:31.680
<v Speaker 7>And that was really really common because landlines didn't really

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 7>mean a lot back then. That land was so unused

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 7>and a lot of people considered it worthless. It was

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:43.480
<v Speaker 7>really cheap land. In certain places it is so rugged.

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.120
<v Speaker 7>I mean, people think they're going to go there and farm.

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 7>You can't crop, you know, you can't road crop or

0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:52.080
<v Speaker 7>anything there. But people would take up somebody else's homestead

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 7>and just work the land. And when those people came

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.639
<v Speaker 7>back any improvements or anything that they had made, the

0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:00.080
<v Speaker 7>people that had built it, they would get paid for

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 7>it from the land owner and they just move off.

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, and they.

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 7>Called it floating. They would float from one place to

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 7>the other just use what would right, but use what

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 7>was just laying, you know, follow and they would take

0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 7>it up and work it. And then when the people

0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:17.880
<v Speaker 7>that owned it come back, if they ever came back,

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 7>they would just you know, scoot over give it back.

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 2>It's so interesting to me that what years ago, when

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 2>people were making a living off the land was very

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 2>non valuable land now has value basically because of recreation.

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's the story all over the country. I mean,

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 2>all this mountain land around here in the Appalachians. I

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 2>mean that you couldn't give it away, you know, seventy

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:45.200
<v Speaker 2>five years ago, and a.

0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 7>Lot of people did give it away. And I talked

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:49.640
<v Speaker 7>to one fellow and he said that his I think

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 7>when he bought it, it was twelve dollars an acre. And

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 7>that wasn't back in the twenties or the thirties, you know,

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 7>it was. It was maybe the fifties. But a lot

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:00.280
<v Speaker 7>of people moved when when they started seeing that a

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 7>living could be made without literally killing yourself. The people

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 7>that wanted an easier life, they moved off. A lot

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.680
<v Speaker 7>of people went to Kansas City. But then the ones

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 7>that wanted a farm and stayed, you know, they just

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 7>they they stayed and it was rough, but the land

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:22.199
<v Speaker 7>wasn't worth much. And now you know it's insane. If

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 7>you try to buy land in Newton County, you'll you'll

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:26.200
<v Speaker 7>find out it's not twelve dollars.

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah for sure. Okay, Question number four, what year.

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:35.720
<v Speaker 4>And what.

0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Relationship? Okay, what year was that?

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Don't don't blurt out the answer until I'm done with

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:45.879
<v Speaker 2>the question, because this is a two part question.

0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 1>What and you can't answer, Josh, I can't. I mean,

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:50.719
<v Speaker 1>you already know the question.

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:52.920
<v Speaker 3>The only reason I know it's because I listened to

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:55.000
<v Speaker 3>the podcasts well and nobody told me that.

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, two part question. Don't answer until till I slapped

0:25:58.320 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the table.

0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, until you bleep?

0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:03.639
<v Speaker 1>What what year.

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Did was the land purchased that Granny Henderson ended up

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:13.160
<v Speaker 2>selling to the park and what family member bought it?

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 5>He hadn't slapped the table yet. It's pick nineteen o

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 5>five and nineteen oh five.

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Nineteen oh five was corrected. What'd you say?

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:26.880
<v Speaker 4>Nineteen oh three?

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 9>Oh and her mama, that's the first time she looked

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 9>at it was nineteen oh three?

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Missing did you did you the dates?

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I heard a lot of different dates on that, but

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:43.680
<v Speaker 2>from based on the interview with Granny when she said

0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 2>her mother bought it nineteen oh five, she was Granny

0:26:47.200 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 2>was married when she was sixteen years old, and so

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I did the math, which would have.

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Been like.

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Nineteen oh nine or something, because she was born in

0:26:56.960 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 2>eighteen ninety two. I don't remember actual birthday, but I

0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:05.919
<v Speaker 2>didn't ever know that. But and then they moved on

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:09.800
<v Speaker 2>to that land two years after she was married.

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 7>Did you know, two years after she oh her and Frank, Yeah,

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:16.440
<v Speaker 7>moved back on to that Was that.

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:20.119
<v Speaker 2>What you well, the sequence was her mother bought it

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen oh five when Granny was thirteen.

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Three years later nineteen oh eight. She was married to

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Frank when she was sixteen, and she said in an

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 1>interview that two years after they got married they moved

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>on to that one hundred and sixty seven acres.

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 7>It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't move either in

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:41.439
<v Speaker 7>with her mother or build another house. I don't know

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 7>when her mother passed, but people, you know, multi generational

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:49.919
<v Speaker 7>families were common, very common, So it wouldn't surprise me

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.160
<v Speaker 7>at all if they hadn't moved in with her mother.

0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 7>And I'm just spitballing here. I'm not sure, but that

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 7>goes back to that thing of people kind of taking

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 7>up land. They may have moved, there's no telling where

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 7>they may have been living. They may have been living

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:04.879
<v Speaker 7>in a weening house that was just right close and

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 7>then moved in with her. I'm just not sure.

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, because I read in a lot of the books

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:16.199
<v Speaker 2>said that she that she built that house in nineteen

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:20.880
<v Speaker 2>oh five, which I mean based on what Granny said,

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that. I think I don't think these

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 2>people are doing their research.

0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Anyway.

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 7>It's pretty common to get different stories, you know, you

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 7>really have to with dealing with things this far back.

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 7>You really have to do a lot of digging. You

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 7>might even talk to the saint the family and get

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:39.480
<v Speaker 7>two different storm.

0:28:39.920 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, or maybe I'm wrong. In the house what was

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 2>built in nineteen oh five and they didn't move into

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 2>it until nineteen thirteen, because by by my calculations, nineteen

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 2>thirteen is when they would have moved on to that land.

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Her in Frank her family owned it since though five.

0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:59.160
<v Speaker 7>I would think that the Park Service would probably be

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 7>a really good place to look because when they did

0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 7>a lot of the inventory and the allocation for that

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 7>for the home sites. They did their you know, they

0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 7>did their research on that, so they may very well

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 7>have a date built. I know in the nineties they

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:17.120
<v Speaker 7>did some work on it and did a kind of

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 7>a revamp. I've seen the photos of that through the

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 7>park archives, and so in the nineties were the last

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:26.680
<v Speaker 7>time that they had done, you know, real substantial work

0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:26.959
<v Speaker 7>on it.

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, okay, last question, what's the score?

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Branch three and he's got one.

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Three to one zero zero, lot of zero.

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, actually, maybe a couple of other questions after this. Okay,

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 2>this is a two part question. Don't answer until you

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:50.480
<v Speaker 2>hear the grunt. Two part question. Don't answer it. Which

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 2>which president was Granny Henderson related to what year did

0:29:58.960 --> 0:29:59.959
<v Speaker 2>he become president?

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 4>The boom bom bomb app.

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:06.600
<v Speaker 1>And what relation was Granny to this president?

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 8>Great niece Buchanan eighteen sixty four, Oh lord, okay, we'll

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:21.720
<v Speaker 8>extract we'll extract us the Buchanan Granny's mother the great niece.

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 7>No, I think I think ev was she was the

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:28.880
<v Speaker 7>great niece. Maybe her daughter was the niece.

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Granny said.

0:30:31.680 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I think Granny said her mother was the great president Buchanan.

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 4>That's great.

0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:38.320
<v Speaker 9>She would have been the great great niece and it

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 9>was Buchanan. But I can tell you that you.

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know. So who got that one?

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:42.400
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I think we all know nobody two for three? But

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you said great name.

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:49.600
<v Speaker 8>And I was one year off on his presidency.

0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Wow, for real?

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:53.040
<v Speaker 7>Sixty five after I said.

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 8>Sixty two, didn't I Oh, I was worried way more

0:30:56.800 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 8>than one year old.

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, great job guys, Brent, you w in. Congratulations, you

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 1>get something. You're gonna get something really special.

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:07.160
<v Speaker 4>Here we go.

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:12.959
<v Speaker 2>Uh, like you've met you were unfamiliar with this story.

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:15.120
<v Speaker 2>What were your impressions?

0:31:16.080 --> 0:31:19.520
<v Speaker 5>I was about as conflicted as a human could be

0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:24.520
<v Speaker 5>at the end of it. I mean because obviously, I

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:27.520
<v Speaker 5>mean it's stuff that you hit on yourself in that podcast.

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 5>It's like, obviously we see the value in national parks,

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 5>especially working for you know, on X and being just

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 5>really you know, very a big supporter of public access. Right,

0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:42.640
<v Speaker 5>But then there's the whole side with all those people

0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 5>that lost their homes and Granny story, and you just

0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:47.840
<v Speaker 5>can't help but sympathize with them. And I guess where

0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 5>my head was. It's like, you just wish they're even

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 5>if a happy medium was possible, I don't think there

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 5>was one, but there's just there's definitely things in there

0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:00.960
<v Speaker 5>that you just could have been handled different like I

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:04.400
<v Speaker 5>think probably one of the most like sympathy, like where

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.479
<v Speaker 5>I felt the most sympathy or was the story about

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 5>when the woman wanted to go back to her old

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 5>home place just to see it, and she was ninety

0:32:12.200 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 5>six and they were.

0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Wanted her to write a mule.

0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was one of my favorite parts when Jane

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:18.600
<v Speaker 2>said she can't write a mule.

0:32:18.880 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 7>Have you have you seen the photos of them taking

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 7>her down the river in a raft?

0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>No? No, I saw your your video of taking They

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 1>used to take.

0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:29.880
<v Speaker 7>Arby Jane's mother, the one you were referencing. They took

0:32:29.920 --> 0:32:32.120
<v Speaker 7>her and they would put she was so frail and

0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:34.400
<v Speaker 7>so cold. They would put a bean bag in the

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 7>middle of a raft and make a big nest for her.

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 7>And she was a frail, little, tiny woman and they

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 7>would just set her in there. And I've seen photos

0:32:42.600 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 7>of them, you know, all hanging off the side of

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 7>the raft and then there's a little Arby in the middle,

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 7>and that's how they would take her.

0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 5>To see her family sit and just out. The human

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 5>side of you is like I understand that that's the rule,

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 5>but just make an exception. Man, you know it just did.

0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:02.000
<v Speaker 5>But that's how Yeah, the end of that podcast, it

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 5>was just like it's just tough one conflicting.

0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, I.

0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Mean we we've said it, like the the national the

0:33:12.720 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 2>idea for national parks and setting aside beautiful, pristine wild

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:22.160
<v Speaker 2>places in America. It was really American genius. Like if

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 2>you just look back at all the things that our

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 2>government has done that we now are like like.

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Thank god they did that.

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 2>That's one of them. But the conflicted part is that

0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 2>it costs people something. And that's really the core of

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 2>this whole story is that the things that we love

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 2>cost somebody a lot.

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And uh, and yeah, there's really no answer.

0:33:45.800 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's not like we can go back and

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:52.480
<v Speaker 2>give it to the give the land back, or even

0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that that would be a good idea.

0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's that's probably not a good idea.

0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:33:56.400 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 9>Everybody can agree that sometimes somebody has to take one

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 9>for the team, unless you're the guy that's taking it. Yeah,

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:08.319
<v Speaker 9>that's when it's hard. It's hard to understand that. And

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:12.399
<v Speaker 9>I spent a lot of time years ago up there

0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:18.160
<v Speaker 9>in that area it just enjoying the not just the scenery,

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.959
<v Speaker 9>but the land. And we made we'd camp and we'd

0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:24.520
<v Speaker 9>make tea from a spring right there beside us where

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 9>was at? And you think, man, I'm so glad to

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:31.280
<v Speaker 9>be here. Now, I'll think back after hearing this story,

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:34.560
<v Speaker 9>even being somewhat familiar with it over the years. Now

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:37.840
<v Speaker 9>I think that gun, you know, maybe I was in

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:41.600
<v Speaker 9>somebody's pasture, or I was in somebody else's barn, lock

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:45.600
<v Speaker 9>were on per was and you just think, there's there's

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:49.880
<v Speaker 9>always there's always been somebody there before you. And how

0:34:50.080 --> 0:34:53.759
<v Speaker 9>that came about is what is the biggest problem. And

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:58.960
<v Speaker 9>we talked about that on the last render when clay

0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 9>Bow was when you wouldn't hear was It's hard to

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:06.720
<v Speaker 9>think about something someplace that you enjoy so much without

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:09.359
<v Speaker 9>now thinking about how it was before and how and

0:35:09.400 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 9>how it came about. You can't think about how good

0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:14.839
<v Speaker 9>it was without thinking how bad it was for somebody else.

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:15.840
<v Speaker 4>I can't.

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, well and then and then I mean, this

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 2>thing can keep rolling back too, to the displacement of

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Native America.

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:27.799
<v Speaker 4>Sure, you know, it's like we said that too.

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:30.680
<v Speaker 9>You know, they wasn't the first folks there, and the

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:34.080
<v Speaker 9>last Native Americans had it before we get there. They

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:36.279
<v Speaker 9>wasn't the first somebody else got They got it from

0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:36.879
<v Speaker 9>somebody else.

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, so the thing could just

0:35:40.080 --> 0:35:44.200
<v Speaker 2>like keep keep rolling back, Kyle?

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 1>What stood out to you man.

0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 6>There towards the end you were talking about if if

0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:55.800
<v Speaker 6>the timing had been a little bit different, didn't seem

0:35:55.840 --> 0:35:58.799
<v Speaker 6>like the dam was coming that got pushed back, Did

0:35:58.800 --> 0:36:00.919
<v Speaker 6>we really have to make it a national river?

0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:03.040
<v Speaker 4>That shoot out to me, because I don't think I've

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 4>ever heard that right.

0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:08.560
<v Speaker 6>You know, I was familiar with the story of the Buffalo,

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 6>growing up, floating the buffalo and around it. I was

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:13.279
<v Speaker 6>kind of in the early eras of the save the

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:16.320
<v Speaker 6>Buffalo stuff with the pig farms and the you know,

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:18.960
<v Speaker 6>we're getting water qualities bad and all of that. So

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:22.160
<v Speaker 6>I knew it as a this is the gem of Arkansas,

0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:25.280
<v Speaker 6>the crown jewel. Got to save it from getting ruined

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 6>by a tourist or beer cans or hog feces whatever

0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:30.880
<v Speaker 6>else that was a problem. So I had this idea

0:36:30.920 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 6>that it was this pristine, perfect kind of hallowed ground

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:39.799
<v Speaker 6>right where it's always been Arkansas's crown jewel. We've always

0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 6>kind of deserved to have it. It's what puts our

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:44.560
<v Speaker 6>state on the map a little bit. So we enjoy it.

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:47.080
<v Speaker 6>We're supposed to enjoy it, that kind of thing. And

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 6>didn't realize that there was any conflict around it until

0:36:50.440 --> 0:36:53.120
<v Speaker 6>we went and talked with Misty last fall about the

0:36:53.160 --> 0:36:55.600
<v Speaker 6>potential redesignation. And I will probably talk about that here

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 6>in a bit, but the redesignation and kind of the

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:01.440
<v Speaker 6>fight to change it to something different and all of that,

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:03.319
<v Speaker 6>and and what that could mean for the river. And

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:06.319
<v Speaker 6>so I've just it's for the last year or so

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:08.399
<v Speaker 6>been thinking on it in the Buffalo River, but did

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:11.319
<v Speaker 6>not know that fact that there was a potential that

0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:13.360
<v Speaker 6>it wasn't going to become a national river in the

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:14.960
<v Speaker 6>first place, which.

0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:16.080
<v Speaker 4>That just has a lot of implications.

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, now, Missy, did you know did you know that?

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Had you ever heard that sequence like that? If they

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:27.360
<v Speaker 2>because they saved the Buffalo people, a big part of

0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 2>their what they said was that we're saving it from

0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:31.439
<v Speaker 2>being damned, and to do that, we have to turn

0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:32.600
<v Speaker 2>it into a national park.

