As something of a folklore hero‚ Buford Pusser has had a trio of movies dedicated to his life‚ There are also multiple songs‚ including two that mention an altercation between Jimmy Buffett and Pusser.  His law enforcement career was legendary. He went on a nearly one-man crusade against local crime rings involved in moonshining‚ gambling‚ and other vice-centered crimes.  A photograph of Buford Pusser with healing stitches after the attack. The Jackson Sun Early Years Born in Adamsville‚ Tennessee‚ Pusser was an enforcer-type person from a young age. Standing at 6’6” and 250 pounds by the time he was an adult‚ he was physically intimidating to nearly everyone around him.  He enlisted in the United States Marines right out of high school. However‚ he was quickly discharged because he had asthma‚ which greatly disappointed him.  He instead turned to wrestling‚ starting a career as “Buford the Bull.” For the next two years‚ he traveled the semi-professional wrestling circuit around the country. Until one day‚ he met his wife Pauline Mullins.  The two wed in 1959 and moved to Chicago‚ where Pusser worked for the Union Paper Bag company for 3 years. In 1962‚ they returned to Adamsville‚ where Pusser eventually would return to his earlier dream of serving the public in an enforcement role.   Tennessee’s Youngest Sheriff Pusser stepped into the role of police chief and constable for his hometown quickly after arriving. This was the beginning of a long career dedicated to eliminating local crime.  After two years‚ Pusser gained the chance to become sheriff of McNairy when the standing sheriff was killed in a car accident. At just 27 years old‚ Pusser became the youngest sheriff in Tennessee history.  Even as a young sheriff‚ Pusser was intensely dedicated to enforcing laws and protecting his community. He had a very strong moral compass and a tireless dedication to aligning his community with what he felt was right. A Man on a Mission As Pusser stepped into the role‚ he quickly learned that his predecessor was complicit in a slew of organized crime in the region. This included a moonshining ring run by two groups called the Dixie Mafia and State Line Mob.  These groups would distill moonshine and then sell it in Tennessee and Mississippi. They made thousands of dollars selling the illegal alcohol. Pusser made it his personal mission to eradicate these groups. In the process‚ he made a number of enemies.  In 1964‚ shortly after he was elected to his new role‚ Pusser was assaulted by members of the moonshining ring. They were trying to prevent the new sheriff from shutting down their operation.  Pusser was stabbed seven times and left to die. However‚ he survived. And now his mission to eradicate the group of moonshiners was an act of personal vengeance.  With renewed vigor‚ he raided forty-two stills and arrested seventy-five moonshiners in his first year alone. In the coming years‚ he would also survive multiple gunshot wounds and other assassination attempts as he expanded his crusade to include prostitution rings and gambling circles.  Criminal Retaliation As unbelievable as Pusser’s life was within his first year as sheriff‚ things only got more absurd and heartbreaking.  In August of 1967‚ Pusser received a call about a disturbance just outside of town early in the morning. He got up and prepared himself for whatever trouble there may be. Just before he left his wife asked to join him. The two of them shuffled into their car and drove across town.  As they were driving‚ another car drove up next to them and opened fire on the couple. Pauline was killed instantly. Two rounds went through Pusser’s jaw.  It would take a number of surgeries over almost three weeks to reconstruct his jaw. But Pusser would survive the attack and have a renewed determination to eliminate the criminal rings. While still a mission driven by his sense of morality‚ the added fervor of avenging his wife drove Pusser harder than anything else ever had.  Pusser’s Revenge Pusser believed the assassination attempt was related to a case from the previous year‚ where he was shot at when investigating a robbery. He returned fire and killed Louise Hathcock. She was the common-law wife of Kirksey Nix who was head of the Dixie Mafia.  Pusser insisted that Nix and his associates were behind the assassination attempt. However‚ none were ever indicted on charges related to the shooting.  