The Legend of Buford Pusser
Send us Fan Mail He was the sheriff with a big stick and an even bigger legend. Buford Pusser fought crime on the Tennessee-Mississippi border with his fists, a badge, and a whole lot of vengeance. His story inspired Walking Tall, a string of sequels, ballads, and generations of folk-hero worship. But behind the headlines, beneath the scars, there’s a different story. In this episode of the Curator135 Podcast, we dive deep into the life, myth, and legacy of Buford Pusser—from his early days as a wrestler, to bloody shootouts with the State Line Mob, to the tragic death of his wife, Pauline. And for the first time, we’ll explore the shocking new investigation that may rewrite everything we thought we knew about who Buford really was. Because sometimes, legends aren’t broken—they were built that way. Support the show