0:37:33.120 --> 0:37:36.359
<v Speaker 7>From my research, and that this is and I'm not

0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:41.480
<v Speaker 7>talking about academic research, just talking to folks. The word

0:37:41.520 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 7>on the street is is that we were about two

0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:48.760
<v Speaker 7>decades out away from it being damned. So for twenty

0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:52.000
<v Speaker 7>years we didn't mean everybody thought, well that that miss

0:37:52.040 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 7>is over, the dam and mess is over, and we're

0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:57.200
<v Speaker 7>just going to keep going the way that we're going.

0:37:57.400 --> 0:38:02.200
<v Speaker 7>And everybody would talk about a park, but we all

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:04.720
<v Speaker 7>just thought it was taught because the dam didn't materialize,

0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:08.799
<v Speaker 7>so why would the park materialize? But we always thought

0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:11.760
<v Speaker 7>it was about twenty years past damning.

0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:14.720
<v Speaker 1>So that threat was gone by the seventies.

0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Gone.

0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:21.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, actually by the some people say decades, but I honestly,

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 7>I think by the sixties. That's for me, that's my cutoff.

0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 7>I feel like that by the sixties.

0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:28.600
<v Speaker 1>They knew that they knew that.

0:38:28.239 --> 0:38:30.120
<v Speaker 7>Nothing was going to happen, and I think that that

0:38:30.200 --> 0:38:32.919
<v Speaker 7>push had kind of backed off and there were more

0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:37.960
<v Speaker 7>conservationists and they didn't want to damn certain places because

0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:40.120
<v Speaker 7>of that. I think maybe they learned a little bit,

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:43.600
<v Speaker 7>maybe they didn't, But for me, I always feel like

0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:47.319
<v Speaker 7>by the sixties that was kind of over. Now you

0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:50.040
<v Speaker 7>can find stuff, I'm sure to prove me wrong, But

0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:53.400
<v Speaker 7>as far as the locals go. That's kind of what

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:55.400
<v Speaker 7>I've always been taught and heard.

0:38:55.680 --> 0:39:06.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, what did for the people that would have

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:11.960
<v Speaker 1>heard the name doctor Neil Compton? Do you think I

0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:13.920
<v Speaker 1>treated him fairly.

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 7>For myself, I own my family, and growing up, I

0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:24.719
<v Speaker 7>always had kind of that he was kind of the boogeyman,

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:29.279
<v Speaker 7>you know, in our community. However, I get to talk

0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:31.680
<v Speaker 7>to all kinds of people. And I was talking to

0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:35.320
<v Speaker 7>a neighbor of mine, and she's not a generational local,

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:37.200
<v Speaker 7>but she is local. They some of the back to

0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:40.560
<v Speaker 7>the Landers, and they were from the Fayetteville area, and

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:45.080
<v Speaker 7>she said that doctor Compton took care of her grandfather

0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:48.080
<v Speaker 7>and he met her somewhere I don't know how to

0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:50.880
<v Speaker 7>market or something, and he spoke to her and she

0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:54.680
<v Speaker 7>introduced herself and he said the last name, and he

0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:58.479
<v Speaker 7>said her grandfather's name, and he remembered caring for him.

0:39:58.800 --> 0:40:00.560
<v Speaker 7>And this had been years ago, in it meant so

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:03.440
<v Speaker 7>much to her, And I think that goes to all

0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 7>the things that we've talked about in this series. Whether

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 7>it's the park Service, whether it's Neil Compton, whether it's

0:40:09.320 --> 0:40:12.399
<v Speaker 7>the locals. Whatever. You can't do black and white. There's

0:40:12.440 --> 0:40:14.840
<v Speaker 7>a lot of gray in there. There's a lot of

0:40:14.920 --> 0:40:17.640
<v Speaker 7>really good people that do things that I'm going to

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:19.560
<v Speaker 7>think is bad, and there's a lot of really bad

0:40:19.560 --> 0:40:20.960
<v Speaker 7>people that are ever now and then going to have

0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 7>a good day. Yeah, And you know, you have to

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 7>look at it not as somebody's a total villain or

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:30.399
<v Speaker 7>somebody's a total hero. You've got to kind of wade

0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:32.080
<v Speaker 7>around in that middle ground a little bit.

0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:32.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:40:32.719 --> 0:40:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, it was the first time that I would have well,

0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I would have just known Neil Compton as kind of

0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the father of the Buffalo River, which you know, in

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:45.600
<v Speaker 2>his book the foreword of his book, Ken Smith said

0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:48.799
<v Speaker 2>like John Muir is of Yosemite. And when he said that,

0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like, ah, I get it. That's kind of

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:52.560
<v Speaker 2>the way I viewed him.

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:53.640
<v Speaker 1>And then.

0:40:55.560 --> 0:40:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all this story kind of put him in a

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:00.759
<v Speaker 2>little different light, and I really went out of my

0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:05.560
<v Speaker 2>way to not villainize the guy, because there there are

0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:08.680
<v Speaker 2>people that like are to this day in this area,

0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:12.239
<v Speaker 2>like students of Neil Compton, you know, just like his

0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:17.200
<v Speaker 2>environmental any kind of his conservation legacy and and uh

0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:19.880
<v Speaker 2>and those are Society is still an organization as I

0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:21.920
<v Speaker 2>understand it, that's still going on today.

0:41:24.840 --> 0:41:26.000
<v Speaker 4>But I did.

0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:31.800
<v Speaker 2>It was interesting going to Newton County and hearing people

0:41:31.880 --> 0:41:33.680
<v Speaker 2>like you said, like he was kind of the boogeyman

0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and uh and yeah that forward that I read when

0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:43.920
<v Speaker 2>it said, uh where Ken Smith uh said all over

0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:49.279
<v Speaker 2>the United States there are conservation or there there where parks.

0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Are being.

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Designated and whatnot. It's always the same. It's it's the locals,

0:41:55.160 --> 0:41:59.080
<v Speaker 2>which he called exploiters, and the outsiders, which he called

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:02.520
<v Speaker 2>preservation and people who have see the land it's like

0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:07.760
<v Speaker 2>a spiritual, you know, place of renewal. And like clearly

0:42:08.719 --> 0:42:11.440
<v Speaker 2>he was an outsider and they were coming to this

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:16.239
<v Speaker 2>place and uh and and basically calling anybody that didn't

0:42:16.280 --> 0:42:19.800
<v Speaker 2>want to preserve it as as a local exploiter trying

0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:22.240
<v Speaker 2>to have like personal gain.

0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:24.440
<v Speaker 7>Well, in order to gain traction, you have to have

0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:26.160
<v Speaker 7>a bad guy, and you have to have you know,

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:28.040
<v Speaker 7>you have to have the guy in the black hat

0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:29.320
<v Speaker 7>and the guy in the white hat that's going to

0:42:29.360 --> 0:42:31.360
<v Speaker 7>come and save the day. And so you kind of

0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:35.399
<v Speaker 7>have to have a somebody that you're wanting to if

0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:38.239
<v Speaker 7>the if the popular opinion is going to be we

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:41.200
<v Speaker 7>need to do this at this cost. You've got to

0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:44.240
<v Speaker 7>make somebody the bad guy, somebody's got to lose.

0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, it didn't seem like there was a guy in

0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:47.760
<v Speaker 3>a white hat in this situation.

0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:51.000
<v Speaker 7>Well, I think the foreword of Battle for the Buffalo

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:53.759
<v Speaker 7>may suggest that a lot of people thought there was

0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:54.719
<v Speaker 7>a guy in a white hat.

0:42:54.800 --> 0:42:56.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I think at that time those people

0:42:56.800 --> 0:42:58.920
<v Speaker 3>would have thought the government were their guy in the

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:01.640
<v Speaker 3>white hat, right, I mean, the government would protect them.

0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:06.440
<v Speaker 6>And or if I can interject it, just knowing some

0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:09.439
<v Speaker 6>of the history, it feels like there's the bad guy.

0:43:09.480 --> 0:43:11.400
<v Speaker 4>Is the core of engineers even.

0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:13.719
<v Speaker 1>If he wasn't gonna be they wanted to.

0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:15.640
<v Speaker 6>If there wasn't a threat, But it seems like they

0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:17.560
<v Speaker 6>carry the threat enough just to keep the story going.

0:43:17.840 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 6>So if the core of engineers are the bad guy,

0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:22.360
<v Speaker 6>then you have doctor Neil Compton for everybody who's not

0:43:22.800 --> 0:43:25.640
<v Speaker 6>on the Buffalo but in the greater Arkansas areas like,

0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:26.480
<v Speaker 6>that's a good guy.

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:28.120
<v Speaker 4>He's the hero's.

0:43:27.880 --> 0:43:29.799
<v Speaker 7>Which is the majority of thee Yeah.

0:43:29.840 --> 0:43:31.160
<v Speaker 6>And then the people who are caught up in it,

0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean they're posed as they're the ignorant heibilities who

0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 6>don't know what they have, right, It's.

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:37.759
<v Speaker 7>Like they can't manage what they have.

0:43:37.920 --> 0:43:40.399
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, they're the in the Robinhood story, they're the ones

0:43:40.400 --> 0:43:43.279
<v Speaker 6>who are they need the help kind of thing. And

0:43:43.360 --> 0:43:45.360
<v Speaker 6>like it's easy to tell a story that way and

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:48.040
<v Speaker 6>not let it be complicated as it should be.

0:43:48.040 --> 0:43:50.759
<v Speaker 8>And so that's my problem with the with the whole

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:53.239
<v Speaker 8>narrative and even some of the quotes that Clay read

0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:57.839
<v Speaker 8>me from from the book. Again, I don't think he's

0:43:57.880 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 8>a I don't think he's a terrible person, But I

0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:02.680
<v Speaker 8>think it's very easy to discount people and to label

0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:05.600
<v Speaker 8>them as exploiters. When you think about a woman like

0:44:05.640 --> 0:44:10.720
<v Speaker 8>Granny Henderson who's staying till the very end, and because

0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:13.640
<v Speaker 8>of her connection to the land, because of her connection

0:44:13.719 --> 0:44:17.200
<v Speaker 8>to the place, it's very difficult to say she's an exploiter.

0:44:17.520 --> 0:44:20.480
<v Speaker 8>It's very difficult to say to describe her in those terms.

0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:23.799
<v Speaker 8>And it's almost like they didn't see the way that

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:27.640
<v Speaker 8>the land was used as a preservation of the land,

0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:31.279
<v Speaker 8>as a connection to the land's They just didn't see

0:44:31.320 --> 0:44:33.400
<v Speaker 8>them at all. And I think that's too common a story.

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in that damn building era, which was also

0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:40.400
<v Speaker 2>an era in this country when they were making a

0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:44.839
<v Speaker 2>ton of national parks, man, you just better hope that

0:44:44.920 --> 0:44:48.360
<v Speaker 2>your place isn't in the crosshairs because there was no

0:44:48.520 --> 0:44:49.200
<v Speaker 2>room for.

0:44:50.880 --> 0:44:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's just one of those things.

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:55.400
<v Speaker 2>It really, as I boil the story down, it literally

0:44:55.719 --> 0:44:58.759
<v Speaker 2>is just the cost of living in a nation that

0:44:58.920 --> 0:45:03.879
<v Speaker 2>is that has what we have. I mean, it's it's

0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:06.480
<v Speaker 2>like that there was there's no gray area. I mean,

0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:09.759
<v Speaker 2>they didn't leave Granny a spot in the National Park

0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:13.080
<v Speaker 2>because she was a wonderful, nice lady, you know, and

0:45:13.080 --> 0:45:16.800
<v Speaker 2>and and they just couldn't do that. And it's, uh,

0:45:18.000 --> 0:45:20.279
<v Speaker 2>it's just one of those conundrums, or we're gonna say.

0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:22.920
<v Speaker 7>This, Well, it's not unlike the interstate system either. You know,

0:45:23.040 --> 0:45:26.520
<v Speaker 7>when you start thinking of eminent domain throughout the United States,

0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:29.399
<v Speaker 7>you know, you're always at the whim of somebody else

0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:33.400
<v Speaker 7>wanting what you have or your area, not not so

0:45:33.480 --> 0:45:36.520
<v Speaker 7>much just coming and taking your belongings, but but your land.

0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:39.120
<v Speaker 7>So if you fall in, you know, in the crosshairs

0:45:39.280 --> 0:45:43.319
<v Speaker 7>of somebody's project, that's that's a precarious place to be.

0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:46.040
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, well, how bad is it that those folks were

0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:49.800
<v Speaker 9>actually the epitome of what the American dream is exactly?

0:45:49.960 --> 0:45:52.880
<v Speaker 9>They were settled in a place that they were taking

0:45:52.920 --> 0:45:55.120
<v Speaker 9>care of and living and taking care of their family

0:45:55.760 --> 0:45:59.040
<v Speaker 9>and doing exactly the thing of westward expansion of what

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:01.239
<v Speaker 9>the goverden and said, this is a good thing for

0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:04.080
<v Speaker 9>y'all to do. Go out here and settle these places

0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:08.839
<v Speaker 9>that that are supposedly uninhabitable. And then they go out

0:46:08.880 --> 0:46:11.520
<v Speaker 9>there and they do that, and then there they they

0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:14.759
<v Speaker 9>stayed there and they're successful to doing it. Regardless of

0:46:14.800 --> 0:46:17.080
<v Speaker 9>the little of success, they're still there and they're doing it,

0:46:17.120 --> 0:46:19.960
<v Speaker 9>and they're taking care of themself and they're raising kids

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.520
<v Speaker 9>and cows and they're doing and if they're doing what

0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:25.160
<v Speaker 9>they're supposed to do, then they came in and said, well,

0:46:25.320 --> 0:46:27.399
<v Speaker 9>you did a great job, but you're exploiting the land.

0:46:27.520 --> 0:46:27.960
<v Speaker 4>Get off.

0:46:28.200 --> 0:46:30.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, get labeled as exploiter after all that.

0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, uh, that's that was the toughest pill for me

0:46:33.920 --> 0:46:34.760
<v Speaker 4>to swamp. Yeah.

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, missy, I'm asking I'm gonna ask you the same

0:46:38.160 --> 0:46:39.080
<v Speaker 2>thing I asked these two guys.

0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:43.239
<v Speaker 1>You've already chimed in. Uh is that mean?

0:46:45.360 --> 0:46:45.520
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:49.960
<v Speaker 1>It's okay? Is it me? Who is it? It might be? Uh,

0:46:50.120 --> 0:46:50.880
<v Speaker 1>it might be somebody.

0:46:53.239 --> 0:46:53.880
<v Speaker 4>I can't even.

0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Find my phone. No, it's me and I can't find

0:46:59.880 --> 0:47:05.000
<v Speaker 1>it that's all right, that's all right, he would.

0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:09.600
<v Speaker 7>Talk to that was I probably shouldn't say who that was.

0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Missy when you, like I said, when I made this

0:47:16.640 --> 0:47:19.600
<v Speaker 1>podcast and put it out to the world, I was like, man,

0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:21.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope Missy's okay with this?

0:47:22.760 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 2>What what did you think? Any criticisms, anything that got wrong.

0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:31.759
<v Speaker 1>That you'd like to talk about or just or what

0:47:31.760 --> 0:47:33.359
<v Speaker 1>what impact you what you liked.

0:47:33.640 --> 0:47:36.200
<v Speaker 7>I think it came together really well. I think it

0:47:36.360 --> 0:47:41.200
<v Speaker 7>told e f story so that people could could put

0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:44.920
<v Speaker 7>a face on the displacement. With her being the very

0:47:45.000 --> 0:47:47.640
<v Speaker 7>last person, I mean, that goes to show you how

0:47:47.760 --> 0:47:50.879
<v Speaker 7>determined she was to stay. You know, if she could

0:47:50.920 --> 0:47:53.160
<v Speaker 7>have eked out a you know some more times, she

0:47:53.200 --> 0:47:53.840
<v Speaker 7>would have.

