DragonKing Dark: The Booger Tree
Joe Clack is buried somewhere down by the creek. The mill owner was given $5 to bury his body. His horse is dead in the middle of the creek. Riding back west with a suit of baby clothes retrieved from Clack are a family of southern Union sympathizers.
On today’s new edition of DragonKing Dark, host Karl Stern tells us a tale of deep south history you might not be familiar with. Not every southerner was on-board with the Confederacy and sometimes those values ended up in murder. Today, the tale of the Booger Tree and the killing of Joe Clack.
