The Mendota Gunslinger? The Story of Texas Jack

Today we tell a story with echoes of the Wild West…along with a twist! We unravel the mysterious life of Jack Vermillion of Mendota, Virginia, a man who many say once walked the dusty streets of Tombstone, Arizona, alongside the legendary Earp brothers.  Join hosts Steve Gilly and Rod Mullins as they journey through the tangled tales of a figure many believed to be the notorious Texas Jack Vermillion!  Was the Jack Vermillion laid to rest in Mendota the same man who earned his fame in the deserts of Arizona?  Subscribe and listen to the Stories of Appalachia podcast on your favorite podcast app to join us on this fascinating exploration of the history of this place we call home, Appalachia.  Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to share these stories of Appalachia with your friends.
