There ain't another storyteller to ever tell a story like you Sir especially with your deep southern drawl and the way you tell it. I applaud you and I truly appreciate and enjoy your stories.
Man I really appreciate that!
you must be kin - dude is a good story teller but he ain't Will Patton
@@davidrice3337 we're all entitled to our opinion so let's agree to disagree.
Me. Too buddy 7:44
You know the saying "always leave your audience wanting more"? You sir have perfected that to a symphony's precision. You're the best! In case you didn't know. Have a great Valentine's day, and no I won't be sending you flowers. I did however order some chloroform scented candles for my wife.😂😂😂😂. I'm joking of course.. but I think it's funny.
😂 thanks Rusty!
so did I ! lol
Southern weirdos at it again. Keep that shit in the mountains.
Boy those bad boys of that era really never gave up, did they? Another great story. Thanks JD
Right or wrong- they didn’t back down
Hell no they didn’t my grandpas brother Melvin was the same way in and out of prisons his whole life for attempted murders fights robberies all kinds of crazy shit he died of cancer long before I was ever born but my grandpa has endless stories I feel like I knew him his whole life lol
He's buried just up the road a bit from me. Fascinating story I really enjoy stories I can actually visit. Well done JD. My favorite video you've done !
Thanks Jim!
Reading is great but I'd rather listen to you telling the stories, you have the perfect voice for it 😊
Thank you April. I hope you have a wonderful night.
As a young boy I lived in Raccoon Valley when Clarence Raby was on the run before his final capture. The whole community knew he was in the area and we knew he was dangerous. At the time it was just a gravel road and most houses were a quarter mile apart. We had an old barn way back in the woods behind our house where my brother and I found he had apparently camped the night before. We ran the 400 yards back to the house as fast as we could. My parents actually debated about doing it, but finally called the sheriff and before long, literally a dozen police cars showed up, shotguns, bullhorn, blood hounds and all. Raby was long gone of course (and had been for hours), but the bloodhounds found a trail and followed it for quite some time down the ridge toward his mother's house. It was hours later and well after nightfall before they finally gave up looking and left. A few days later he turned himself in at his mother's house a couple of miles down the road. The sheriff had suspicions that locals were giving him aid - it was common knowledge some probably were - and were not exactly friendly when questioning my parents at the time - they even searched our house and car. At seven years old it was an odd mixture of terror and morbid excitement. Needless to say we didn't go back to the barn until he was captured, and at the time it felt almost like a brush with death.
Wow! Thanks for this first hand account!
Appalachia sure did produce a lot of colorful fellas. You do have the gift for storytelling.
These ole boys were something else!

Ole Clarence was not your typical momma's boy, but a momma's boy he was in some ways. Great story! Thanks JD!
Thank you!
My Grandpa was a moonshiner in East Tennessee where he was born in 1900 he died in 1980 and I was born in 1978 so I never got to talk with him listening to these stories brings joy to me brings me back to my roots thank you for sharing your talent with us all

Thanks so much. Hope you have a blessed day.
I remember well when Raby was on the run. My dad worked late, operating a store and filling station. He kept his pistol handy while my momma and me, living in a rural area with no neighbors close and no phone, waited anxiously until my dad came home.
wow!
Was so hapoy to see this notification while having insomnia🎉 Another great striry my dude!
Sleep tight!
I enjoyed the story very much. And the old photos, the old cars, the old town’s business districts photos are so good to see. Little town memories
Thank you!
Great story I love all the stories you have told great job keep it up
Thank you!
Another great story. Really dig the colorful way you do these. Old mountain stories told right are mucho cool.
Preciate you!
Another great story.
Glad you enjoyed it
I remember this story from my youth and living near where this story took place. I knew the farmer (Fred Rutherford) whom raby took hostage and also knew some of Raby's family. Enjoyed hearing the story once again.
Thanks for sharing that inside information
That was honestly an amazing story
thanks so much!
Love this story
Thank you Doris, have a blessed day!
Wonderful stories and told so well. Purchased book and cannot wait to read.
Thank you Valerie!
Love these storys
Thank you Wendy I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend
My mother in law called me, she received your book JD! She truly was surprised! I asked her to get back to me after she read it, I cant wait to hear what she thinks.
awesome! I hope she enjoys it!
Great way to end a Saturday night, a well spoken story from JD 🥰
I truly enjoy reading your book JD in between your stories here. For some unknown reason, as I read it, it’s as though I hear you telling the story. 😊😉
Thank you so much!
I love this!
