Sit back and enjoy a wonderful, unique narrative of Tennessee's "Fainting Goat". This audio book chronicles the travels of Jon Tinsley, the man history credits with bringing the Myotonics back to Marshall County, TN.



The author, Wanda Wood and her musician/narrator husband Charlie Thunderfoot reside in Castalian Springs, Tennessee with their dogs, cats, horses and of course, fainting goats.
Discover the fascinating origins of Tennessee's nervous native in "The Fainting Goat's Tale".


The following is from the Spring 2005 edition of the "Myotonic Messenger":

Recently in the mail, I received a copy of a spoken word CD called the Fainting Goats Tale by Wanda Wood. I didn't know what to expect after seeing an ad for it in the Myotonic Messenger. The CD is just over 46 minutes long and is well produced with clean and clear audio.

Wanda begins by explaining her experience with fainting goats and a general overview of the breed. The bulk of the tale is about her meeting with Hyrum Obadiah Tate of Russelville, Kentucky. His family was deeply involved with the early history of fainters and he takes over the story about 13 minutes into the recording. Hyrum's Kentucky drawl and colorful local colloquialisms make this CD a pleasure to listen to.

There are lots of tidbits of information about the origin about the breed that most of us haven't heard. He tells of the travelling man from Ireland who came to Marshall County, Tennessee with a sacred cow, some hound dogs and those fainting goats.
