The Forgotten War of "Tinker" Dave Beaty The Civil War's Most Vicious Duel

The Civil War wasn't just fought on battlefields like Gettysburg and Antietam. In the misty mountains of Tennessee, a different, more personal war was waged—a war of shadows, where your neighbor was more dangerous than any army. This is the story of that hidden conflict. This documentary explores the life of David "Tinker" Dave Beaty, a quiet farmer who became the Union's most effective guerrilla leader. When the Confederacy threatened his home, he didn't flee. He disappeared into the wilderness and built an army of ghosts, becoming the sworn enemy of the infamous Confederate partisan, Champ Ferguson. Their brutal rivalry turned the Cumberland Plateau into a private hunting ground, leaving a legacy of fear that lasted for generations. Join us as we uncover the story of the bushwhackers, the Saltville Massacre, one of America's first war crimes trials, and the psychological price of a victory that never brought peace. This is the story of a man who won the war, but spent the next 50 years of his life looking over his shoulder, waiting for a bullet with his name on it. The mountains have more secrets to tell.