0:47:54.640 --> 0:47:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Let me stop you right there and forgive me for

0:47:56.600 --> 0:47:59.920
<v Speaker 2>being a hog here on the host. I was she

0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:03.279
<v Speaker 2>the last person? I contradicted myself because at one time

0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:06.680
<v Speaker 2>I said, like the latter in the In the process

0:48:06.719 --> 0:48:09.359
<v Speaker 2>of the several weeks I had towards the end, I

0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:11.959
<v Speaker 2>found that I thought I read that she was one

0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:12.680
<v Speaker 2>of the last.

0:48:13.120 --> 0:48:16.920
<v Speaker 7>It's my understanding she was the last, okay, and that

0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:19.960
<v Speaker 7>was in it. And I could be wrong, but especially

0:48:19.960 --> 0:48:22.400
<v Speaker 7>because I only deal kind of with my area. I

0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:24.839
<v Speaker 7>don't know a lot about the middle and the lower River,

0:48:25.320 --> 0:48:27.520
<v Speaker 7>Upper River is kind of As a matter of fact,

0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:30.600
<v Speaker 7>I don't even know a lot about the Hasty Carver area.

0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:33.399
<v Speaker 7>You know, I'm more upriver. We all kind of tend

0:48:33.480 --> 0:48:35.600
<v Speaker 7>to our own. I've got a friend I've never floated

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:38.600
<v Speaker 7>even past Carver ever in my life, and they were like,

0:48:38.880 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 7>good lord, what kind of representative of the Buffalo are you?

0:48:42.840 --> 0:48:45.320
<v Speaker 7>But we tend to our own, you don't, I don't get.

0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Out of my territory. Well, it's to me, it's always

0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:49.320
<v Speaker 1>been said that she was the last.

0:48:49.400 --> 0:48:49.680
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:48:49.680 --> 0:48:52.520
<v Speaker 2>But then when I was doing the research, I read

0:48:52.719 --> 0:48:56.120
<v Speaker 2>where maybe there was some other people way down river

0:48:56.200 --> 0:48:58.640
<v Speaker 2>that were still there when she was there. Well, they

0:48:58.680 --> 0:49:01.560
<v Speaker 2>certainly I could just find a definitive answer.

0:49:01.600 --> 0:49:03.239
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't know if you knew. So okay, I

0:49:03.280 --> 0:49:06.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know for asking you that, No, continue on with.

0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:10.320
<v Speaker 7>The Only thing that I wish I had done better

0:49:10.440 --> 0:49:13.279
<v Speaker 7>was give a more rounded opinion of the park from

0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:16.200
<v Speaker 7>my own opinion. I gave you a lot of what

0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:18.600
<v Speaker 7>I hear. Because of the work that I do with

0:49:18.600 --> 0:49:22.160
<v Speaker 7>the Remnants Project, I interview families who tell me their

0:49:22.200 --> 0:49:26.440
<v Speaker 7>displacement stories, right, and then then all of my community

0:49:26.719 --> 0:49:28.800
<v Speaker 7>already knows these stories. There's a lot of people that

0:49:28.840 --> 0:49:31.879
<v Speaker 7>are just now hearing them and learning about them. But

0:49:32.000 --> 0:49:36.480
<v Speaker 7>for our people, we know them real well, and I

0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:39.520
<v Speaker 7>think that I should have you know, let you know

0:49:39.719 --> 0:49:42.000
<v Speaker 7>how my dad worked for the park and how in

0:49:42.040 --> 0:49:46.800
<v Speaker 7>the nineties that was such a tight group of workers there,

0:49:47.040 --> 0:49:50.000
<v Speaker 7>the whole park worked together, and they were just a

0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:51.960
<v Speaker 7>huge part of our community. You know, they went to

0:49:52.040 --> 0:49:56.240
<v Speaker 7>our schools, our churches. I babysat for every park ranger.

0:49:56.320 --> 0:49:58.680
<v Speaker 7>I think that ever lived at Steel Creek and my

0:49:58.760 --> 0:50:04.720
<v Speaker 7>mom before me, and my greatest wish for the park

0:50:04.960 --> 0:50:09.320
<v Speaker 7>would be that the Buffalo National River could be funded

0:50:09.560 --> 0:50:12.520
<v Speaker 7>in all of the National parks and park properties could

0:50:12.560 --> 0:50:16.239
<v Speaker 7>be funded by Congress and afford to run in the

0:50:16.280 --> 0:50:20.320
<v Speaker 7>way and maintain what they have. That would be a

0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:23.080
<v Speaker 7>dream coming true because we're not going to get that.

0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:27.279
<v Speaker 7>Nobody's getting their land back. We don't even think that's

0:50:27.320 --> 0:50:30.239
<v Speaker 7>a notion. But I think for people like Sonny Boy

0:50:30.320 --> 0:50:36.399
<v Speaker 7>or Willard that if they just tended it a little better, well,

0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:39.120
<v Speaker 7>they can't tend it if they don't have the funds

0:50:39.160 --> 0:50:43.440
<v Speaker 7>for it. And so you know, I'm the last person

0:50:43.480 --> 0:50:47.200
<v Speaker 7>that's going to say they're anti park because they're my neighbors.

0:50:47.800 --> 0:50:50.560
<v Speaker 7>We have a pretty good relationship with them, I feel like,

0:50:51.280 --> 0:50:53.840
<v Speaker 7>and I think there are some of the best people

0:50:53.880 --> 0:50:56.640
<v Speaker 7>that I know that work at the park still to

0:50:56.680 --> 0:51:01.400
<v Speaker 7>this day. But you can't expect people to work for nothing.

0:51:01.560 --> 0:51:03.800
<v Speaker 7>You know, people have a job and they get paid

0:51:03.840 --> 0:51:07.040
<v Speaker 7>for it. And when they cut back so much of

0:51:07.120 --> 0:51:11.080
<v Speaker 7>the facilities, you know, the access areas, things like that

0:51:11.080 --> 0:51:13.400
<v Speaker 7>that they just can't maintain because they don't have funding,

0:51:13.800 --> 0:51:17.000
<v Speaker 7>that's that's something that the country as a nation. That's

0:51:17.040 --> 0:51:21.680
<v Speaker 7>something we need to address. But I think that would

0:51:21.719 --> 0:51:24.120
<v Speaker 7>make people feel a little bit better if it looked

0:51:24.800 --> 0:51:28.400
<v Speaker 7>more like it used to, or if the locals felt

0:51:28.440 --> 0:51:30.600
<v Speaker 7>like that they were tending to it, you know, letting

0:51:30.640 --> 0:51:35.640
<v Speaker 7>something go into you know, a dismal state that's hard

0:51:35.719 --> 0:51:38.680
<v Speaker 7>for for local people to tolerate. You know, they want

0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:39.400
<v Speaker 7>to see it, and you're.

0:51:39.239 --> 0:51:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Looking particularly talking about the historic structures, and the structures

0:51:43.440 --> 0:51:46.280
<v Speaker 2>some of them are just like falling down.

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:49.839
<v Speaker 7>Right, and even even at ev Henderson's place. I don't

0:51:49.880 --> 0:51:52.120
<v Speaker 7>know when you I don't know if you've seen photos

0:51:52.200 --> 0:51:54.359
<v Speaker 7>or not, but right now, all you've got pretty much

0:51:54.400 --> 0:51:56.600
<v Speaker 7>is the house, and then there's the cellar, and then

0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:59.000
<v Speaker 7>there's the trail that goes along. Back when I was

0:51:59.040 --> 0:52:02.319
<v Speaker 7>a kid, the whole front yard of hers that went

0:52:02.400 --> 0:52:04.680
<v Speaker 7>I don't know how many acres it was all still

0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:07.080
<v Speaker 7>cleared off, and the park kept it cleared off. They

0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:10.040
<v Speaker 7>mowed it. That was part of my dad's job. And

0:52:10.120 --> 0:52:12.359
<v Speaker 7>they had the big fruit trees were all still there.

0:52:12.440 --> 0:52:14.360
<v Speaker 7>We would ride our horses up and get you know,

0:52:14.480 --> 0:52:17.960
<v Speaker 7>pears and things off of the trees, and so it was.

0:52:18.080 --> 0:52:20.640
<v Speaker 7>It was well tended as a As a it looked

0:52:20.680 --> 0:52:24.399
<v Speaker 7>like a farmstead. Still, it wasn't just the house. And

0:52:24.840 --> 0:52:28.880
<v Speaker 7>I think that that kind of management lended itself to

0:52:29.000 --> 0:52:33.560
<v Speaker 7>a better view from the locals than then things falling into.

0:52:35.200 --> 0:52:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's a there's a photo I put it on

0:52:37.560 --> 0:52:40.600
<v Speaker 1>my Instagram of Granny on her porch and you could

0:52:40.640 --> 0:52:43.120
<v Speaker 1>see off into a big meadow. You could see the

0:52:43.160 --> 0:52:45.640
<v Speaker 1>bluffs on the river on the other side of the river.

0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:49.040
<v Speaker 1>And today when you stand on that porch, I probably

0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:53.040
<v Speaker 1>post a video of me and Willard blinds at that house.

0:52:54.480 --> 0:52:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, just I don't think you.

0:52:55.600 --> 0:52:56.479
<v Speaker 7>Could see six feet.

0:52:56.560 --> 0:52:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, it's immediate. It's just yeah, growing up.

0:53:00.440 --> 0:53:02.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, And when you look at some of the books

0:53:02.680 --> 0:53:05.279
<v Speaker 7>of and I can't remember which one it is, I

0:53:05.280 --> 0:53:08.080
<v Speaker 7>think it's won by Neil Compton. It talks about the

0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:12.640
<v Speaker 7>pastoral views and the pastoral areas of the river. Well,

0:53:12.640 --> 0:53:16.680
<v Speaker 7>those are those are no more because they're not maintained.

0:53:16.680 --> 0:53:19.160
<v Speaker 7>That doesn't take very long for stuff to get Willy.

0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:22.600
<v Speaker 9>Did that become part of the mission to just let

0:53:22.719 --> 0:53:24.560
<v Speaker 9>nature reclaim.

0:53:24.160 --> 0:53:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's a part of the it was a part

0:53:26.560 --> 0:53:30.200
<v Speaker 2>of Technically that is is that wilderness.

0:53:30.920 --> 0:53:33.279
<v Speaker 7>It is a wilderness. It is it is in the

0:53:33.280 --> 0:53:36.960
<v Speaker 7>wilderness area. However, it depends on which superintendent you have.

0:53:37.760 --> 0:53:42.880
<v Speaker 7>Superintendents can make sweeping changes within a park, and I

0:53:42.920 --> 0:53:46.919
<v Speaker 7>wasn't aware of that until we lost our last superintendent

0:53:46.960 --> 0:53:52.160
<v Speaker 7>because I was asking about the new one and you know, yes, yeah,

0:53:52.440 --> 0:53:57.000
<v Speaker 7>And I've heard through the grapevine that she has got

0:53:57.080 --> 0:54:03.080
<v Speaker 7>kind of a place in her administration for the historic

0:54:03.120 --> 0:54:06.759
<v Speaker 7>places that she is maybe bringing somebody on board that

0:54:06.880 --> 0:54:11.359
<v Speaker 7>deals specifically with that, and any maintenance or maintaining goes

0:54:11.400 --> 0:54:14.440
<v Speaker 7>through that employee. So I think that's a great effort.

0:54:15.120 --> 0:54:17.879
<v Speaker 7>But depending on which superintendent was in charge would kind

0:54:17.880 --> 0:54:20.640
<v Speaker 7>of depend on how things looked and when my dad

0:54:20.680 --> 0:54:23.560
<v Speaker 7>worked there, and when that was maintained, I believe it

0:54:23.600 --> 0:54:27.359
<v Speaker 7>was Jack Lanahan was the superintendent at that point and

0:54:28.080 --> 0:54:31.240
<v Speaker 7>there were things done that maybe the next superintendent didn't

0:54:31.280 --> 0:54:33.839
<v Speaker 7>like it managed that way. But I know a lot

0:54:33.880 --> 0:54:37.839
<v Speaker 7>of people wanted it to be to look just like

0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:40.360
<v Speaker 7>it did when everybody left, and for a long time

0:54:40.480 --> 0:54:43.440
<v Speaker 7>it did. We have aerial photos that prove, you know,

0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:46.520
<v Speaker 7>how long it took for things to grow up, but

0:54:46.960 --> 0:54:50.640
<v Speaker 7>when it did, you know, it's just it's just greenbro.

0:54:50.880 --> 0:54:51.960
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty interesting.

0:54:52.080 --> 0:54:56.040
<v Speaker 2>The study on successionary plants in the st Yes, it

0:54:56.120 --> 0:55:01.000
<v Speaker 2>is like how things regrow. Yeah, lot of cedar groves

0:55:01.520 --> 0:55:04.360
<v Speaker 2>that used to be pastures where the eastern red cedar

0:55:04.400 --> 0:55:05.120
<v Speaker 2>would grow up.

0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:08.359
<v Speaker 1>Uh, Misty, what was your favorite part?

0:55:08.680 --> 0:55:08.839
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:55:08.960 --> 0:55:12.800
<v Speaker 8>My favorite part, man, I really I did. I really

0:55:12.880 --> 0:55:16.480
<v Speaker 8>enjoyed hearing Jane Gilbert talking about her her her grandma.

0:55:16.840 --> 0:55:20.120
<v Speaker 8>I loved how you had that recording of her showing

0:55:20.200 --> 0:55:23.760
<v Speaker 8>up in the seventies asking where the where the spring

0:55:23.960 --> 0:55:26.720
<v Speaker 8>was and then you fast forward and you hear a voice.

0:55:27.200 --> 0:55:29.280
<v Speaker 8>Now that was super awesome.

0:55:29.360 --> 0:55:31.440
<v Speaker 1>You were the first one that before I listened to

0:55:31.680 --> 0:55:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the episode. You Uh you you were like Jane shows up.

0:55:36.560 --> 0:55:39.040
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and that's that was the you know, I've got

0:55:39.080 --> 0:55:43.640
<v Speaker 7>several audio I've got several audios of e F and

0:55:43.640 --> 0:55:44.960
<v Speaker 7>that was the one I wanted to give you because

0:55:45.000 --> 0:55:46.640
<v Speaker 7>then we were I was trying to get you in

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:49.600
<v Speaker 7>with Jane and and uh and so yeah, it worked

0:55:49.600 --> 0:55:52.520
<v Speaker 7>out really good. But I thought that was really sweet

0:55:52.520 --> 0:55:55.480
<v Speaker 7>to hear it because I don't remember her Jane's young voice.

0:55:55.680 --> 0:55:55.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:55:56.000 --> 0:55:58.080
<v Speaker 7>You know, as you grow up, you just forget how

0:55:58.080 --> 0:56:00.200
<v Speaker 7>people sound, and it was really nice to hear her

0:56:00.239 --> 0:56:00.719
<v Speaker 7>young voice.

0:56:00.760 --> 0:56:01.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:56:01.000 --> 0:56:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mean to interrupt you.

0:56:02.120 --> 0:56:03.680
<v Speaker 8>No, that's fine, that's fine. That's just that was my

0:56:03.719 --> 0:56:06.880
<v Speaker 8>favorite part. And and just everything about Jane Kilgort. You know,

0:56:06.920 --> 0:56:09.200
<v Speaker 8>she's a character. You didn't really talk about it, but

0:56:09.239 --> 0:56:11.799
<v Speaker 8>she's a big hunter. Yeah, I mean, she's a she's

0:56:11.840 --> 0:56:14.839
<v Speaker 8>a she's she's a character. She's and you can she's

0:56:14.920 --> 0:56:18.440
<v Speaker 8>kind of see that same that same thing in Granny

0:56:18.520 --> 0:56:20.000
<v Speaker 8>Henderson and her yea, and I love it.

