My wife always tells me I should have been a history teacher. People don't know our history well enough to understand what our ancestors went through to entrust us to keep this country. Americans just want to be left alone to do what we love. That's what the Founder's wanted. Not the bloated overreaching goobermint in Washington DC. I spent many hours underground in Pulaski, Wayne, and Carter counties, caving. Always wanted a little piece of Kentucky to call my own. Love it there. Thanks for the history lessons Donnie.
My GGGGrandfather was a Confederate and joined the NC 62nd Infantry which was assigned to defend Cumberland Gap. In the July 1863 skirmish, his left arm was shot off. Unable to to load his gun, he returned to Watauga County NC and became a 'carrying man' (postman with rural route). Thanks for the history and wonderful old photos. Researching the old photos must have taken a lot of your time but outcome was well worth it. Great video. Blessings...
Salute to your great grandpaw! ....I had a number of 1st cousins, 3 and 4 times removed, who served in the 62nd North Carolina Infantry and was at Cumberland Gap. One cousin was Captain of Co. G, of the 62nd.
@@jojokrako7818 There's a good chance they knew each other. Old Ashe County was sparsely populated for most of 2 centuries and almost every one were either kin or knew each other. A lot of my folks ran for the hills after that little debacle at Alamance between the British and the Regulators .
@@TennValleyGal They may have known each other, and it's possible that we could have some common folks, generations back. Most of my folks were in Virginia through the 17th century. I had several ancestors in the Revolutionary War that had gotten land grants in both Carolinas, with most settling in the Old Buncombe County area in the 1790's. The bulk of my lineages are from Buncombe, Haywood, Jackson, and Transylvania Counties, NC..... and some from upstate SC(Pickens, Greenville, Anderson, Oconee Counties). They migrated into northeast Georgia from the 1820's through the 1840's.
If I was a teacher I would want you to come to my class and go over our history with your pictures and knowledge. Reading a book is one thing. Seeing it and hearing it from a person is so much more interesting. Thanks for these videos. So much knowledge that is slowly being lost.
I love history, especially American. I can only imagine what the settlers of this land and others would think of our modern world. I enjoyed this lesson on the Gap very much.
I grew up and live about 1 mile from Daniel Boone's birthplace and homestead in PA. His story is remarkable when you think of the reality of cutting a trail through wilderness. A cut on your skin could cause sepsis. Animal predation. Poisonous plants and insects. Keeping dry, Creating shelters from the elements, cooking food, etc. He couldn't send scouts ahead to set up camp in advance of his arrival.
Thank you Donnie for another enjoyable history lesson. It's a pity that you wasn't my history teacher back when I was growing up,you take all your viewers on a journey in the past like no other story teller can do . Have a blessed weekend my friend ,already looking forward to your wild life video on Monday. Many thanks to you. God bless you.
Been through there a month ago to show my grandson on our way to the Outer Banks from Iowa. We went through the tunnel twice. We pulled over at a lookout & a local man was showing it to some friends. We got to talking & guess who's name came up? "DONNY LAWS!" "YES!" We both love listening to your videos 😊.
Thank you Mr. Donnie, I love knowing my history and heritage. Please keep sharing because I don’t believe they teach this in school anymore. God Bless🙏
I love the history videos the best! You narrate them so well. The music is amazing too. Thank you for reminding us how very fortunate we are to live in a country where our ancestors forged the way and sacrificed so much. This country was built on sacrifice, hard work and dedication. God bless you Mr. Donnie.
I truly enjoyed this Donnie. Thank you for keeping Our History alive. Seems like this Country is striving for our children to forget this. We need to know where we came from to focus on where we are going.
Best piece of history I've seen in a very long time,it's brings home just how tough it must have been at the time..for such a short documentary, it hit hard..wow..thankyou very much....from Ireland 🇮🇪 👍 👏
Makes me wonder if one of my great grandfathers didn't take this road. He and his family walked from Philadelphia to Southern VA. His youngest son (my line) was taken by the Shawnee in a raid on their Grist mill
Wow! I absolutely love this history lesson Mr Laws! My oh my, I give all those pioneers and settlers a lot of credit! They saw their dreams ahead & they went after them! Blessings always! ❤️✝️
I miss the old road I live on from a gravel road to a paved one now was only a trail according to my grandparents I wish that's all it was now but it's not to be. That was a really good wake up video thank you
Thanks for sharing these stories and the history with us Donnie. This is my favorite way to relax after a days work , I make myself some supper and listen to your newest video while I have a bite to eat. This really means a lot to me , thanks again sir. 👋👋
Back in school, history bored me. Donnie, you should have been a teacher. All your postings on history have yet to loose my attention!! Believe me, that's a high compliment! God bless!
Hi Donnie, thank you for another wonderful video. History certainly is fascinating ❤ sad that so many souls are buried under that road. Love from Scotland in the UK xx
Thank you, Donnie. I can see my Grandaddies parents working their way through these areas in my mind when I'm listening to your very tender narration. You connect me to a home that I barely know but am drawn to more and more, every single day. I can't thank you enough. ❤
This was a fantastic video I like learning about Daniel Boone and all his travels and all the other great adventurers it was amazing to see one tiny little past running into a huge Thruway I learned a lot through this video I love learning about the history of how our country became what it is today have a good day and keep up with these wonderful videos till next time stay safe
Thank you for sharing with us. It is always very interesting. I truely enjoy learning more about our real history. God bless you and your family sir..🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Excellent! Johnny and Junes song was in my head during your narration! Made my morning, thank you! I’m going there someday to see that and clinch mountain and the Carter Fold. I’m a descendant of Strode who built Strode Station.
Mr. Laws thank you for sharing the rich history of this beautiful land. Our nation has forgotten how the early settlers had to work and strive for every inch for our country's existence. This is where it all started for my family many, many moons ago. My hat is off to you Sir.
Thank you so much Donnie for all your countless hours of research that you put in to tell our history of our Appalachia country! Have a blessed day and safe labor day weekend!
I went through Cumberland Gap last month and my thoughts were on the early days of settlers and what they must have endured. Thank you for the history lessons.
I LOVE the history ones. Thank you for this one. In case interested, Corbin, KY, is having their annual Powwow this weekend. Have a great day and weekend. God bless.
An outstanding history with archival photos Donnie....such deep history ...one can only just try to imagine and think through the hardships and sacrifices made....my my..... Have a Great weekend and Thank you for the video Brother.
Thanks for another great taste of history, brother Donnie! I always enjoy all of your presentations. Col. Daniel Boone, by the way, is my 8th cousin, 7 times removed. Shabbat Shalom, brother, and shavua tov (have a great week)! G-d bless you and yours!

