Thomas Spencer stood 400 pounds of pure frontier strength in 1770s Tennessee. This giant pioneer lived alone in a hollow tree, carried dead men through forests, and lifted logs that stopped teams of oxen. Native Americans spoke of his legendary power, and French hunters fled at the sight of his footprints.
Watch as we reveal Spencer's incredible feats of strength, his gentle nature, and his tragic end at Spencer's Hill. Through original historical documents and eyewitness accounts, this video brings alive the story of Tennessee's strongest pioneer and his impact on American frontier history.