0:56:20.400 --> 0:56:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Did I made note of it in the podcast, but

0:56:23.840 --> 0:56:26.879
<v Speaker 2>always listening stuff like this. So Granny is sitting there

0:56:26.960 --> 0:56:32.960
<v Speaker 2>talking to a National Park Service, uh employee or you know,

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:38.000
<v Speaker 2>historian like she she's probably in a pretty uncomfortable situation.

0:56:39.000 --> 0:56:41.719
<v Speaker 2>She didn't seem uncomfortable. But just if you're being interviewed

0:56:41.719 --> 0:56:43.759
<v Speaker 2>and there's a there was a video camera. What I

0:56:43.840 --> 0:56:48.080
<v Speaker 2>learned is that that interview was videoed, and so she's

0:56:48.280 --> 0:56:52.799
<v Speaker 2>she's probably talking in like her most proper voice, and

0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:55.480
<v Speaker 2>then when Jane comes up, she's like, I'll tell you, Jane,

0:56:55.560 --> 0:56:57.279
<v Speaker 2>down there on the down on the creek, you can

0:56:57.360 --> 0:56:58.760
<v Speaker 2>hunt it and we can find it and you cross

0:56:58.800 --> 0:56:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the ford.

0:57:00.040 --> 0:57:03.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, she she I heard it. Yeah, that's she

0:57:03.440 --> 0:57:06.080
<v Speaker 1>totally changed her dialect when she was talking to Jane.

0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:07.920
<v Speaker 7>I heard that little bit of like the Lord, you

0:57:07.920 --> 0:57:08.279
<v Speaker 7>ought to.

0:57:08.239 --> 0:57:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Know that you can't help but find it.

0:57:15.200 --> 0:57:18.960
<v Speaker 7>But now Dwight Pakaithley was the interviewer and at that

0:57:19.120 --> 0:57:21.680
<v Speaker 7>time he that was before he was actually the historian,

0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:24.320
<v Speaker 7>so he was doing that just as a college kid

0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:27.760
<v Speaker 7>from Texas Tech, and he was there to record her,

0:57:27.920 --> 0:57:31.920
<v Speaker 7>and he he did record several oral histories with other folks.

0:57:32.400 --> 0:57:35.160
<v Speaker 7>And it's funny because I think it was Jane that

0:57:35.240 --> 0:57:38.200
<v Speaker 7>mentioned sometimes she would talk to folks and sometimes she wouldn't.

0:57:38.400 --> 0:57:41.520
<v Speaker 7>She would suss people out and if they passed her

0:57:42.000 --> 0:57:44.920
<v Speaker 7>her smell test, then she'd sit down and visit with them.

0:57:44.960 --> 0:57:48.840
<v Speaker 7>And people would return, you know, people they became her friends,

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:51.480
<v Speaker 7>and and so I think Dwight was definitely one of

0:57:51.480 --> 0:57:55.439
<v Speaker 7>those people that was in her kind of trusted little

0:57:55.520 --> 0:57:57.919
<v Speaker 7>circle of strangers that she met.

0:57:58.240 --> 0:58:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm so glad he kept the interview on when they

0:58:00.920 --> 0:58:03.560
<v Speaker 2>were interrupted, like you'd have been attempted to turn it

0:58:03.640 --> 0:58:06.200
<v Speaker 2>off or something, because in the moment, you wouldn't have

0:58:06.280 --> 0:58:09.920
<v Speaker 2>realized that that would be something that fifty years later.

0:58:10.040 --> 0:58:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Would be valuable. You know, it just would have been

0:58:13.960 --> 0:58:15.480
<v Speaker 1>just like a random interaction.

0:58:15.800 --> 0:58:17.320
<v Speaker 7>And I warned you about the roosters.

0:58:17.520 --> 0:58:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, yeah you did.

0:58:19.440 --> 0:58:21.440
<v Speaker 8>They were very very well.

0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Recorded, the roosters.

0:58:23.040 --> 0:58:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there's another part of the interview where the hogs

0:58:26.960 --> 0:58:27.400
<v Speaker 2>come up.

0:58:28.480 --> 0:58:29.360
<v Speaker 1>This is not a joke.

0:58:30.080 --> 0:58:33.560
<v Speaker 2>The hogs come up and she's answering a serious question

0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:36.640
<v Speaker 2>by this interviewer. They're like, I don't They're talking about

0:58:36.640 --> 0:58:41.320
<v Speaker 2>something legitimately serious, and you hear it's like roote, and

0:58:41.360 --> 0:58:43.560
<v Speaker 2>it gets closer and closer and closer, and it feels

0:58:43.560 --> 0:58:46.720
<v Speaker 2>like it's right under the porch, and you hear just

0:58:46.920 --> 0:58:51.800
<v Speaker 2>us to the point that the interviewer goes, you sure

0:58:51.880 --> 0:58:52.040
<v Speaker 2>have a.

0:58:52.040 --> 0:58:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Lot of pigs, like you kind of like has to

0:58:55.160 --> 0:58:59.360
<v Speaker 1>like address it, and she goes, uh.

0:58:58.560 --> 0:59:01.360
<v Speaker 2>She goes, that's a sound with a left piglets. And

0:59:01.360 --> 0:59:02.680
<v Speaker 2>then he was like, what are you gonna do with those?

0:59:02.720 --> 0:59:04.560
<v Speaker 2>And she said, I guess I'm just gonna give him

0:59:04.560 --> 0:59:07.120
<v Speaker 2>away and she talks about the pigs. But it was

0:59:07.160 --> 0:59:10.240
<v Speaker 2>like chaos, just like but.

0:59:10.400 --> 0:59:14.040
<v Speaker 5>All that though the here and actually getting to hear

0:59:14.120 --> 0:59:16.560
<v Speaker 5>her voice and the roofs and every bit of that.

0:59:17.160 --> 0:59:20.640
<v Speaker 5>For me, especially not again not having any attachment to

0:59:20.680 --> 0:59:24.160
<v Speaker 5>the story, it was another layer of humanizing.

0:59:23.560 --> 0:59:23.960
<v Speaker 1>All of it.

0:59:24.280 --> 0:59:26.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because even you know, even if you didn't have

0:59:26.400 --> 0:59:28.160
<v Speaker 5>a picture of her to look at, you know, you're

0:59:28.160 --> 0:59:30.120
<v Speaker 5>just kind of hearing this story, you still get attached

0:59:30.160 --> 0:59:31.840
<v Speaker 5>to it. But actually getting to hear it it was

0:59:32.040 --> 0:59:33.600
<v Speaker 5>you could connect to it better and.

0:59:33.560 --> 0:59:36.840
<v Speaker 7>You could put your mamma's face that voice exactly.

0:59:37.000 --> 0:59:39.400
<v Speaker 3>That's That's the thing that I really picked up on

0:59:39.600 --> 0:59:44.200
<v Speaker 3>is we were really close with Christie's my wife, Christie's grandmother,

0:59:44.600 --> 0:59:46.680
<v Speaker 3>and I think about she she lived in her house

0:59:46.720 --> 0:59:50.040
<v Speaker 3>for you know, decades and decades, and it was I mean,

0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:51.880
<v Speaker 3>really it was just kind of a shack, you know

0:59:51.920 --> 0:59:54.320
<v Speaker 3>what I mean, just a shack and rule Oklahoma, Oklahoma

0:59:54.480 --> 0:59:59.360
<v Speaker 3>and uh, the idea of you know, my my in laws,

0:59:59.440 --> 1:00:02.040
<v Speaker 3>my mother and this is my mother in law's mother. Like,

1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:04.080
<v Speaker 3>they talked to her about building her a new house,

1:00:04.120 --> 1:00:05.760
<v Speaker 3>and she said, why do I need a new house?

1:00:05.960 --> 1:00:07.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, didn't they have dirt floors?

1:00:08.120 --> 1:00:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, when she first got married, her first two houses

1:00:11.320 --> 1:00:15.320
<v Speaker 3>had dirt floors. But but I think of the idea

1:00:15.480 --> 1:00:18.840
<v Speaker 3>of moving Grandma Vaughan out of her house would have

1:00:18.920 --> 1:00:21.959
<v Speaker 3>been like unthinkable, you know what I mean. She lived

1:00:21.960 --> 1:00:24.280
<v Speaker 3>to be ninety I think she was ninety three or

1:00:24.360 --> 1:00:27.080
<v Speaker 3>ninety four, lived by herself and carried in her all

1:00:27.080 --> 1:00:30.360
<v Speaker 3>her own firewood, you know, basically till the day she died.

1:00:31.000 --> 1:00:34.040
<v Speaker 3>And the idea of her being forced off of that

1:00:34.200 --> 1:00:37.160
<v Speaker 3>land that she'd lived on for fifty sixty years, you

1:00:37.200 --> 1:00:38.880
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean, would be unthinkable.

1:00:39.120 --> 1:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what that brings up something interesting. Granny

1:00:43.960 --> 1:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Henderson was a type in that period like she was.

1:00:50.720 --> 1:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying she wasn't unique, because she was very

1:00:52.840 --> 1:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>unique where she lived and lived as a widow and

1:00:55.480 --> 1:00:58.240
<v Speaker 2>all these things. But I've had a lot of people

1:00:58.680 --> 1:01:03.680
<v Speaker 2>say to me, she reminded me of this person, and

1:01:04.280 --> 1:01:06.880
<v Speaker 2>all those people aren't here anymore. I mean that we

1:01:06.960 --> 1:01:09.280
<v Speaker 2>just don't have people alive that were born in eighteen

1:01:09.360 --> 1:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>ninety two and lived their life without electricity, without.

1:01:12.000 --> 1:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Phone, without running water.

1:01:13.920 --> 1:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>But it brought back memories of all these people, and

1:01:18.920 --> 1:01:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and and and now this well anyway, just that she

1:01:25.760 --> 1:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>was she she represented something, you know, that that was

1:01:30.240 --> 1:01:38.720
<v Speaker 2>important to them.

1:01:38.840 --> 1:01:41.520
<v Speaker 7>And the fact that her mother. You know, I do

1:01:41.560 --> 1:01:44.360
<v Speaker 7>a lot of research and I only know of and

1:01:45.040 --> 1:01:47.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm in a small community. I'm not I'm not saying

1:01:47.240 --> 1:01:49.880
<v Speaker 7>the whole river, but in a small area. I know

1:01:49.920 --> 1:01:54.560
<v Speaker 7>of two women who bought home places, and one was

1:01:54.640 --> 1:01:56.919
<v Speaker 7>quite a bit later than EV's mother.

1:01:57.480 --> 1:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>But that's very on that.

1:02:00.800 --> 1:02:04.960
<v Speaker 7>That that's you know, the early nineteen hundreds, a woman

1:02:05.040 --> 1:02:08.640
<v Speaker 7>buying property and being able to maintain that property.

1:02:08.920 --> 1:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>You know.

1:02:09.160 --> 1:02:11.800
<v Speaker 7>One thing that she did was when the pencil company

1:02:11.880 --> 1:02:13.880
<v Speaker 7>came in and my great uncle and a lot of

1:02:13.880 --> 1:02:17.000
<v Speaker 7>the other locals that cut the cedar trees and floated

1:02:17.000 --> 1:02:20.120
<v Speaker 7>those down the river. She they worked Ev and her

1:02:20.160 --> 1:02:24.120
<v Speaker 7>mother as cooks for those workers, and so they would

1:02:24.160 --> 1:02:27.000
<v Speaker 7>do a full I mean all the full grub, you know,

1:02:27.080 --> 1:02:29.600
<v Speaker 7>morning to evening, and they would travel with them down

1:02:29.640 --> 1:02:31.520
<v Speaker 7>the river. So they would go all the way down

1:02:31.560 --> 1:02:34.200
<v Speaker 7>I think, Gosh, I don't know if they stopped at

1:02:34.200 --> 1:02:38.040
<v Speaker 7>Woolem for some reason. I'm thinking Woollem was their ending point,

1:02:38.360 --> 1:02:39.920
<v Speaker 7>but then they would come back. But they lived in

1:02:39.960 --> 1:02:41.760
<v Speaker 7>tents and went all the way down to the river.

1:02:41.840 --> 1:02:44.200
<v Speaker 7>That was EV's mother and Ev she would have that

1:02:44.320 --> 1:02:47.600
<v Speaker 7>she brought her on to help because you know, all

1:02:47.640 --> 1:02:50.240
<v Speaker 7>hands on deck and that was her job, but she

1:02:50.720 --> 1:02:51.800
<v Speaker 7>insteaded her own place.

1:02:52.000 --> 1:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, that was so. Yeah. So EV's father died

1:02:56.240 --> 1:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>when she was fourteen. That should have been a trivia

1:02:58.840 --> 1:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>question fourteen months old. Yeah, Josh, what was your favorite

1:03:02.440 --> 1:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>part or a terrible criticism?

1:03:07.160 --> 1:03:14.120
<v Speaker 3>I think I think just the I loved the audio.

1:03:14.360 --> 1:03:15.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't know how you can get away

1:03:16.440 --> 1:03:19.439
<v Speaker 3>get away from that. That that is that is such

1:03:19.480 --> 1:03:23.560
<v Speaker 3>a treasure to have that and to be able to

1:03:23.560 --> 1:03:26.880
<v Speaker 3>to It's like it's like if you could go back

1:03:26.880 --> 1:03:28.960
<v Speaker 3>in time. It's as close to being able to go

1:03:29.040 --> 1:03:32.880
<v Speaker 3>back in time and to get a view of her life,

1:03:33.000 --> 1:03:35.800
<v Speaker 3>what life was like on the Buffalo. And I feel

1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:38.840
<v Speaker 3>like I feel like the Dwight Pitt cat how do

1:03:38.840 --> 1:03:42.000
<v Speaker 3>you say his last name, Kailey, I feel like he

1:03:42.400 --> 1:03:46.000
<v Speaker 3>did such a great job just being disarming, you know what.

1:03:46.040 --> 1:03:48.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean in the way that he interviewed her that

1:03:48.800 --> 1:03:50.640
<v Speaker 3>that kind of just brought you in. So when you

1:03:50.680 --> 1:03:52.560
<v Speaker 3>listen to it, you feel like you're there, and I

1:03:52.600 --> 1:03:54.560
<v Speaker 3>think that that's really meaningful to me.

1:03:54.840 --> 1:03:59.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and that's something in a lot of the oral histories.

1:03:59.760 --> 1:04:03.080
<v Speaker 7>There things that from our childhood as gen xers that

1:04:03.200 --> 1:04:06.000
<v Speaker 7>you're going to hear that you've forgotten, the way a

1:04:06.080 --> 1:04:10.560
<v Speaker 7>screen door collapse when it shuts, water dripping out of

1:04:10.600 --> 1:04:13.040
<v Speaker 7>the sink, or water running continually because a lot of

1:04:13.080 --> 1:04:16.080
<v Speaker 7>it was gravity flow. And so there's these little things

1:04:16.080 --> 1:04:19.120
<v Speaker 7>from my childhood that I've forgotten, and there's things from

1:04:19.120 --> 1:04:22.480
<v Speaker 7>even before my time that I'll catch when I'm listening

1:04:22.480 --> 1:04:24.480
<v Speaker 7>to those, and sometimes I don't know what they are

1:04:24.560 --> 1:04:27.440
<v Speaker 7>and I have to really isolate it. But that is

1:04:27.480 --> 1:04:29.400
<v Speaker 7>a treasure to me all in itself.

1:04:31.600 --> 1:04:36.640
<v Speaker 2>The one interview that I didn't I couldn't use much

1:04:36.640 --> 1:04:38.720
<v Speaker 2>of the audio from it was the interview with Roy

1:04:38.880 --> 1:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>and Katie Keaton. I was so glad that you read

1:04:43.160 --> 1:04:45.400
<v Speaker 2>that transcript like you did, which I thought was a

1:04:45.440 --> 1:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>really powerful part of the podcast when because it really,

1:04:49.800 --> 1:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, we had this personal connection to Granny. But

1:04:54.000 --> 1:04:57.479
<v Speaker 2>then when you read about the keatings and we saw

1:04:57.520 --> 1:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>all the details and we didn't even go into all

1:04:59.640 --> 1:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>the but there is it's over two and a half hours.