However‚ three of Nix’s associates were killed over the next three years. Nix himself was imprisoned for committing another murder. There are rumors that Pusser was responsible for the deaths of Nix’s associates‚ although there has never been any conclusive evidence.  But if that were the case‚ Nix may have avoided being killed himself by being imprisoned.  A Grim End In 1970‚ Pusser was forced to step away from his role as sheriff because term limits kept him from running for office again. He returned to his role as constable and tried to run for sheriff again in the next election in 1972. But he was unable to swing the votes.  Then in 1973‚ a movie called Walking Tall was released that was based on Pusser’s life. One day Pusser was returning home from the county fair in 1974. This was the same day he negotiated the sequel movie to Walking Tall. His car hit an embankment and flew off the road.  A local newspaper detailing the news of Pusser’s fatal crash Pusser was thrown from the car after it caught fire. He did not survive his injuries. Rumors surrounding his crash have wondered whether it was actually an accident‚ or whether this was a successful assassination attempt.  Nix had successfully organized hits from in prison. And the trooper who worked the accident later became sheriff of McNairy County‚ which were both suspicious in the context of the crash. But perhaps the most suspicious is that Pusser did not receive an autopsy.  Shortly after his death‚ community members turned Pusser’s house into a museum dedicated to the law enforcer. His biographic movie‚ Walking Tall‚ has received sequels‚ spin-offs‚ and remakes for the next almost 50 years.  He has been immortalized as a folk hero in multiple other kinds of media. Even though he only lived to 36 years old‚ Pusser left a legendary legacy in his wake.  References Birdwell‚ Michael E. “Buford Pusser.” Tennessee Encyclopedia‚ October 8‚ 2017. https://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/entries/buford-pusser/.  Franco‚ Samantha. “Buford Pusser Was a Good Cop Who Was Hell-Bent on Getting Revenge‚” The Vintage News‚ August 25‚ 2022. https://www.thevintagenews.com/2022/08/25/buford-pusser/. The post Walking Tall: The True Story of Buford Pusser first appeared on History Defined.

One of the most detailed journals of any battle commander in history was written by the Korean admiral Yi Sun-sin.  He stands as one of the largest figures in Korean and Japanese history. He was one of the greatest admirals in history who was undefeated‚ and repelled Japan’s invasion of Korea in the 16th century. Photograph of a portrait of Admiral Yi Sun-sin in Changdeokgung Palace‚ Seoul‚ Korea. Early Tenacity In 1576‚ Yi completed his military examination and demonstrated his tenacity and dedication to the role. During the cavalry section of his examination‚ Yi broke his leg. But‚ rather than giving up‚ he used a tree branch to splint his leg and complete the examination.  His determination in the face of adversity and willingness to ignore his own injury for the greater mission would be evident in every battle of his life.  An Honorable Man In 1582‚ after serving in various posts for a few years‚ Yi made it clear that he would not be complicit in hiding corrupt practices from his superior officers. This made him enemies within the military. During this period‚ many military officers would sabotage their peers for their own gain. Yi was stripped of his rank and sent to the northern border‚ where it was hoped that he would meet his end.  Instead‚ Yi was given the opportunity to prove his military prowess. When a Manchurian force attempted to attack his post‚ he out-strategized the invaders and captured their leader.  Shortly after though‚ Yi’s father died and he took a customary three years away from the military.  A Humble Soldier When he returned to military service‚ he quickly saw more action against Manchurian forces. In one battle in 1586‚ he was wounded by an arrow but hid his injury from his forces so as to not demoralize them.  But his string of successes once again aggravated his superior officers and he was subject to accusations of desertion. He was arrested and tortured. When he still did not admit to the accusations‚ he was stripped of his rank and imprisoned.  