  • The Lumber King of Appalachia
    2025/05/31
    William McClellan Ritter didn’t just cut down trees, he built an empire. In this week’s episode, we tell his story, from Pennsylvania farm boy to head of one of the world’s largest lumber companies. He built railroads, ran coal mines, advised the U.S. war effort in World War I and once gifted $3 million to his workers.

    But that story also includes the cutting down of much of Appalachia’s old growth forests and forced labor charges that stained his legacy.

  • The Story of Gus McCoig, Appalachia's Little Dillinger
    2025/05/17
    On this episode of the Stories podcast, we tell the dramatic tale of Gus McCoig, a Jefferson County boy who became one of East Tennessee’s most notorious Depression-era outlaws. McCoig’s story starts with his chance encounter with outlaw Clarence Bunch in a jail cell, followed by their escape and his later capture and conviction for crimes he committed while in the Bunch gang. After he escaped the Tennessee State Prison, he went on a crime spree across East Tennessee that ended with his capture and execution at just 25 years old.

    It’s another one of the Stories of Appalachia.