1:05:02.480 --> 1:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure between those three three segments of the

1:05:06.200 --> 1:05:10.400
<v Speaker 2>interview where in nineteen eighty four, so this is twelve

1:05:10.520 --> 1:05:13.840
<v Speaker 2>years after the redesignation of the park. They had been

1:05:13.920 --> 1:05:17.480
<v Speaker 2>moved out, and there's an interview with Roy and Katie

1:05:17.520 --> 1:05:23.480
<v Speaker 2>and they it's pretty it's really neat oddly and this

1:05:23.560 --> 1:05:27.880
<v Speaker 2>is not like a conspiracy theory the second they start

1:05:27.920 --> 1:05:32.400
<v Speaker 2>talking about the park, because finally the interviewer goes tell

1:05:32.440 --> 1:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>me about when the park came and I'm serious, I

1:05:34.600 --> 1:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>think they actually like bumped the recorder or something because

1:05:38.000 --> 1:05:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the audio quality just plummets and it was unusable. I

1:05:41.640 --> 1:05:44.640
<v Speaker 2>was going to try to use her actually saying what

1:05:44.800 --> 1:05:47.439
<v Speaker 2>you read because I heard it, but you bet it's

1:05:47.520 --> 1:05:50.960
<v Speaker 2>but the but the audio is not usable for something

1:05:51.040 --> 1:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>like this.

1:05:51.720 --> 1:05:54.520
<v Speaker 7>I'm working with MSU. There were a couple of those

1:05:54.680 --> 1:05:57.440
<v Speaker 7>that it was odd, how the audio would you know,

1:05:57.880 --> 1:06:01.120
<v Speaker 7>mess up? And they were able to actually clean up

1:06:01.280 --> 1:06:05.280
<v Speaker 7>one because they have the original tapes and so they

1:06:05.360 --> 1:06:08.760
<v Speaker 7>are working on cleaning that up and getting that to me.

1:06:08.840 --> 1:06:11.760
<v Speaker 7>So when I get it I'll send it to But

1:06:11.840 --> 1:06:14.000
<v Speaker 7>one thing, you were talking about westward expansion a little

1:06:14.040 --> 1:06:17.360
<v Speaker 7>bit ago. Katie's story is really unique in that her

1:06:17.400 --> 1:06:22.320
<v Speaker 7>parents were one was from Lithuania, the other was from Czechoslovakia,

1:06:22.520 --> 1:06:25.800
<v Speaker 7>and they came. Her parents came to Kansas, and I

1:06:25.800 --> 1:06:28.120
<v Speaker 7>don't know if Katie was born in Kansas. I kind

1:06:28.120 --> 1:06:30.920
<v Speaker 7>of think maybe. And then they moved to Arkansas. They

1:06:30.920 --> 1:06:33.720
<v Speaker 7>didn't speak a word of English, and so when they

1:06:33.720 --> 1:06:36.200
<v Speaker 7>got to the Buffalo River Valley they had to go

1:06:36.240 --> 1:06:39.440
<v Speaker 7>into school, these children who spoke no English with a

1:06:39.480 --> 1:06:43.880
<v Speaker 7>bunch of my people, and my people can be really honrey.

1:06:44.040 --> 1:06:45.880
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you know, you start thinking about some of

1:06:45.920 --> 1:06:49.840
<v Speaker 7>the mean pranks your grandpa played on you the generation

1:06:49.920 --> 1:06:52.240
<v Speaker 7>before that. They were even on rear, you know. And

1:06:52.320 --> 1:06:54.800
<v Speaker 7>they speak to Katie and they asked her if the

1:06:54.920 --> 1:06:58.720
<v Speaker 7>kids would have her teach them words in her language,

1:06:58.760 --> 1:07:00.960
<v Speaker 7>and she said no. They made fun of us. We

1:07:01.920 --> 1:07:04.720
<v Speaker 7>didn't talk. And then for her to become such a

1:07:04.800 --> 1:07:07.480
<v Speaker 7>huge and her whole family is such a huge part

1:07:07.520 --> 1:07:10.280
<v Speaker 7>of our community there. I deal with people that are

1:07:10.360 --> 1:07:13.080
<v Speaker 7>her descendants all the time and they're some of the

1:07:13.120 --> 1:07:15.400
<v Speaker 7>best people. I mean, you're ever going to mean and

1:07:15.440 --> 1:07:18.120
<v Speaker 7>I'm kin to the Keating side, so her husband's side,

1:07:18.120 --> 1:07:21.960
<v Speaker 7>I'm kin to. But their story of coming all this

1:07:22.120 --> 1:07:25.880
<v Speaker 7>way and then getting a knock on the door, you know,

1:07:26.000 --> 1:07:28.720
<v Speaker 7>that's your American dream, just going right down the toilet.

1:07:29.000 --> 1:07:29.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1:07:29.440 --> 1:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:07:30.480 --> 1:07:32.720
<v Speaker 2>When you listen to the interview the whole thing, you

1:07:32.800 --> 1:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>get the point that we made, but you actually hear

1:07:35.640 --> 1:07:37.880
<v Speaker 2>it and see it is that it's almost like they

1:07:38.000 --> 1:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>were trying to It was the first person that they

1:07:40.960 --> 1:07:43.800
<v Speaker 2>serve papers to, the first of what they know is

1:07:43.800 --> 1:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be ninety thousand acres.

1:07:45.720 --> 1:07:49.120
<v Speaker 7>Well, it was the first of the declaration of taking right, well, right,

1:07:49.400 --> 1:07:52.240
<v Speaker 7>there were only like two or three declarations of taking.

1:07:52.560 --> 1:07:56.120
<v Speaker 7>Oh really, Yeah, they were very sparse, and so when

1:07:56.160 --> 1:07:58.720
<v Speaker 7>they come with a declaration of taking, it's over and done.

1:07:59.200 --> 1:08:02.200
<v Speaker 7>There's you know, that's wow, They've got it. And their

1:08:02.240 --> 1:08:05.720
<v Speaker 7>place was at Lost Valley. You've probably everybody's Lost Valley.

1:08:05.760 --> 1:08:08.360
<v Speaker 7>It's a gorgeous spot. But it was kind of the

1:08:08.760 --> 1:08:11.000
<v Speaker 7>it was it was a real i don't want to

1:08:11.000 --> 1:08:13.360
<v Speaker 7>say the crown jewel, but it was a real feather

1:08:13.400 --> 1:08:15.320
<v Speaker 7>in their cap to get Lost Vallete.

1:08:15.400 --> 1:08:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Then what's so wild is that their neighbors they didn't

1:08:17.720 --> 1:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>take the land.

1:08:18.560 --> 1:08:21.720
<v Speaker 7>Well, they did some of it, but they you know,

1:08:22.439 --> 1:08:24.000
<v Speaker 7>back in the I think it was in the late

1:08:24.000 --> 1:08:27.080
<v Speaker 7>eighties or the early nineties. Jim Lyles worked for the

1:08:27.080 --> 1:08:30.120
<v Speaker 7>Park Service. He was an assistant superintendent. He's a real

1:08:30.120 --> 1:08:31.080
<v Speaker 7>good friend of mine.

1:08:31.360 --> 1:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I hope he considers me from author of this book

1:08:34.160 --> 1:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>right here, which I referenced quite a bit.

1:08:36.640 --> 1:08:39.960
<v Speaker 7>Which is all folks talking is is is the next

1:08:39.960 --> 1:08:42.920
<v Speaker 7>book down from the Bible. For me, that's my genealogy

1:08:42.960 --> 1:08:46.960
<v Speaker 7>Bible right there, and he is. He and his wife

1:08:47.000 --> 1:08:50.439
<v Speaker 7>both Susie Lyles, his wife was a historian at the

1:08:50.439 --> 1:08:54.320
<v Speaker 7>Park Service, and they gave so much to our community

1:08:54.600 --> 1:08:56.639
<v Speaker 7>through that book and through the other work that they

1:08:56.680 --> 1:09:00.000
<v Speaker 7>did of recording histories and and Jim was the one

1:09:00.080 --> 1:09:03.200
<v Speaker 7>that kind of came up and created the leaseback program

1:09:03.560 --> 1:09:05.719
<v Speaker 7>in Boxley Valley. So a lot of the reason why

1:09:05.760 --> 1:09:09.600
<v Speaker 7>you still see residential occupation in Boxley is because of

1:09:09.680 --> 1:09:12.599
<v Speaker 7>Jim and what he came up with to let people

1:09:13.360 --> 1:09:17.360
<v Speaker 7>lease back their family farms. And that was wonderful, but

1:09:17.400 --> 1:09:21.200
<v Speaker 7>there were certain ones that just didn't didn't qualify. I

1:09:21.720 --> 1:09:23.680
<v Speaker 7>think with the declaration of taking, I don't know if

1:09:23.680 --> 1:09:25.599
<v Speaker 7>that would even make it, you know, an option.

1:09:26.040 --> 1:09:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's so complicated and there's so many little facets.

1:09:30.400 --> 1:09:33.280
<v Speaker 2>One thing that was on the interview with Katie Keaton

1:09:33.520 --> 1:09:35.479
<v Speaker 2>is she told about seeing a black panther.

1:09:36.680 --> 1:09:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm not kidding. I got it.

1:09:39.680 --> 1:09:40.439
<v Speaker 4>She changed her mind.

1:09:40.800 --> 1:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, when it.

1:09:42.640 --> 1:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Came from her, I was like, well I might have

1:09:45.160 --> 1:09:46.280
<v Speaker 2>believe it might be real.

1:09:47.120 --> 1:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for real, she told she told the story of

1:09:49.760 --> 1:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>seeing a black panther. We up in Boxley or somewhere.

1:09:52.439 --> 1:09:55.800
<v Speaker 7>There's no manner of critter that we don't have. My

1:09:55.800 --> 1:09:58.080
<v Speaker 7>grandpa was one of the best trappers on the river.

1:09:58.240 --> 1:10:00.559
<v Speaker 7>That was his. That was his whole life was fishing

1:10:00.600 --> 1:10:04.599
<v Speaker 7>and trapping and hunting, and he's talked about killing panthers

1:10:05.560 --> 1:10:08.680
<v Speaker 7>and now it hasn't been recent. Yeah, and don't know

1:10:08.720 --> 1:10:11.120
<v Speaker 7>that it was a hawks bill, but it was definitely.

1:10:11.280 --> 1:10:13.439
<v Speaker 2>You find me a picture of a black panther that

1:10:13.520 --> 1:10:16.200
<v Speaker 2>he caught, and we're gonna take it to town. I

1:10:16.200 --> 1:10:21.519
<v Speaker 2>don't have that, Okay, Hey, Lake, I mentioned venomous snakes

1:10:21.520 --> 1:10:25.280
<v Speaker 2>getting bit by venomous snakes. I've got two fools in

1:10:25.320 --> 1:10:28.680
<v Speaker 2>our presence who has been bit by venomous snakes. One

1:10:28.720 --> 1:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>was just acting the fool when he was bit how'd

1:10:31.320 --> 1:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>you get bit by a venomous snake?

1:10:32.760 --> 1:10:37.120
<v Speaker 5>Mine's not much better, oh much better at all?

1:10:37.520 --> 1:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Which category would you be in? So I said, if

1:10:39.800 --> 1:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>you want to get my attention, tell me how many

1:10:41.360 --> 1:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>venomus snakes you've been bit by, But not if you

1:10:43.439 --> 1:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>were just goofing around with one.

1:10:45.200 --> 1:10:48.240
<v Speaker 5>I was goofing around, but I was not. This is

1:10:48.320 --> 1:10:50.920
<v Speaker 5>it is the only interesting twist to it. I was

1:10:50.960 --> 1:10:53.200
<v Speaker 5>goofing around, but I was not goofing around with a

1:10:53.280 --> 1:10:55.840
<v Speaker 5>snake because I did not even know I had been

1:10:55.920 --> 1:11:02.320
<v Speaker 5>bit true story, So do tell. So we were out

1:11:02.479 --> 1:11:05.960
<v Speaker 5>about doing country kids stuff at night and the next

1:11:06.040 --> 1:11:11.439
<v Speaker 5>days in Mississippi at summertime, which is just venomous snakes central.

1:11:11.880 --> 1:11:14.759
<v Speaker 5>We were tall grass and I had on like flip flops.

1:11:15.280 --> 1:11:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Lord, and so if you get bit wearing flip flops.

1:11:17.800 --> 1:11:23.400
<v Speaker 5>And I was supposed to play in the band in

1:11:23.439 --> 1:11:29.160
<v Speaker 5>a wedding the next day, and so I'm play drums, yeah,

1:11:29.240 --> 1:11:32.000
<v Speaker 5>in my former life, So I mean I'm sitting there

1:11:32.080 --> 1:11:34.599
<v Speaker 5>behind the drums. I mean like the bride has walked

1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:36.559
<v Speaker 5>down and they're doing the ceremony, and I remember being like,

1:11:37.439 --> 1:11:40.080
<v Speaker 5>ankle hurts, and I reached down, I felt my ankle.

1:11:40.160 --> 1:11:43.200
<v Speaker 5>My ankle just was swollen. And then I was like,

1:11:43.280 --> 1:11:45.320
<v Speaker 5>something is wrong. And I went to stand up and

1:11:45.360 --> 1:11:48.040
<v Speaker 5>I couldn't put any weight on that leg. And I

1:11:48.080 --> 1:11:50.960
<v Speaker 5>thought spider or something that had bit me or whatever.

1:11:51.040 --> 1:11:53.360
<v Speaker 5>And get home. I look and I mean I saw

1:11:53.479 --> 1:11:55.840
<v Speaker 5>the two marks, but still I was like, snake. Would

1:11:55.960 --> 1:11:58.200
<v Speaker 5>you know I would see a snake bite me. I

1:11:58.240 --> 1:12:00.760
<v Speaker 5>went to the family doctor and tell him, like something

1:12:00.760 --> 1:12:02.800
<v Speaker 5>bit me, a spider or something whatever. He walks in

1:12:02.840 --> 1:12:05.160
<v Speaker 5>and looks at it and he said, that's a snake bite.

1:12:05.200 --> 1:12:06.439
<v Speaker 5>And they, I mean, they had to put me on

1:12:06.479 --> 1:12:08.200
<v Speaker 5>and I couldn't walk on it for five days.

1:12:08.760 --> 1:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>But so when did you get bit the night before?

1:12:11.560 --> 1:12:14.120
<v Speaker 5>Just just walking through the grass, he said. I said,

1:12:14.160 --> 1:12:15.639
<v Speaker 5>because when he told me that, he said that ain't

1:12:15.640 --> 1:12:17.960
<v Speaker 5>spider by it, that's a snake. And I said, doctor Rowland,

1:12:18.880 --> 1:12:20.720
<v Speaker 5>you're the doctor here. But I always figured if I

1:12:20.760 --> 1:12:22.240
<v Speaker 5>got snake bit I would know about it. And he

1:12:22.240 --> 1:12:24.240
<v Speaker 5>said it happens more often than you would think.

1:12:24.320 --> 1:12:24.760
<v Speaker 4>Is that right?

1:12:24.800 --> 1:12:27.479
<v Speaker 5>And he said, basically it wasn't even like the venom

1:12:27.520 --> 1:12:30.040
<v Speaker 5>that got me is just more of like bacteria infection.

1:12:30.560 --> 1:12:32.479
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, I got a picture of it.

1:12:32.600 --> 1:12:34.679
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a soft snake bite story.

1:12:34.760 --> 1:12:35.599
<v Speaker 5>I just weak.

1:12:35.960 --> 1:12:39.639
<v Speaker 1>I just told you. No, I'm not doubting you.

