IN SEARCH OF THE LOST DUTCHMAN'S GOLD : INTERVIEW WITH BRIAN MCDOUNOUGH

Jon Hagadorn interviews author Michael Paradis regarding his new besteller. Lots of stories & facts about the man who led us to victory in WWII

In August of 1946 the Democrat party was holding most of the state of Tennessee in an iron grip and had been for 10 years. Voters were being shot, beaten, and intimidated. Ballot box stuffing was the rule in many counties. Election integrity was non-existent. The corruption went all the way to Washington DC. The DOJ, the FBI, the Tennessee State Supreme Court- all turned a blind eye to the worst corruption ever witnessed in the south, ignoring desperate pleas for help looking into the problem and saying there was nothing wrong. Many people were on the take. Local sheriffs and deputies aligned with the machine were driving expensive cars and in some cases pistol whipping and even shooting voters who objected to their methods at the polls.. It took a group of concerned and angry returning WWII vets to clean things up- and it took a fight against armed deputies who were holding innocent people hostage, along with the ballot boxes they had stuffed, in a county courthouse. When the bullets and finally dynamite rousted them out- the Democrat machine was finally broken and justice returned. to McMinn county.
