Robert Penn Warren - "Night Rider" and The Black Patch Tobacco War

On our February podcast we visit the Robert Penn Warren Birthplace Museum to discuss his book "Night Rider". His book talks about the Black Patch War and the Association that was started in Robertson County TN. We record from Guthrie, Kentucky where the first meeting took place as the farmers of the dark fired tobacco rebelled against the big corporation ran by James Buchanan Duke. While in the birthplace of Warren, we talk with Mrs. Bobbie Doris on the younger years of Warren. We will be at the Historic Museum of Hopkinsville - Christian County to meet with Alissa Keller, the Director, in front of the Night Rider's display. She will talk about the rise of the Association and how some of the group gained the name Night Rider's. Come joining us for this journey.
