Marcellus "Buck" Buchanan |
|
Marcellus Buchanan was born and reared in Sylva, North Carolina. Buck left his native mountains to obtain his legal education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then went to Raleigh to spend three terms in the 1950s representing his home county of Jackson — along with Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Macon, and Swain counties — in the North Carolina House of Representatives.
Buck also served as Democratic Committee Chairman of Jackson County. His travels and experiences throughout North Carolina gave him ample opportunity to add to his stock of humorous anecdotes.
Disorder in the Court! was Buchanan’s first book, but he long had a local reputation as a memorable storyteller.
Buck Buchanan passed away July 7, 2000.
