Granny Dollar: A video by Neal Wooten

Granny Dollar: A video by Neal Wooten Neal Wooten, author of the book “Granny Dollar,” has created a video about the legendary mountain woman. A feisty Cherokee woman who stood six feet tall, her stories were larger than she was. Born in 1826, Nancy Dollar and her family hid out in a cave for three years during the forced relocation of the Cherokee Indians; she lost her father and fiancé in the War Between the States, and was on three occasions bitten by venomous snakes. Neighbors and journalists loved to sit on her porch just to hear her spin a yarn. She died in 1931 at the age of 106, but 200 years after she was born, the memory of this amazing woman lives on. Come to the library for a special showing of this 45-minute long film about her life and legends. Neal Wooten will be available afterwards for a question and answer session.
