from Bear Grease · host MeatEater

On this episode of Backwoods University, we are going to learn about one of the most extraordinary, impactful, and bold conversations to ever live. And here's the twist, you probably have never heard of her. Fannye Cook was a Mississippian born into a farming family that grew an early love for the natural world. When the demise of most all of the state's forests and game animals faced seemingly eminent peril, she was there to save them.
