In this episode of the Stories of Appalachia podcast, we tell the story of David Crockett "Tinker Dave" Beaty, a Civil War guerrilla leader fighting on the side of the Union, whose fierce rivalry with his Confederate counterpart Champ Ferguson became the stuff of legend.
Join Rod Mullins and Steve Gilly as they tell the tale of Tinker Dave Beaty, a man who, though initially indifferent to the conflict, ultimately chose to stand with the Union, engaging in the guerrilla warfare that sowed the seeds for the notorious post-war feuds that would follow.
