Where the Red Fern Grows

Native American legend has it that a long time ago, a little boy and a little girl were wandering through the Cherokee Hills when they were caught in a blizzard. It wasn't until Spring that their two little bodies were found lying next to each other, clasping each other's hands. Between the two little ones, a stunningly, beautiful, red fern had sprouted, leaning it's vast shade over each child. This week on Oklahoma Horizon, learn how this legend influenced Oklahoma author Wilson Rawls to write the favorite children's book, "Where the Red Fern Grows."
