I never even heard of it.
It’s not something likely to be taught in public school history classes, and my public school days were a LONG time ago.
If you went to public schools in the 40s, it was more in line with Current Events. If you went to public schools in the 50s, the history books dealt more with World history or U.S. history from events that happened 50 years prior and just touched on newer historical events such as the Great Depression. Even if not taught in schools, adults passed down the stories if you live in E. TN (no where comparable to Middle TN or West TN). Public schools in Tennessee used to teach a class of Tennessee history in the high schools.
It is a famous event.
Definitely did not learn about it in school.
