I'm 62 , and I've saw the movie with my dad and brother at the theater. I recently watched it for free on TH-cam. He had to have been one tough guy. Sheriff's are elected and hold a very important and powerful position. Always, vet , vote , and select your Sheriff very carefully. God bless you madam.

I have toured the sites including the museum associated with Bufford while on vacation down south to visit my sister who lives in the area. I met his daughter Dwana several times before her passing and she gave us a personal tour of his house and museum. Dwana was such a wonderful person and the museum was her contribution to his legacy.
That was NOT his daughter ! Those 2 children were Pauline's by another man before Burford even met her . That walking tall movie with Joe Don Baker was a Hollywood Hype Movie , in 1964 Pusser busted 42 moonshine stills and Arrested 80 local McNairy County Boys , that's 2 men per moonshine still and in some cases only one single man
@@zacharyking900she lied. Elvis didn't even know Pusser. He was not dating Miss Tennessee. Anne has always denied it. He was an alcoholic and so was Pauline. He drove drunk every day. The alcohol hid in the car in the movie was how he hauled his jack Daniel's. He and Pauline were both dating others. He didn't have scars on his chest. That was all Hollywood. He dated a black woman that had to leave town to avoid being murdered. Dwana denied it. She's still living and still afraid. Dwana was an alcoholic and addicted to Rx pills. She denied it but was waiting to serve her time for dwi.
My family is from there & my mom actually met him when he was running for sheriff. He stopped by my cousin’s house & left his card. Mom said our cousin said “That man will lose his life trying to clean up McNairy County” Sad story, thank you for covering it.

What a terrible and sad ending to one of the Greatest Sheriff's of all time.. I was a kid when all this happened and inspired me to start a lifetime career as a Deputy Sheriff. (Now retired). Rest in peace, Bufford and Pauline......
Thank you for doing this Jordan. I have family in McNairy. My dad was at the fair the night Buford lost his life. The movie was a great movie about his life.
I was just thinking about Sheriff Buford Hayes Pusser (12/12/37-8/21/74), yesterday & here I find a well done video today!! I remember watching walking Tall back in the 1980’s. May God Bless him & thank You for your service & sacrifices!! God Bless America 🇺🇸 too. LEO

Thank you for doing this, Jordan. Buford was my husband's cousin. Buford and Pauline's daughter, Dwana is also buried there beside her Dad and Mom. Her full name is Dwana Pusser Garrison.
Thank you for covering this!! We visited the Pusser Home and Museum a few years ago, and it was closed that day too!! It was such a disappointment. I'm glad you are going back, and can't wait to see your video of it.

I remember this and the place being so close between both states, the" Tennissippi" line that no one took responsibility and kept passing the buck on the investigation or any law enforcement. Always excellent buddy!
I hated Dwayne Johnson's money grab and his pathetic portrayal of a man Johnson could never come close to being. I saw the original movie back in the 70's on TV. Week long event and I could not wait to get the s**t scared out of me again and again. This man was the epitome of justice. I never forgot his name. By the way, I learned some thing new today. I have never heard mention that Elvis helped with Buford's medical bills. That is amazing.

Wow, interesting video! I used to live in (Nashville) Tennessee, for about 7 years. I wish I would have travelled west to see this. He was certainly a larger-than-life Sherrif.
We drove down there in laye june and visited old jail in Selmer and his house museum now, grave site and his crash site. We visited where shamrock was at and white iris which is still there. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing this! We stopped on way down and visited the Pine Ridge Club that was used in the movie, lady there was really nice. People in Adamsville and area all really nice. Ate breakfast at Graces Place, highly highly recommend it! Food was great and so were all the people.
Walking Tall pt.1 and pt2. is still one of my favorite movies. Not only he carried a big stick he also carried a big gun as well.Every so often the movie based on his life will show on television.
The actor Joe Don Baker play Buford pusser in the first walking tall move. Leif Garrett, Dawn Lyn were the children actors. Leif and Dawn a real life brother and sister.
Thank you for sharing this video and story i live in Tennessee always wondered what happened to him rest in peace and my condolences 💐 to the families a great man and a legend

