re: Wife of "Walking Tall" Buford Pusser exhumed for autopsy 56 years later

Nobody despises the currently popular rewriting or erasing of history as much as I do, particularly that favorable to the South. But I don't think at all this is following that line. As said above, the victim's family is seeking closure to her 56-year-old unsolved murder.

I'm a Southerner and child of the 70s that grew up idolizing Pusser. I saw the memorabilia in a country restaurant while on a boyhood trip to Shiloh battlefield. Then the movies. As fascination often does, it led me to deeper research, where I learned some things that painted Pusser just as much a criminal as his opponents. I didn't seek to have the image of one of my childhood heroes ruined, but the info is out there.