Thank you Donnie. Love the history of this area where my ancients are from and that I learned to love as a young boy. Enjoy every thing you put on. Thank you and God Bless
As a kid you couldn't tie me to a chair and force me to watch something like this. Now at 38 I could sit in my chair for hours and watch these kinds of videos. Times were definitely a lot tougher back then. But boy was life simple. Great videos Donnie keep em up.
Like I have said before, I’ve learned more History on your channel Donnie than I ever did in school. This was a fantastic video. I admire what the pioneers and our ancestors accomplished! Hardworking people with the characteristics of explorers, adventurers,so brave. I Love history . Donnie thank you!.✌️❤️💫
This was incredible Donnie. The amount of effort put into this video is very impressive. Thanks for the content every week and sharing Appalachian history with us all.
Im a country boy living homeless in the city and life has been awful this last week, especially. BUT, your videos do make me a little homesick and, at the same time, relax me and make me smile. Great story telling by a very excellent story teller. Thank you 🙂
Hi Donnie, I have got to learn more about the Cumberland gap and the wilderness trail. Thank you for sharing this video. It is amazing to think of the sacrifices that our ancestors made settling this country.
Thanks Donnie. I discovered your videos doing a bit of research before my stay at the Olde Mill Inn, then I hiked the Gap, and then the 3-State Mt. the next day. I had read about Daniel Boone in my childhood, and done some exploring as I drove down US11 the day before. It is a magical, historic place . . . that your videos help folks appreciate. Key point that might help folks appreciate is the best, settleable, farmable land near the Atlantic Coast and navigable lands along the rivers (in PA, DE, VA, etc, etc.) . . . had already been claimed by the families that came to America in the late 1600's and early 1700's. Newcomers and not-1st-born sons who wanted their own land -- good farming land in valley's -- had to go West. Kaintuck was the first of many, many western migrations that built this country (and forced natives off).
Thanks again Donnie, this video, for me just extends some of the Ohio history that I have been brought up with. I am from Darke Co. OH. where Fort Greenville now known as just Greenville is located. Tecumseh and Blue Jacket just 2 of the more known named Indians had visited and signed a treaty there. But so many of the smaller forts in that area like Loramie, Recovery, Jefferson, Shawnee and Wayne (just a few of them). I love our history even though only about 300 yrs. are the extent of it. I have since moved into N. KY. for the last 11 years and find it amazing how the history from 90 miles north of here influences this local history as well. I really enjoy all of your content and look forward every time you put something new out. Keep them coming my friend...

Hi Donnie, I have got to learn more about the Cumberland gap and the wilderness trail. Thank you for sharing this video. It is amazing to think of the sacrifices that our ancestors made settling this country.
Hello my friend. Thanks for sharing this. So much history.

WOW that's awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Your very welcome.
That was amazing, Donnie. So interesting to know this history. You should be a history teacher in the schools. Everyone should know this. 💞