Need to go to spa guys pg.he interviewed a guy that has info on him not so squeaky clean whole thing and murders are still a mystery sad for his life tho🙄😥

Hi Jordan, can’t wait for your vlog on his home/museum. I just watched Walking Tall again a few months back. I know it wasn’t accurate but it definitely was eye opening to how corrupt & crazy it was. Just horrific about his wife. Didn’t his daughter have something to do with the museum? Safe travels
I lived in Adamsville and my landlord said she went to school with Pusser and she said he fought a lot in his youth and was a big ole boy who was used to getting his way. Terrible how he was ambushed and lost his wife. I read the book The 12th of August years ago...
@Rockjunkie annnnnd….there you are! didn’t figure it would be long before you would show back up in the comments, trying to ‘rain on someone else’s parade’… can’t imagine what being one of neighbors would be like… i bet you know ALL the ‘juicy stuff’ on them too! hell, you probably know all the dirt on EVERYBODY in the WHOLE TOWN you live in, no? your ‘THAT PERSON’ aren’t you? the one that feeds on gossipin’ 🤣🤣🤣
My Dad met Buford once back in the 1960s. I don't know exactly what year it was. All I know is that he met him at a Boat Racing event in East Tennessee.
I been there Many times through the years , I got pictures from All the places and went to the Museum , I wanted to meet Mr Pusser when he visited Baton Rouge , Louisiana Promoting his Movie but I was only 10 years old , anyway Great Video !!
A man's man. Talk about a man with integrity. His picture should be in the dictionary under integrity, brave and honorable. Can't believe he had to die in of all things a car accident. I visit McLemoresville, TN every year it's only an hour and a half south I may have to see it for myself. I remember going to the theater with my HS friend to see Walking Tall I graduated in 74.
Great video Jordan. Really interesting to learn about those historical road markers. For the few of you that keep insisting Pusser was "corrupt"... The 1960s were a very different time. Justice was often meted out in different ways in rural America in the early 20th century. So, while Sheriff Pusser may not have been a "by the book cop", he did keep his promise to clean up crime in his county....and he did so while selflessly risking his life. Most intelligent people capable of thinking outside of the box will agree that he did more good than harm in his community.
@@hollihawk1 Family members of law enforcement officers are not strangers to retaliation from criminals. However, I do believe Sheriff Pusser should have been more careful about shielding his family from such violence, given who he was up against.
my grandpa had a farm in McNary my uncle went to school with his daughter , I met him as a kid shooting fireworks off in parking lot of shamrock hotel , he was really nice my dad use to run shine he heard of him from Alabama, my uncle Obie langley told me she was taken out of school then I really remember all the movies and shiloh had a memorial of his with his stick and shirt , he was big back then I remember shooting fireworks and he stopped and told us to not shoot off by houses and he watched me shoot some and left really nice rip he was an American hero
I met Buford Pusser when I was a little boy. I remember he took his shirt off and showed me his scars all over his chest and back. I'll never forget

