He lived just down the road a bit near Pall Mall, TN.
Gary Cooper's memorable performance made the movie.

It was a great story and Alvin York was a true American hero.
He entered the war as a consientos objector,but when Americans were being killed,he shot 20 germans and was insrumental in the captue of 132.
Quite the story indeed.

Gotta love them long guns they shoot in the first half of the movie Those are "Hog Rifles" from the mtns of Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina....They were match rifles back in the day...Amazingly accurate, and shot by literally the best riflemen the world has ever known. Their forefathers demonstrated that accuracy to full effect at the Battle of New Orleans.