This did not last long‚ however‚ as the king took pity on Yi. He released him on the condition that he would fight as a common soldier. Yi did without complaint. The king once again stepped in and pardoned him of his accused crimes‚ allowing Yi to return to being an officer. After another few years of rotating posts due to more professional enemies‚ Yi was sent to the port at Yeosu. There‚ he became the commander of the Cholla Left Naval Station. It would be during this time that Yi began establishing what would be his lasting legacy: Korean naval superiority against Japan.  The Statue of Yi Sunsin‚ Sejongro‚ Jongrogu‚ Seoul‚ S.Korea A Cunning General In 1592‚ Japan began an attempt to invade Korea which became known as the Imjin War. Japan had recently been united by Toyotomi Hideyoshi‚ who then set his sights on conquering all of Asia.  He intended to use Korea as a launching ground for this endeavor. As a vassal state for China‚ Korea would have suffered dire consequences if they assisted Japan.  So when the king turned down Toyotomi’s offer to assist in his invasion‚ he knew that Japan would be the first to suffer a Japanese invasion. The nation had already been plagued by Japanese pirates for years. So Yi began preparing for a more large-scale assault.  An Innovative Leader After studying both Korean and Japanese military strategy‚ Yi developed a plan for outmaneuvering the Japanese on the sea. The Japanese relied heavily on land warfare. They used samurai and bowmen or gunmen as the root of their military strength.  Their ships were designed to emphasize these strengths. They were ironclad to withstand incoming attacks. They were large because they were essentially transport vessels for a land-based army. And on the sea‚ they would sail near enemy combatants and bombard them with ranged attacks until samurai could board.  As a result‚ these ships were large and slow/ Yi designed a new ship to take advantage of this weakness. These were dubbed the “turtle ships.”  These ships were designed with spiked iron plates on the top. This would discourage enemies from boarding. They also had large openings on the sides to station up to forty cannons.  They rode lower in the water than a normal ship. They included the ability to produce a smokescreen to hide the Korean forces when they had no choice but to get close to enemy combatants. Most importantly‚ the turtle ships were lighter and more agile than the Japanese ships so could easily outmaneuver them. A Living Legend As a result of these advantages‚ Yi went on to command the Korean military to easy victories against the Japanese. He even rescued another admiral named Wŏn Kyun from defeat. Wŏn was displeased with needing rescue though‚ and set out to once again discredit Yi.  Yi voiced a dissonant opinion about the Chinese negotiating with the Japanese for Korea. He believed that the Japanese could not be trusted. Wŏn exploited the statement to get Yi removed from command once again.  After humiliation at the hands of his political opponent‚ Yi was once again imprisoned and released to serve as a common soldier. But in 1597 the Japanese renewed their attacks on Korea. They destroyed Wŏn’s forces easily‚ who attempted to flee the battle. He was then executed for his desertion. This allowed Yi to return to command of the navy and secure victory over the Japanese by 1598.  By the last battle of the war‚ the Battle of Noryang‚ Yi had won 23 naval encounters and lost none. He even defeated a force of over 300 Japanese ships with the only remaining 13 Korean ships.  A Tragic End Yi’s death tragically came during the Battle of Noryang when he was hit by a stray bullet. He declared to his son and nephew that they needed to finish the battle before announcing his death.  He passed away and the battle raged on until the Koreans won the war. Japan finally retreated. Within the next five years‚ they dedicated themselves to an entirely isolationist policy.  Without Yi‚ Japan may have invaded China and changed Asian history forever.  References Campbell Smith‚ III‚ Roy. “Yi-Sun Sin Defeated Japan at Sea.” U.S. Naval Institute‚ 1944. https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/1944/june/yi-sun-sin-defeated-japan-sea.  Gilbert‚ Marc Jason. “Admiral Yi Sun–Shin‚ the Turtle Ships‚ and Modern Asian History.” Education About Asia: Online Archives‚ Spring 2007. https://www.asianstudies.org/publications/eaa/archives/admiral-yi-sun-shin-the-turtle-ships-and-modern-asian-history/.  “Yi Sun-shin: Korean admiral.” Brittanica. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Yi-Sun-shin. The post Who Was the Korean Admiral and Folk Hero‚ Yi Sun-Sin? first appeared on History Defined.
