200 Acres Sold for $1… And Nobody Knew Why Until the Boy Spoke
When Patricia Slade arranged to sell her elderly father's two-hundred-acre Tennessee farm for one dollar per acre, the paperwork was clean, the signatures were there, and the transaction was days from being recorded at the county courthouse. Earl Alderman, battling early-stage dementia, had signed documents he didn't fully understand. The land company was already planning to clear the timber. Nobody expected a problem. Nobody knew about the boy. This is an Iron Ground original story — a farm documentary about what a child can do when he pays close enough attention, holds steady long enough, and understands that some things are worth protecting even when nobody asks you to protect them.
