In this episode, Clay Newcomb shines a deeper light on the land acquisition for the Buffalo National River in 1972, including a rare glimpse of the woman who was the face of the resistance, none other than icon of the Buffalo River, Eva Barnes "Granny" Henderson. In an original recording, "Granny" describes life on the Buff'lo in her own words, including a historical-turned-modern conversation with her granddaughter, Jane Kilgore. The discussion goes on with accounts of pressure and intimidation tactics used on landowners to force them to vacate their property.   Misty Langdon of the Remnants Project and Dr. Brooks Blevins return and provide context on the surrounding events that transpired to keep the river from being dammed, while at the same time affecting so many lives.  Connect with Clay and MeatEater Clay on Instagram MeatEater on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and Youtube Clips MeatEater Podcast Network on YouTube Shop Bear Grease MerchSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