1:12:40.160 --> 1:12:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I was just hoping that you were like trying to

1:12:44.320 --> 1:12:47.200
<v Speaker 2>dove into the grass to like catch a deer.

1:12:47.560 --> 1:12:50.720
<v Speaker 5>No, I mean it was the most bizarre. Yeah, I

1:12:50.760 --> 1:12:51.760
<v Speaker 5>wish that'd be the case.

1:12:52.200 --> 1:12:56.880
<v Speaker 2>The hat tip to your snake bite. That's good, that's good.

1:12:57.280 --> 1:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>That's good. Brent.

1:12:58.200 --> 1:13:00.360
<v Speaker 4>How'd you get bit trying to catch one?

1:13:00.600 --> 1:13:00.720
<v Speaker 8>Well?

1:13:00.720 --> 1:13:02.600
<v Speaker 9>I actually I called him and then he called me,

1:13:03.840 --> 1:13:05.920
<v Speaker 9>and I wouldn't do anything you him.

1:13:06.439 --> 1:13:07.360
<v Speaker 4>He called me a fool.

1:13:07.560 --> 1:13:10.840
<v Speaker 9>Ago he did, but I don't have any videos of

1:13:10.880 --> 1:13:12.560
<v Speaker 9>me catching them on Instagram.

1:13:12.640 --> 1:13:14.719
<v Speaker 2>You know how many times Clay's been bitten by venom

1:13:14.720 --> 1:13:16.479
<v Speaker 2>of snake that punctured the skin?

1:13:17.320 --> 1:13:17.559
<v Speaker 4>Zero?

1:13:18.040 --> 1:13:20.439
<v Speaker 8>You know how many times Granny Henderson is by.

1:13:20.800 --> 1:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Mistakeny wasn't messing with it?

1:13:22.800 --> 1:13:23.160
<v Speaker 8>Twice?

1:13:23.680 --> 1:13:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Three times? I remember twice, but on the on the podcast,

1:13:27.560 --> 1:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Jane said three.

1:13:29.320 --> 1:13:33.880
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, and then stone cold fed him to the pigs.

1:13:34.360 --> 1:13:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, take that, yeah.

1:13:35.880 --> 1:13:38.000
<v Speaker 7>Because you don't let nothing go to wait, that's.

1:13:37.840 --> 1:13:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, fed him to the pigs, fed him to

1:13:40.520 --> 1:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the pigs. Yeah. My snake handling days are numbered now

1:13:48.320 --> 1:13:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that we have good insurance.

1:13:49.800 --> 1:13:51.000
<v Speaker 4>I ain't called one since then.

1:13:51.200 --> 1:13:52.599
<v Speaker 1>I messed with him a little bit.

1:13:52.880 --> 1:13:54.720
<v Speaker 7>Did your insurance agent listen to.

1:13:54.760 --> 1:13:58.840
<v Speaker 1>This, hope not?

1:14:01.520 --> 1:14:01.760
<v Speaker 4>What?

1:14:02.120 --> 1:14:02.599
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

1:14:02.680 --> 1:14:05.000
<v Speaker 8>Do you want to tell people who would be interested

1:14:05.160 --> 1:14:06.599
<v Speaker 8>in supporting.

1:14:07.080 --> 1:14:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, at the end, we're going to do that. We're

1:14:09.520 --> 1:14:15.479

<v Speaker 7>We had visited when you were at the house, and

1:14:22.880 --> 1:14:26.120
<v Speaker 7>I had said something about I was surprised that it

1:14:26.160 --> 1:14:30.000
<v Speaker 7>didn't end in, you know, gun a gun battle or

1:14:30.080 --> 1:14:33.160
<v Speaker 7>gun shots or something like that. And I had visited

1:14:33.200 --> 1:14:36.639
<v Speaker 7>with a gentleman in Voxley Valley and I won't mention

1:14:36.720 --> 1:14:38.600
<v Speaker 7>his name because he didn't tell me I could. I

1:14:38.640 --> 1:14:42.160
<v Speaker 7>didn't ask I should have, but I asked him that question,

1:14:42.240 --> 1:14:45.040
<v Speaker 7>and I said, how in the world did we, you know,

1:14:45.160 --> 1:14:49.559
<v Speaker 7>avoid somebody getting shot? Because with everybody who you know,

1:14:49.600 --> 1:14:52.280
<v Speaker 7>everybody hunted, so everybody had I mean everybody had guns.

1:14:52.600 --> 1:14:55.160
<v Speaker 7>And he said, because we were good Christian people and

1:14:55.200 --> 1:14:59.280
<v Speaker 7>we knew better. And I thought, well, you know, I

1:14:59.320 --> 1:15:01.000
<v Speaker 7>guess I was that was it?

1:15:01.080 --> 1:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

1:15:01.479 --> 1:15:04.519
<v Speaker 7>And that was I really think that that was was it.

1:15:05.160 --> 1:15:07.680
<v Speaker 7>There was a case in Serse County and if you

1:15:07.680 --> 1:15:09.040
<v Speaker 7>want to hear it, I'll read it, and if not,

1:15:09.160 --> 1:15:12.080
<v Speaker 7>that's fine. But there was a case in Sersey County

1:15:12.120 --> 1:15:16.080
<v Speaker 7>where the person who was moved off, they said that

1:15:16.120 --> 1:15:19.439
<v Speaker 7>they were held at gunpoint. And I spoke to their

1:15:19.800 --> 1:15:22.000
<v Speaker 7>I think it was the great granddaughter, and I asked

1:15:22.040 --> 1:15:24.960
<v Speaker 7>them if I could read it here, if time permitted

1:15:25.000 --> 1:15:28.160
<v Speaker 7>and all that, and she said yes, but it was

1:15:28.200 --> 1:15:30.840
<v Speaker 7>something that was really difficult for their family. Of course,

1:15:30.880 --> 1:15:33.599
<v Speaker 7>it was Curse County, so it's it's out of my realm.

1:15:33.680 --> 1:15:35.880
<v Speaker 7>I had heard about it, but I didn't know. I

1:15:35.880 --> 1:15:39.479
<v Speaker 7>didn't even remember their names. But so there was a

1:15:39.520 --> 1:15:43.800
<v Speaker 7>case where one family was held at gunpoint and they

1:15:43.920 --> 1:15:46.960
<v Speaker 7>received a declaration of taking as well. So they were

1:15:47.000 --> 1:15:49.640
<v Speaker 7>one of the few of those that was you know,

1:15:49.640 --> 1:15:52.000
<v Speaker 7>that was given out and it and it was strange

1:15:52.080 --> 1:15:54.479
<v Speaker 7>whenever those were given out, it seemed like that the

1:15:54.520 --> 1:15:57.719
<v Speaker 7>property value was a lot less. So for the Lost

1:15:57.840 --> 1:16:02.520
<v Speaker 7>Valley and the Keatons, the initial amount that was deposited

1:16:02.640 --> 1:16:06.360
<v Speaker 7>in there in the holding account for them for that

1:16:06.439 --> 1:16:08.599
<v Speaker 7>property was thirteen thousand dollars.

1:16:08.840 --> 1:16:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Wow, and this was like t far.

1:16:11.920 --> 1:16:14.320
<v Speaker 7>I would assume it was one sixty just because that

1:16:14.439 --> 1:16:18.840
<v Speaker 7>was the homestead amount of land and so, and we

1:16:18.920 --> 1:16:22.280
<v Speaker 7>all know what Lost Valley looks like. It's it's absolutely incredible.

1:16:22.840 --> 1:16:24.400
<v Speaker 7>And I don't know that they owned all the way

1:16:24.479 --> 1:16:27.080
<v Speaker 7>up there, because the Primroses did own some up there

1:16:27.080 --> 1:16:30.200
<v Speaker 7>and the way land lays it's different. But it was

1:16:30.280 --> 1:16:34.160
<v Speaker 7>around the Beechwood School and the opening part of Lost Valley,

1:16:35.000 --> 1:16:39.400
<v Speaker 7>you know, for thirteen thousand, Yes, and they and the

1:16:39.520 --> 1:16:42.679
<v Speaker 7>slaves in Sarcey County, along with a few other families,

1:16:42.920 --> 1:16:46.799
<v Speaker 7>did take them to court to get a more fair amount.

1:16:47.240 --> 1:16:49.360
<v Speaker 7>And they as far as I know, I know the

1:16:49.400 --> 1:16:51.200
<v Speaker 7>slaves one and I know the Keatons one. I don't

1:16:51.240 --> 1:16:52.920
<v Speaker 7>know the outcome for the others that.

1:16:53.640 --> 1:16:57.559
<v Speaker 1>They can you can you summarize the story of the Gunpoint, Well,

1:16:57.800 --> 1:16:58.360
<v Speaker 1>let me look.

1:16:58.320 --> 1:17:00.320
<v Speaker 7>And see how long it is, real quick, and i'll

1:17:00.439 --> 1:17:02.360
<v Speaker 7>if you guys want to chat for just a second,

1:17:02.360 --> 1:17:07.000
<v Speaker 7>I'll find it. I think I've got it marked. Well,

1:17:09.160 --> 1:17:17.040
<v Speaker 7>it's not it's a couple paragraphs. Basically, the slaves were

1:17:17.080 --> 1:17:20.479
<v Speaker 7>wanting to do some blasting and the park was saying

1:17:20.520 --> 1:17:21.960
<v Speaker 7>that it was in an area where they were going

1:17:22.000 --> 1:17:24.080
<v Speaker 7>to blast the bluff, and they were saying, no, it's not,

1:17:24.439 --> 1:17:27.800
<v Speaker 7>it's so far away and so there's not going to

1:17:27.840 --> 1:17:30.120
<v Speaker 7>be any impact to the bluff. So just let us

1:17:30.160 --> 1:17:32.880
<v Speaker 7>do what we're going to do. And he had went

1:17:33.280 --> 1:17:36.240
<v Speaker 7>mister slay, I think his name was Emmett. He had

1:17:36.280 --> 1:17:39.320
<v Speaker 7>went to the park and they didn't even tell him

1:17:39.320 --> 1:17:41.080
<v Speaker 7>that they were going to serve him with a declaration

1:17:41.120 --> 1:17:45.200
<v Speaker 7>of taking the very next day. So he was there, say,

1:17:45.240 --> 1:17:48.280
<v Speaker 7>on a Tuesday, and then they served him on the

1:17:48.439 --> 1:17:53.320
<v Speaker 7>very next day and nobody said anything. And meanwhile his

1:17:53.360 --> 1:17:56.880
<v Speaker 7>wife was sick and I believe in bed, and he

1:17:56.960 --> 1:17:59.880
<v Speaker 7>had went out looking for a sick calf. And while

1:17:59.920 --> 1:18:02.160
<v Speaker 7>he was out looking for that calf, these two men

1:18:02.240 --> 1:18:04.679
<v Speaker 7>approached him. And as he was going to that place,

1:18:04.840 --> 1:18:07.439
<v Speaker 7>he was listening on the radio and it said that

1:18:07.479 --> 1:18:10.400
<v Speaker 7>there were two escape convicts. To be on the lookout

1:18:10.439 --> 1:18:14.200
<v Speaker 7>for these two escape convicts, And so he was, you know,

1:18:14.560 --> 1:18:16.599
<v Speaker 7>as we are around, you know, well will you pay

1:18:16.600 --> 1:18:19.280
<v Speaker 7>a little extra attention if you're out and about And

1:18:19.800 --> 1:18:22.479
<v Speaker 7>he was looking for that calf, and two armed men

1:18:22.520 --> 1:18:27.400
<v Speaker 7>with shotguns stepped up on him and said, you need

1:18:27.439 --> 1:18:30.280
<v Speaker 7>to We have taken this land as of ten o'clock

1:18:30.320 --> 1:18:32.760
<v Speaker 7>this morning. You need to go back home. There's a

1:18:32.800 --> 1:18:39.480
<v Speaker 7>man there with your wife and he let out, and

1:18:39.120 --> 1:18:42.839
<v Speaker 7>his statement says that their fingers were on the trigger

1:18:42.920 --> 1:18:46.760
<v Speaker 7>of the shotguns. And I believe it was the superintendent

1:18:46.800 --> 1:18:48.640
<v Speaker 7>of the Park Service, who wasn't even in town at

1:18:48.640 --> 1:18:51.280
<v Speaker 7>that time, denied that and said they weren't, but I

1:18:51.320 --> 1:18:53.439
<v Speaker 7>believe it was marshals. I don't even know if it

1:18:53.479 --> 1:18:56.280
<v Speaker 7>was actual park Service employees, and I think that happened

1:18:56.320 --> 1:18:59.760
<v Speaker 7>a lot where things were contracted out. But either way,

1:18:59.840 --> 1:19:02.200
<v Speaker 7>the these men showed up at gunpoint, and when he

1:19:02.240 --> 1:19:05.080
<v Speaker 7>got to his house, there was somebody with a gun

1:19:05.120 --> 1:19:08.800
<v Speaker 7>in his home and they were told to get out

1:19:08.840 --> 1:19:11.120
<v Speaker 7>of their home. That at ten o'clock that morning, it

1:19:11.200 --> 1:19:14.599
<v Speaker 7>was no longer their home. Wow. So it's you know,

1:19:15.320 --> 1:19:18.439
<v Speaker 7>when we talk about the black and white and all

1:19:18.479 --> 1:19:22.080
<v Speaker 7>the gray and the muddy areas, there are good and

1:19:22.160 --> 1:19:25.679
<v Speaker 7>there are bad in all of this. But in order

1:19:25.800 --> 1:19:28.519
<v Speaker 7>to in order to get past it, we got to

1:19:28.560 --> 1:19:31.720
<v Speaker 7>own it. You got to own all that crap. You

1:19:31.800 --> 1:19:34.559
<v Speaker 7>got to own all the bad stuff before you can

1:19:34.560 --> 1:19:36.560
<v Speaker 7>come out on the other side. If you want locals

1:19:36.960 --> 1:19:40.160
<v Speaker 7>and people to get on board with preservation and conservation,

1:19:40.560 --> 1:19:46.759
<v Speaker 7>you need to acknowledge their hurt feelings and their lost

1:19:47.080 --> 1:19:53.599
<v Speaker 7>legacy because for us subsistence subsistence farming, you don't make money,

1:19:54.080 --> 1:19:56.679
<v Speaker 7>you know, you get by you grow what you eat.

1:19:57.000 --> 1:19:59.560
<v Speaker 7>And they would everybody would grow a watermelon patch and

1:19:59.600 --> 1:20:01.599
<v Speaker 7>they would that to town and that would be their

1:20:01.600 --> 1:20:05.160
<v Speaker 7>spending money. And so when you take their land, that's

1:20:05.200 --> 1:20:07.240
<v Speaker 7>their legacy, that's what they were going to give to

1:20:07.320 --> 1:20:09.720
<v Speaker 7>their children, their great you know, and it would just

1:20:09.720 --> 1:20:13.920
<v Speaker 7>be passed on. Like myself, I'm seventh generation to work

1:20:14.000 --> 1:20:16.920
<v Speaker 7>and live on the farm that my ancestors you know,

1:20:17.000 --> 1:20:20.080
<v Speaker 7>provided to me. It's been but now my parents did

1:20:20.120 --> 1:20:23.720
<v Speaker 7>a lot of work stitching it all together, because as

1:20:23.760 --> 1:20:28.599
<v Speaker 7>time moves on, you lose bits and pieces. And so

1:20:28.640 --> 1:20:32.240
<v Speaker 7>when you take, when you take so much from a people,

1:20:32.320 --> 1:20:34.799
<v Speaker 7>and then you know, we see a lot of threads

1:20:34.840 --> 1:20:37.200
<v Speaker 7>and stuff on social media that say get over it,

1:20:37.760 --> 1:20:41.200
<v Speaker 7>just get over it. That happened so long ago. How

1:20:41.200 --> 1:20:44.559
<v Speaker 7>would you deal with someone coming to your home and

1:20:44.640 --> 1:20:48.519
<v Speaker 7>saying I own your house. Get out, you don't own

1:20:48.560 --> 1:20:51.840
<v Speaker 7>it anymore, and you saying, well, yeah I do. I've

1:20:51.840 --> 1:20:54.320
<v Speaker 7>made all the payments, you know, I'm free and clear,

1:20:54.439 --> 1:20:57.880
<v Speaker 7>this is my house. And I think that a lot

1:20:57.920 --> 1:21:03.599
<v Speaker 7>of people need that need conversations like this to put

1:21:03.640 --> 1:21:06.320
<v Speaker 7>a face on it so that they can see their

1:21:06.360 --> 1:21:10.720
<v Speaker 7>mamma or see their self in that situation where if

1:21:10.760 --> 1:21:13.160
<v Speaker 7>I was in that place, how would I feel? Because

1:21:13.320 --> 1:21:15.559
<v Speaker 7>there's always a price to be paid, but until you're

1:21:15.600 --> 1:21:17.320
<v Speaker 7>the one paying the price, you don't really care what

1:21:17.360 --> 1:21:18.200
<v Speaker 7>the price tag is.