And sometimes people love to attack someone after their death, when they cant defend themself.. btw still havent seen the difinitive proof anywhere.. i specualte its the usual bunch of people that thrive on tearing someone down after their death.. its a sad, and sick form of jealousy people have..
@@DazewithJordantheLion thanks Jordan, I see the commenter who had negative reply to this has removed his comment. Sincerely..thanks, can't wait to see inside his garage etc.
No, it's facts not made up fiction.
@DazewithJordantheLion here-here… i second that! 👍👍
Excellent story and thank you. Very brave and committed man for sure.
Awesome vlog Jordan as usual, I was always interested in his story, saw every movie made about this great person ! N your right a true hero 🇺🇲 can't wait 2 C your second part 2 this story 👍🏼 thanks again Joe 🙂
Great video as always Jordan your story telling makes my day a bit easier ,was the sherriff from smokey and the bandit named after sherriff Buford
Amazing documentary! He was my husband's cousin ❤
The family is spreading false information. TBI hasn't released anything
@Rockjunkie I didn't know him personally. My family is from Lawrence, Tennessee area and Alabama. Thank you for updates
I was a child in the 70s. My mother loved this man and the original movie. She died in 2014. Talked about Mr Pusser often
Great video, Jordan!
Such a good man! I remember watching Walking Tall when was a kid. Great movie!!
Good video I remember this and seen the first movie 👍
Hi Jordan, can’t wait for your vlog on his home/museum. I just watched Walking Tall again a few months back. I know it wasn’t accurate but it definitely was eye opening to how corrupt & crazy it was. Just horrific about his wife. Didn’t his daughter have something to do with the museum? Safe travels
Lots of reading naterials and videos.
fantastic -- loved this ---thanks!!!!
Dude I am fond of your show,entertaining
Thanks for that story i never knew who he was awesome video
Thanks Jordan
I lived in Adamsville and my landlord said she went to school with Pusser and she said he fought a lot in his youth and was a big ole boy who was used to getting his way. Terrible how he was ambushed and lost his wife. I read the book The 12th of August years ago...
Morris himself told before he died the book was mostly lies
@Rockjunkie annnnnd….there you are! didn’t figure it would be long before you would show back up in the comments, trying to ‘rain on someone else’s parade’… can’t imagine what being one of neighbors would be like… i bet you know ALL the ‘juicy stuff’ on them too! hell, you probably know all the dirt on EVERYBODY in the WHOLE TOWN you live in, no? your ‘THAT PERSON’ aren’t you? the one that feeds on gossipin’ 🤣🤣🤣
@@mikethomas4690 you must be 🥜
Wayne, you might wanna read more recently written books on the subject.
Some folks just enjoy fantasy and could care less about the truth.
My Dad met Buford once back in the 1960s. I don't know exactly what year it was. All I know is that he met him at a Boat Racing event in East Tennessee.
I been there Many times through the years , I got pictures from All the places and went to the Museum , I wanted to meet Mr Pusser when he visited Baton Rouge , Louisiana Promoting his Movie but I was only 10 years old , anyway Great Video !!
Not hard to imagine a grown man whose nickname was Towhead: running a crew cowardly enough to shoot an innocent woman in their ambushes.
BJ- there is no evidence to support any of that. Buford is the primary suspect in his wife's murder.
Awesome story 👍
A man's man. Talk about a man with integrity. His picture should be in the dictionary under integrity, brave and honorable. Can't believe he had to die in of all things a car accident. I visit McLemoresville, TN every year it's only an hour and a half south I may have to see it for myself. I remember going to the theater with my HS friend to see Walking Tall I graduated in 74.
I loved the 1st movie, but when they remade it with the rock, it sucked.
It was mostly the rock that sucked.
I've never seen the movie, only heard about the legend. Thank you for such an interesting story, even though it's terribly sad.
THE ORIGINAL "WALKING TALL" ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME
Great movie. Unfortunately, it was mostly fictional.
Awsome story.
Great video Jordan. Really interesting to learn about those historical road markers.
For the few of you that keep insisting Pusser was "corrupt"...
The 1960s were a very different time. Justice was often meted out in different ways in rural America in the early 20th century. So, while Sheriff Pusser may not have been a "by the book cop", he did keep his promise to clean up crime in his county....and he did so while selflessly risking his life. Most intelligent people capable of thinking outside of the box will agree that he did more good than harm in his community.
Well, Pauline Pusser's family might disagree with you.
Tennessee sheriff's do not have a good track record when it comes to not being " corrupt".
@@hollihawk1 Family members of law enforcement officers are not strangers to retaliation from criminals. However, I do believe Sheriff Pusser should have been more careful about shielding his family from such violence, given who he was up against.
Hi from England lol your channel thanks for sharing.
great content and your intro music is catchy
my grandpa had a farm in McNary my uncle went to school with his daughter , I met him as a kid shooting fireworks off in parking lot of shamrock hotel , he was really nice my dad use to run shine he heard of him from Alabama, my uncle Obie langley told me she was taken out of school then I really remember all the movies and shiloh had a memorial of his with his stick and shirt , he was big back then I remember shooting fireworks and he stopped and told us to not shoot off by houses and he watched me shoot some and left really nice rip he was an American hero
