The Real Duke Of Hazzard: The Jerry Rushing Story
“Jerry  Rushing is an amazing man who has led an amazing life. Without him,  John Schneider as “Bo Duke” never would have existed. Thanks for loaning  me your life, Jerry!” -John Schneider“Michael  Barnes’s The Real Duke of Hazzard is a wonderful contribution to the  lore of Hazzard County. But it is more than a story of good ol’ boys,  fast cars, and moonshining. It is the true story of Jerry Rushing, on  whom our show was based. But it is also a story of the struggle of a man  who won his life’s biggest battle, overcoming the demons within him and  finding God right back at home, in the beautiful hills of North  Carolina.” -Ben “Cooter” Jones
