Rattlesnake Sam
Gives Up Ghost
Sam CTiaaon, the Youth's greatest
rattlesnake hunter, died u few day?
ago in his tumble-down shack at the
foot of the Blue Ridge mountains in
McDowell county. He was H'.l years
old ami had lived in the same place
for 50 years and there was his head*
quarters for a campaign of rattlesnake
catching that has no parallel
in the history of the Carolina mountaineer.
Sam had an unique way bf stalking
a rattler. With a twine string that j
had a noose in its end he would go
upon the mountain side, his' long
white beard and tattered clothes
blowing in the wind, and hunt down
' his prey. When ho had spied a rat* >
tier he would creep up to it, and.
somehow manage to sli'l^the nooso
over its head and on its slim neck. |
lie caught hundreds of tlx,* reptiles
in that way.
Sam had no grudge against rattlesnakes,
r.or 'did he catch and kill
them for the sport of it. He used
rattlesnakes in making medicine, and
making medicine was his .me^ns of
livelihood.
It was the belief of the old mountaineer
that his rattlesnake medicine
was u sure cure for tuberculosis.
Others believed it too. People came
from mountain cabins and even from
other states, far distant, to buy the
medicine. Up until his death Sam
did a thriving business.
The way he prepared his sure
"cure" for tuberculosis and the ingredients
he used would throw a chill into
any modern pharmacist. Of course
there was the rattlesnake. After Sam
brought it to the shack he killed it
and skinned it. Then he got a gallon
jug of corn whiskey and put the
| rattler, cut into small sections, into
it. This mixture was his cure.
The prescribed dose was a wine
glass before each meal.
Before the state went dry, Sam
bought whiskey from one of the many
government distilleries in McDowell
county; he never paid more than a
dollar for it. After state prohibition,
he had his customers to bring their
booze with them. But one? he had
added the rattlesnake cure was guaranteed.
He charged his customers
according to what he thought they
could pay; frequently he got as much
as $10 a gallon for his snake brew.
Sam had the characteristics of a
hermit. He never shaved, and so far
as people know, he went to the old
swimming hole very seldom, His
clothes which he obtained from the
Crossnore school, were unique. He
wore at least four old suits at a time,
one over top of another. Each suit
was supposed to cover the holes in the
suit underneath it, but all were in
tatters.
He lived entirely by himself and
prepared his own simple food. Small
and wiry in stature, he kept in good
heaTTh until the end, and except for
the whitening of his beard, never
seemed to grow a day older.?Union