1:21:18.840 --> 1:21:26.160
<v Speaker 2>H Yeah, No, that's that's great. I think we got

1:21:26.200 --> 1:21:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the redesignation a little bit, Kyle, what

1:21:31.760 --> 1:21:32.080
<v Speaker 2>do you?

1:21:32.120 --> 1:21:32.599
<v Speaker 4>What do you?

1:21:32.760 --> 1:21:35.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we laid it out. I mean, the bottom

1:21:35.560 --> 1:21:38.160
<v Speaker 2>line is that there's there's groups in Arkansas. It's not

1:21:38.200 --> 1:21:40.720
<v Speaker 2>the National Park Service that are wanting to redesignate the

1:21:40.800 --> 1:21:44.000
<v Speaker 2>river and it would be an upgrade in national park

1:21:44.040 --> 1:21:47.479
<v Speaker 2>designation to right now, it's a the Buffalo National River

1:21:47.640 --> 1:21:51.439
<v Speaker 2>and the proposal and it's not an official proposal. It's

1:21:51.439 --> 1:21:53.559
<v Speaker 2>not like this is in law or it's come to

1:21:53.680 --> 1:21:57.519
<v Speaker 2>vote or there was just talk of, which is very

1:21:57.560 --> 1:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>serious talk of from the groups that it came from,

1:22:00.000 --> 1:22:04.679
<v Speaker 2>about redesignating the river to a National park and preserve, which,

1:22:05.680 --> 1:22:09.160
<v Speaker 2>as I understand, it would mean that the Buffalo National

1:22:09.200 --> 1:22:13.720
<v Speaker 2>River would like ray elevate in status and and and

1:22:13.800 --> 1:22:16.960
<v Speaker 2>it basically it would attract a whole bunch more people.

1:22:18.800 --> 1:22:22.559
<v Speaker 2>But Kyle, what do we what do y'all think about that?

1:22:22.680 --> 1:22:25.040
<v Speaker 6>I've got a lot of thoughts about it, but uh,

1:22:25.240 --> 1:22:27.880
<v Speaker 6>before before I give you some, I want to ask

1:22:27.920 --> 1:22:31.240
<v Speaker 6>the group what do we think is more exploitive?

1:22:31.840 --> 1:22:32.320
<v Speaker 4>Is it the.

1:22:34.200 --> 1:22:35.960
<v Speaker 6>Was it the original people who live there, or is

1:22:36.000 --> 1:22:38.799
<v Speaker 6>it a national river or a national park and preserve?

1:22:39.800 --> 1:22:42.160
<v Speaker 4>What do y'all think if.

1:22:43.800 --> 1:22:47.720
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna I guess we're gonna find exploitive. Yeah, exploitive

1:22:48.120 --> 1:22:50.040
<v Speaker 6>for the use of the land or the river.

1:22:50.520 --> 1:22:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Hmm, unanswerable.

1:22:55.120 --> 1:22:56.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how you answer that.

1:22:56.479 --> 1:22:57.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't know how you answered.

1:22:57.920 --> 1:23:01.240
<v Speaker 9>What I wish is I left everybody alone and every

1:23:01.320 --> 1:23:04.240
<v Speaker 9>generation since then was still have that place.

1:23:04.400 --> 1:23:06.080
<v Speaker 5>And I was best friends with them, so I could go.

1:23:06.080 --> 1:23:09.880
<v Speaker 6>Down there so you can also enjoy it and photo.

1:23:10.400 --> 1:23:12.920
<v Speaker 6>You really can't answer it. But I just I've been

1:23:13.000 --> 1:23:15.280
<v Speaker 6>chewing on that since somebody brought it up, maybe earlier.

1:23:15.280 --> 1:23:17.720
<v Speaker 6>Of the exploitive quote, and and you know, you have

1:23:17.760 --> 1:23:20.920
<v Speaker 6>the exploiters and the preservers kind of kind of thing.

1:23:21.000 --> 1:23:23.719
<v Speaker 6>It doesn't seem like a fair dichotomy to place people

1:23:23.720 --> 1:23:24.799
<v Speaker 6>in because.

1:23:24.560 --> 1:23:26.919
<v Speaker 5>I don't even think the original I think it exploited.

1:23:26.920 --> 1:23:31.200
<v Speaker 5>It called them exploiters. That was that was just poor terminology.

1:23:31.400 --> 1:23:36.080
<v Speaker 6>It is, yeah, I would yeah, I think we exploit

1:23:37.720 --> 1:23:40.760
<v Speaker 6>the river now more than it was ever was ever

1:23:40.800 --> 1:23:42.639
<v Speaker 6>being done before as far as.

1:23:44.080 --> 1:23:45.200
<v Speaker 4>Tourist dollars.

1:23:45.439 --> 1:23:49.600
<v Speaker 6>Uh yeah, I mean people people wanting to float it,

1:23:49.640 --> 1:23:51.360
<v Speaker 6>people using it as they should. It's I mean, it's

1:23:51.360 --> 1:23:53.639
<v Speaker 6>a national river and it's it's public and they can

1:23:53.800 --> 1:23:58.519
<v Speaker 6>and uh Miss Misty's talked about the the cars lining

1:23:58.600 --> 1:24:01.519
<v Speaker 6>bumper to bumper to bumper down miles and miles of

1:24:01.560 --> 1:24:03.160
<v Speaker 6>road for people who just want to get a taste

1:24:03.200 --> 1:24:05.360
<v Speaker 6>of the Buffalo, they just want to experience it for

1:24:05.400 --> 1:24:08.720
<v Speaker 6>the first time. And so I think the redesignation to

1:24:08.760 --> 1:24:12.479
<v Speaker 6>go there the way it went about, and we've talked

1:24:12.479 --> 1:24:14.760
<v Speaker 6>about it before, and y'all have read about it and

1:24:14.760 --> 1:24:17.000
<v Speaker 6>heard about it and seen other people cover it.

1:24:17.040 --> 1:24:19.080
<v Speaker 4>They seemed to do or want to do.

1:24:21.400 --> 1:24:23.880
<v Speaker 6>They went about, I guess I should say the conversation

1:24:24.000 --> 1:24:27.080
<v Speaker 6>for redesignating it in a very similar way that happened

1:24:27.120 --> 1:24:28.639
<v Speaker 6>about fifty years ago, which was.

1:24:30.160 --> 1:24:30.840
<v Speaker 4>Grassroots.

1:24:30.880 --> 1:24:33.120
<v Speaker 6>Only a couple of people let the news spread as

1:24:33.120 --> 1:24:37.400
<v Speaker 6>it needed to, but it wasn't an official here's a proposal,

1:24:37.479 --> 1:24:39.280
<v Speaker 6>let's talk about it. And gather everybody, which is I

1:24:39.320 --> 1:24:41.680
<v Speaker 6>know why Missy, you know, called a town hall. We're

1:24:41.680 --> 1:24:44.479
<v Speaker 6>going to get everybody involved and we're going to figure

1:24:44.479 --> 1:24:46.680
<v Speaker 6>out what they're saying. And the language was masked and

1:24:46.760 --> 1:24:49.360
<v Speaker 6>hidden and not very readable or understandable. And that's not

1:24:49.520 --> 1:24:51.760
<v Speaker 6>to say, well, the people who live there don't know

1:24:51.760 --> 1:24:54.439
<v Speaker 6>how to read the question and understand it. You don't

1:24:54.439 --> 1:24:56.400
<v Speaker 6>know how to like it doesn't make sense in some ways.

1:24:56.400 --> 1:24:59.640
<v Speaker 6>It's just very very governmental.

1:25:01.400 --> 1:25:02.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what.

1:25:03.520 --> 1:25:03.960
<v Speaker 5>It's kind of.

1:25:04.080 --> 1:25:07.680
<v Speaker 6>It's purposefully, purposefully deceptive, and yeah, a little bit a

1:25:07.680 --> 1:25:10.880
<v Speaker 6>little bit hidden, and so not to name all the

1:25:10.880 --> 1:25:13.280
<v Speaker 6>players that we've found out and have asked to interview

1:25:13.360 --> 1:25:15.519
<v Speaker 6>and they've declined and said no comment, all that kind

1:25:15.560 --> 1:25:18.519
<v Speaker 6>of stuff. But I think big Arkansas money, you can

1:25:18.600 --> 1:25:19.960
<v Speaker 6>let your mind go where you need that to go.

1:25:20.200 --> 1:25:26.719
<v Speaker 6>And Arkansas Governmental Power had this redesignation proposal on the table,

1:25:26.760 --> 1:25:30.160
<v Speaker 6>and I think wanted to I wanted to see it elevated.

1:25:30.200 --> 1:25:33.120
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if it's for more protection. I don't

1:25:33.120 --> 1:25:35.640
<v Speaker 6>know if it's for more hunting and fishing rights, or

1:25:35.680 --> 1:25:37.360
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if it's because they also just want

1:25:37.360 --> 1:25:40.639
<v Speaker 6>more control over it so they can increase tourist dollars,

1:25:40.840 --> 1:25:44.080
<v Speaker 6>and so it's I think I have opinions about it.

1:25:44.120 --> 1:25:46.400
<v Speaker 6>I know where I land on it, but nothing is

1:25:46.920 --> 1:25:49.040
<v Speaker 6>official enough to comment on it and then not come

1:25:49.080 --> 1:25:49.519
<v Speaker 6>back later.

1:25:49.600 --> 1:25:52.519
<v Speaker 4>And you know, look the fool for talking about it that.

1:25:52.439 --> 1:25:55.679
<v Speaker 1>Way to me, And what I reported to the world

1:25:55.720 --> 1:26:00.280
<v Speaker 1>in this podcast was like the what the commute feel

1:26:00.280 --> 1:26:04.120
<v Speaker 1>confidence saying the consensus of the community is that they

1:26:04.120 --> 1:26:04.720
<v Speaker 1>don't want this.

1:26:05.160 --> 1:26:06.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a bad idea, I.

1:26:06.560 --> 1:26:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Mean, and that's that's even more powerful than your opinion

1:26:10.760 --> 1:26:12.720
<v Speaker 2>or my opinion totally, because I mean, like for me

1:26:12.800 --> 1:26:16.920
<v Speaker 2>to have an opinion that I'm trying to push doing

1:26:16.960 --> 1:26:19.840
<v Speaker 2>the same thing that the group that's trying to push

1:26:19.920 --> 1:26:22.400
<v Speaker 2>their opinion. I mean, for real, Like if you notice

1:26:22.439 --> 1:26:24.880
<v Speaker 2>on that podcast, I didn't say whether I was four

1:26:25.000 --> 1:26:28.479
<v Speaker 2>or against it, but I mean, I think it's clear.

1:26:28.680 --> 1:26:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm against it, but I don't want that

1:26:32.000 --> 1:26:35.479
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter. What matters was the clip that I used

1:26:36.080 --> 1:26:38.320
<v Speaker 2>where the it was the one of the board.

1:26:38.080 --> 1:26:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Members of Farm BUA.

1:26:39.800 --> 1:26:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, where he said, hey, we as a board and

1:26:43.240 --> 1:26:45.840
<v Speaker 2>not that Farm Bureau speaks for the county. But I

1:26:45.880 --> 1:26:49.200
<v Speaker 2>felt like he was speaking for the county in a way,

1:26:49.600 --> 1:26:52.400
<v Speaker 2>and he just said, we don't think there's any benefit

1:26:52.439 --> 1:26:54.800
<v Speaker 2>to this, and I mean, that's kind of where it

1:26:54.880 --> 1:26:55.439
<v Speaker 2>lands with me.

1:26:56.080 --> 1:26:58.200
<v Speaker 6>BHA would say the same thing. I'm on the Public

1:26:58.280 --> 1:27:01.000
<v Speaker 6>Waters Committee of BHA. It's like, doesn't seem like it

1:27:01.040 --> 1:27:03.240
<v Speaker 6>helps anything. If anything, it seems like it could come

1:27:03.240 --> 1:27:06.720
<v Speaker 6>around to take away what we're fighting for, that kind

1:27:06.720 --> 1:27:09.320
<v Speaker 6>of stuff. And so but I'm like, y'all, I just

1:27:09.760 --> 1:27:11.600
<v Speaker 6>I enjoy it. I've grown up loving it, but I

1:27:11.640 --> 1:27:14.519
<v Speaker 6>don't live in it. And so I think I'm I

1:27:14.520 --> 1:27:18.479
<v Speaker 6>think I care enough about people being able to be

1:27:18.560 --> 1:27:22.960
<v Speaker 6>left alone. That's very Arkansas of me, very Bzarkian of me,

1:27:23.240 --> 1:27:27.559
<v Speaker 6>like leave us alone, that whole sentiment, that's America. Be

1:27:27.680 --> 1:27:32.120
<v Speaker 6>just American of me. But Misty, doctor, Misty, you are.

1:27:33.040 --> 1:27:34.559
<v Speaker 8>I was just going to say, it seems like it

1:27:34.600 --> 1:27:37.439
<v Speaker 8>would further restrict the people who still live there right now.

1:27:37.640 --> 1:27:40.000
<v Speaker 8>I mean, that seems to be what they could do

1:27:40.040 --> 1:27:42.800
<v Speaker 8>on their own property. And if it doesn't produce a

1:27:42.800 --> 1:27:46.040
<v Speaker 8>massive benefit, I mean, I think it's worth a debate

1:27:46.280 --> 1:27:49.439
<v Speaker 8>even if it produced significant benefit for everybody else in

1:27:49.479 --> 1:27:52.960
<v Speaker 8>the world. And I still don't think it would be

1:27:53.000 --> 1:27:55.880
<v Speaker 8>a well, for sure, we should do it, but especially

1:27:56.080 --> 1:27:59.439
<v Speaker 8>since it does not seem to produce much benefit. I mean,

1:27:59.680 --> 1:28:02.479
<v Speaker 8>that's that's just I get, is that it doesn't really

1:28:03.320 --> 1:28:06.639
<v Speaker 8>what doesn't improve, Yeah, and it certainly would take away

1:28:06.720 --> 1:28:08.439
<v Speaker 8>some some thing.

1:28:08.439 --> 1:28:11.840
<v Speaker 6>Almost won't value say what it would improve, at least

1:28:11.880 --> 1:28:13.920
<v Speaker 6>in the current stage. When we were uncovering it last fall,

1:28:14.520 --> 1:28:16.799
<v Speaker 6>I say, we a lot of people uncovered it, Misty

1:28:16.840 --> 1:28:18.840
<v Speaker 6>really uncovered it, and other people were talking about it.

