Legendary Okefenokee Swamp Man .. Johnny Hickox - The Original Georgia Traveler WSB-TV {Americana}

Johnny Hickox spent his entire life as the legendary Okefenokee Swamp man near Waycross, GA. For more than 30 years he was the chief guide and superintendent of maintenance at the Okefenokee Swamp Park. Johnny was a legend. His father was a one-armed gator hunter and he knew every twist, turn and cypress tree of the vast swamp. Oh, did I mention that one of his best friends was Oscar, a 12-foot, 700 pound bull alligator? Johnny, his songs and stories are part of the vanishing south. This was America in the 1970s. The Traveler series with Andy Johnston was an Emmy award winning program that showcased amazing people, unusual things, local legends, food finds, outdoor activities, folk art, and family fun. In 2022 the Walter J. Brown Media Archives at the University of Georgia founded The Original Georgia Traveler -- Andy Johnston Collection to preserve and maintain the stories. This story aired on Channel 2 Action News in 1977. #okefenokees #swamp #originalgeorgiatraveler #favoriteyoutubers #1970s #southernliving #alligator