1:28:18.880 --> 1:28:24.320
<v Speaker 6>But the proposal almost wasn't willing to say what it

1:28:24.360 --> 1:28:25.960
<v Speaker 6>wanted to do or what it would improve. It was

1:28:26.000 --> 1:28:29.400
<v Speaker 6>more just everybody agrees that a national park and preserve

1:28:29.479 --> 1:28:31.400
<v Speaker 6>is better than a national river, Like that's what we

1:28:31.479 --> 1:28:33.719
<v Speaker 6>do around here. We make things better. So of course

1:28:33.920 --> 1:28:36.280
<v Speaker 6>of course it's better. It's a higher designation. And when

1:28:36.280 --> 1:28:38.680
<v Speaker 6>you're trying to figure out what that means, that it

1:28:38.800 --> 1:28:40.479
<v Speaker 6>just doesn't it doesn't come out clear.

1:28:40.960 --> 1:28:42.439
<v Speaker 5>But I in park and.

1:28:42.400 --> 1:28:46.240
<v Speaker 7>Preserve it is such a new idea within the park system.

1:28:46.600 --> 1:28:48.840
<v Speaker 7>I don't understand why you would want to take the

1:28:48.960 --> 1:28:54.439
<v Speaker 7>nation's very first national river a scenic waterway and fiddle

1:28:54.479 --> 1:28:57.479
<v Speaker 7>with it when you don't really when you don't know,

1:28:57.800 --> 1:29:00.599
<v Speaker 7>and number one, when you don't have the support of locals.

1:29:00.960 --> 1:29:03.040
<v Speaker 7>It seems like the only I don't wait out into

1:29:03.040 --> 1:29:05.160
<v Speaker 7>it because that Lord, I've waited out so deep now

1:29:05.200 --> 1:29:09.720
<v Speaker 7>that i'm you know, eyeball deep now up to turn

1:29:09.760 --> 1:29:14.559
<v Speaker 7>back out to Shakespeare's But it seems like the only

1:29:14.600 --> 1:29:16.840
<v Speaker 7>thing it's going to do is line some people's pockets.

1:29:18.040 --> 1:29:21.080
<v Speaker 7>And it's some some big people that maybe don't even

1:29:21.080 --> 1:29:24.439
<v Speaker 7>need their pockets lined. And the communities that they're dealing

1:29:24.479 --> 1:29:29.479
<v Speaker 7>with are teetering on. You know, there's there's a lot

1:29:29.520 --> 1:29:32.360
<v Speaker 7>of poverty. There's a lot of people but nobody knows

1:29:32.479 --> 1:29:34.800
<v Speaker 7>we're in poverty. We're just poor and we just go

1:29:34.920 --> 1:29:37.640
<v Speaker 7>on kind of a thing. But I think there's a

1:29:37.640 --> 1:29:42.320
<v Speaker 7>lot of people who look at the commercialization aspect of it,

1:29:42.400 --> 1:29:45.760
<v Speaker 7>like who wouldn't want more? Well, you know, once upon

1:29:45.840 --> 1:29:49.800
<v Speaker 7>a time, all of this in town, you know, this

1:29:49.960 --> 1:29:53.960
<v Speaker 7>was all prairies, this was this was wilderness areas too.

1:29:53.960 --> 1:29:55.760
<v Speaker 7>And I know we have to have cities, and I

1:29:55.800 --> 1:30:00.479
<v Speaker 7>know we have to have civilization, but why would we

1:30:00.520 --> 1:30:03.440
<v Speaker 7>want to start messing around in our national park system

1:30:03.880 --> 1:30:09.040
<v Speaker 7>to potentially commercialize and bring more people in when we

1:30:09.080 --> 1:30:11.559
<v Speaker 7>are not able to manage the people we have now?

1:30:11.880 --> 1:30:14.479
<v Speaker 7>And if we're praying that Congress is going to fund

1:30:14.520 --> 1:30:17.800
<v Speaker 7>the National Parks? Why do we have to be redesignated

1:30:17.840 --> 1:30:19.559
<v Speaker 7>in order to do that? Why don't they just fund

1:30:19.600 --> 1:30:23.160
<v Speaker 7>the National Parks? Is every park going to have to

1:30:23.160 --> 1:30:25.719
<v Speaker 7>go through because it's not just the Buffalo National River

1:30:25.800 --> 1:30:30.519
<v Speaker 7>that has issues with facilities and access in different areas

1:30:30.520 --> 1:30:33.240
<v Speaker 7>that we're needing help with. That's across the board of

1:30:33.400 --> 1:30:36.200
<v Speaker 7>all the National Parks properties. Do they all need to

1:30:36.200 --> 1:30:38.360
<v Speaker 7>be redesignated in order to get a little bit of

1:30:38.400 --> 1:30:42.640
<v Speaker 7>cash to fund them? You know, to me, that's nonsense.

1:30:42.800 --> 1:30:45.519
<v Speaker 7>It's just nonsense to think that we're going to have

1:30:45.560 --> 1:30:47.320
<v Speaker 7>to go through some process in order to get some

1:30:48.040 --> 1:30:49.200
<v Speaker 7>extra money.

1:30:49.000 --> 1:30:49.360
<v Speaker 4>Right right?

1:30:49.400 --> 1:30:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I understand yeah, because that would probably be the first

1:30:51.800 --> 1:30:54.360
<v Speaker 2>thing that somebody would say is they would be like, well,

1:30:54.360 --> 1:30:55.920
<v Speaker 2>if you need more money, this is the way to

1:30:55.960 --> 1:30:58.320
<v Speaker 2>get more money. But then I've also heard that the

1:30:58.360 --> 1:31:00.920
<v Speaker 2>redesignation doesn't guarantee money.

1:31:00.640 --> 1:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't want to. I mean, I'm not ready to.

1:31:04.200 --> 1:31:06.800
<v Speaker 2>The podcast wasn't about all the details of the of

1:31:06.880 --> 1:31:08.920
<v Speaker 2>the redesignation, because I think.

1:31:08.840 --> 1:31:11.439
<v Speaker 8>They would have talked, they would have been a part

1:31:11.479 --> 1:31:14.960
<v Speaker 8>of this. I mean, you're not You're not You're not

1:31:15.760 --> 1:31:17.960
<v Speaker 8>that's the point of your conversation.

1:31:17.640 --> 1:31:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Is right, Oh yeah, oh yeah, we could have got

1:31:19.360 --> 1:31:21.639
<v Speaker 2>somebody to talk about the redesignation and that just wasn't

1:31:21.680 --> 1:31:24.160
<v Speaker 2>what we were talking about, you know. But but but

1:31:24.280 --> 1:31:28.560
<v Speaker 2>it was noteworthy and relevant to bring up at this point,

1:31:28.760 --> 1:31:28.960
<v Speaker 2>you know.

1:31:29.160 --> 1:31:31.120
<v Speaker 8>And is it going to piss out the people? I mean,

1:31:31.160 --> 1:31:32.559
<v Speaker 8>those are the things I think about. Is it going

1:31:32.560 --> 1:31:35.439
<v Speaker 8>to price out the people like has happened in Tennessee,

1:31:35.760 --> 1:31:38.600
<v Speaker 8>for the people around the Smoky Mountains where their grandkids

1:31:38.600 --> 1:31:42.120
<v Speaker 8>can't buy land near them. Those are those are things

1:31:42.160 --> 1:31:45.360
<v Speaker 8>that we should I think. Yeah, whenever you're talking about progress,

1:31:45.439 --> 1:31:47.559
<v Speaker 8>it's really important to de find what progress is.

1:31:48.240 --> 1:31:53.720
<v Speaker 1>And you know, people people like us take criticism, And

1:31:53.800 --> 1:31:56.479
<v Speaker 1>I will take criticism for even bringing up the Buffalo

1:31:56.560 --> 1:32:02.160
<v Speaker 1>National River because people will say that I'm like spot burning.

1:32:03.439 --> 1:32:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Just just even by bringing it up, right, they'd be like, well, Clay,

1:32:06.240 --> 1:32:09.320
<v Speaker 2>you're doing what because people might hear this and be like, man,

1:32:09.360 --> 1:32:13.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to go check out the river. I don't

1:32:13.200 --> 1:32:16.200
<v Speaker 2>know what to say about that. This is a story

1:32:16.200 --> 1:32:21.120
<v Speaker 2>that needs to be told, and don't come leave Misty

1:32:21.240 --> 1:32:23.200
<v Speaker 2>alone and her family them.

1:32:23.479 --> 1:32:25.920
<v Speaker 7>Well, you know, and I'm a cabin owner. So yeah,

1:32:26.640 --> 1:32:29.120
<v Speaker 7>you know, if anybody wants to call somebody a hypocrite,

1:32:29.120 --> 1:32:31.240
<v Speaker 7>I guess they can sling that at me. But I

1:32:31.680 --> 1:32:34.880
<v Speaker 7>look at it in a way that we have always

1:32:35.000 --> 1:32:39.559
<v Speaker 7>had tourism. I mean even ev and they would put

1:32:39.600 --> 1:32:43.080
<v Speaker 7>people up in houses for people and they would come down,

1:32:43.360 --> 1:32:45.639
<v Speaker 7>floaters would go down and she would cook for them

1:32:45.800 --> 1:32:48.400
<v Speaker 7>or you know, it was just that there's always been

1:32:49.400 --> 1:32:51.280
<v Speaker 7>there's always been somebody there wanting to see the river,

1:32:51.320 --> 1:32:53.479
<v Speaker 7>and we would just say like come on, you know,

1:32:54.080 --> 1:32:57.840
<v Speaker 7>but there is a threshold that that a river can

1:32:57.920 --> 1:33:00.439
<v Speaker 7>only take so much, you can only take so much

1:33:00.439 --> 1:33:04.559
<v Speaker 7>from it. And if we're looking at like with Neil

1:33:04.560 --> 1:33:08.439
<v Speaker 7>Compton in the Ozark Society, one of their biggest issues

1:33:08.680 --> 1:33:12.160
<v Speaker 7>was the horse ranch at Steel Creek, the Yarborough horse Ranch.

1:33:12.720 --> 1:33:14.800
<v Speaker 7>That was one of those things where they said we

1:33:15.160 --> 1:33:17.759
<v Speaker 7>absolutely have to get them off of this river because

1:33:17.840 --> 1:33:21.320
<v Speaker 7>they are destroying it. They are a nuisance. And I

1:33:21.320 --> 1:33:23.040
<v Speaker 7>forget all of the exact words, but there were some

1:33:23.040 --> 1:33:26.839
<v Speaker 7>pretty harsh words about that bunch of people, that family

1:33:26.880 --> 1:33:30.800
<v Speaker 7>that owned that and if we're going to commercialize it,

1:33:31.360 --> 1:33:35.080
<v Speaker 7>that's kind of like, well, you ran these people off

1:33:35.120 --> 1:33:38.000
<v Speaker 7>their land that they had legally bought and they had

1:33:38.040 --> 1:33:42.519
<v Speaker 7>a business there and they weren't affecting anybody, and people

1:33:42.560 --> 1:33:45.280
<v Speaker 7>came from all over the world to buy Arabian horses

1:33:45.280 --> 1:33:49.439
<v Speaker 7>from them. And so if we're going to commercialize it,

1:33:49.439 --> 1:33:53.360
<v Speaker 7>it doesn't seem like that we're really being conservationists. If

1:33:53.400 --> 1:33:55.880
<v Speaker 7>we take from one person, they're just not good enough

1:33:55.880 --> 1:33:57.759
<v Speaker 7>to do what we want. And then later on, fifty

1:33:57.840 --> 1:34:01.240
<v Speaker 7>years later, well let's do it something else and maybe

1:34:01.240 --> 1:34:04.040
<v Speaker 7>bring in a few more people and maybe do this

1:34:04.080 --> 1:34:09.560
<v Speaker 7>and maybe do that. You know, that's a little bit underhanded.

1:34:09.760 --> 1:34:14.479
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, yep, well, this has been great, guys, Lake,

1:34:14.520 --> 1:34:18.000
<v Speaker 2>thanks for coming, Thanks for having me, Kyle, much appreciated,

1:34:18.080 --> 1:34:19.479
<v Speaker 2>Miss Ship, thank you for coming.

1:34:22.040 --> 1:34:24.760
<v Speaker 5>And all you other people, all you local exploiters.

1:34:25.360 --> 1:34:26.800
<v Speaker 7>Don't forget about the money.

1:34:26.640 --> 1:34:27.080
<v Speaker 4>Follow them.

1:34:27.160 --> 1:34:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Well so Buffalo River Partners.

1:34:31.960 --> 1:34:34.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I'd spoke with one of the one of the

1:34:34.560 --> 1:34:36.840
<v Speaker 7>people on the I think on the board, I believe

1:34:36.920 --> 1:34:38.360
<v Speaker 7>she's on the board, and she told me who the

1:34:38.360 --> 1:34:42.559
<v Speaker 7>president was, gave me his number, and the amount that

1:34:42.600 --> 1:34:45.479
<v Speaker 7>they have gotten. They've already they've already reached the amount

1:34:45.479 --> 1:34:47.760
<v Speaker 7>that they needed for Granny Henderson's house to do the

1:34:48.120 --> 1:34:51.160
<v Speaker 7>reconstruction or the repairs that they're going to do, and

1:34:51.200 --> 1:34:53.639
<v Speaker 7>that's supposed to start this fall and winter. But they

1:34:53.640 --> 1:34:56.120
<v Speaker 7>have a lot of other historic structures within the park.

1:34:56.520 --> 1:34:58.479
<v Speaker 7>One of them is at the junction of seventy four

1:34:58.560 --> 1:35:00.439
<v Speaker 7>and forty three and a lot of people know that

1:35:00.560 --> 1:35:03.560
<v Speaker 7>is the Beaver Jim Boyhood Home and that's one that

1:35:03.600 --> 1:35:05.760
<v Speaker 7>they're going to have to start working on soon. So

1:35:05.880 --> 1:35:08.400
<v Speaker 7>if anybody you had mentioned, if you know, people had

1:35:08.439 --> 1:35:11.479
<v Speaker 7>wanted to donate, if they do, it's not going to

1:35:11.560 --> 1:35:15.000
<v Speaker 7>go particularly to EV's house, but it will go into

1:35:15.040 --> 1:35:19.000
<v Speaker 7>a fund for the historic structures. So that's something you know,

1:35:19.000 --> 1:35:20.439
<v Speaker 7>I can put you in touch with them, and.

1:35:20.439 --> 1:35:24.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah it worked out so Buffalo River Partners. I'll

1:35:24.840 --> 1:35:27.200
<v Speaker 2>probably post a link on my social media. But that

1:35:27.200 --> 1:35:30.479
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of people wanting to contribute to Granny's house,

1:35:30.479 --> 1:35:32.599
<v Speaker 2>which is it's a good it's a good thing that

1:35:33.200 --> 1:35:35.559
<v Speaker 2>they already have the money they need to repair it

1:35:35.600 --> 1:35:38.120
<v Speaker 2>in the way they do, so that's big. But you

1:35:38.120 --> 1:35:41.840
<v Speaker 2>can still we can still gather up some money for

1:35:42.120 --> 1:35:43.920
<v Speaker 2>other there's there's lots.

1:35:44.080 --> 1:35:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I.

1:35:44.840 --> 1:35:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Just cherry picked Granny's story and hers was the most famous,

1:35:49.040 --> 1:35:52.240
<v Speaker 2>but there's a ton of other other stories and other

1:35:52.400 --> 1:35:53.920
<v Speaker 2>historic structures on the river.

1:35:54.400 --> 1:35:56.120
<v Speaker 4>You can just fix it once. You got to keep

1:35:56.120 --> 1:35:56.439
<v Speaker 4>it up.

1:35:57.080 --> 1:35:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's true. So yeah, so look for some inform

1:36:00.200 --> 1:36:03.680
<v Speaker 1>of that, but it's the Buffalo River Partners. It's specifically

1:36:03.800 --> 1:36:07.519

1:36:20.520 --> 1:36:23.160
<v Speaker 2>two weeks there. I was over over in Newton County

1:36:23.280 --> 1:36:26.439
<v Speaker 2>like every three days, you know, meeting people and talking

1:36:26.439 --> 1:36:27.519