Thank you 🙏
"Idle hands and minds are the devil's playthings (workshop)." I heard my grandfather say that many times. He believed that everyone should work (for their daily bread) as soon as they started walking. Our mother and grandpa didn't always agree. However, grandpa's teachings did help us stay out of trouble (most of the time). I have never heard of Clarence Raby until this video. I should have (because I am 75 years old). However, the adults in my family may not have been worried about him, because he was not in our part of Appalachia. Are your books sold at our local book store (Coffeetree Books)? I do not shop or buy off the internet (and I may not be the only one).
Another great one thanks jd
Thanks so much Steven, have a great day brother
@TheAppalachianStoryteller you too jd thanks
Another wasted young life and a soul thrown away. So very sad.
Thank you for this video JD!
💜
I'm always excited to see another video up from you. I get all my work done and listen to you in the evening, a great way to wind down after a hectic day. I always think about the stories and wonder about this or that. I'm wondering if his mom got into trouble for bringing him a gun. She had to know the odds were stacked against him. A good story always makes you think. Keep the stories coming! Stay safe and GOD bless
Thank you!
I have family in LaFollete and a couple that live on Norris Lake. My uncle was Campbell County Sheriff in the 1990's. This is a great story!
Thank you!
Hell of a story!
Thanks for watching!
The bad boy didn't give up easy. Thank you for this wonderful story I always listen to your stories sometimes I am late catching one
Thanks Bessie, imagine if he had put his will and determination directed to something good? wow
Grade A crime story TY
Thanks so much!
What a mama won’t do for her son? Clarence was a piece of work! As The Bible says “You reap what you sow”. At least Clarence didn’t meet Ol’ Sparky “. Sure glad those crooked cops were caught, but in my humble opinion, they should have been sent to prison for lying and murder. Great story JD👍. Thank you.
Yes they should have !!
Top of the mornin' to ya, JD! At this stage of mah life they ain't many things that I'll get out of a warm bed 'fore daylite on a Saturday but sitting with ya listening to your way back stories is at the top of that short list friend and I appreciate you taking the time to entertain me and many others! Take care and I'll see ya next time. p.s I sent you an email if you get the time will you look at it for me?
Did you send it to theappalachianstoryteller@gmail.com?
I just checked my email and didn't see one.. make sure it goes to theappalachianstoryteller@gmail.com
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I struggle with the whole deal, JD, Ineed to know a way to get one of your books with cash. I haven't had a bank acct since 2004
Wow! Great story!
❤️
Stay spicy, you are an amazing story teller. 🙃🇨🇦👍
Thank you!
Hello JD! Well, Raby was a true rotten to the core criminal and apparently his mother wasn’t much better to enable him his last attempt at escaping that cost him his life.
By the way, I know a man with the last name Raby. He is a professional wrestler who is a heel and I will have to ask him about his family history, just out of curiosity. He is one of the nicest people I know.
Hope you and your family have a blessed weekend!
I can imagine these raby folks as wrestlers!
That was a Great story.
Thank you!
Always good
Thanks so much!
Good story.
Thank you Carol!
That was amazing brother
Thanks so much brother. Hope you have a great weekend.
Great job really like your channel
Thanks so much appreciate you watching many more great stories to come
This story has three things in common with my family!
1. Raby’s, my family tree is chock full of Raby’s (Solway, Anderson Co., Union Co.)
2. Union County, a relative was Sheriff (Henry Liberty (Boss) Bailey.)
3. Brushy Mountain, Two men, (Father and son) spent time in Brushy Mountain (Though not at the same time I don’t think.) Bob Youngblood and his son Robert.
Great story J.D., Thanks!
Might be a relative
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I know! I have some digging to do!
excellent!
Thank you so much
JD's production budget must have increased, he had enough for a car chase with moving pictures!
We visited Brushy Mt. about a year ago, it was very interesting.
You are correct that there are many costs with producing these videos, the movie footage cost me about 3000 dollars a year. Thank you to all who help me pay the costs and inspire me to keep going.
: When I lived in Oak Ridge in the 1980s I heard about Clarence and other local historical famous/notorious folks of East TN's past. In Clinton there was an older fellow that used to sit outside the Rocky Top near the Checkers Pizza and National Video, and he said he remembered Clarence being in the news when he was just out of high school. He said, "His brother cleaned up, they say, but Clarence was no 'count trash."
thanks for sharing that inside info
Oh my JD! What a story. Sorry I haven't been around. I was sick for awhile then my phone died but I'm catching up JD! Lol
So good to see you again joy I hope you’re doing OK. And yes, he lived quite a life.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller thanks JD! Yes feeling much better finally. Appreciate you asking.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Bob it’s things like this that really keep this channel going. Thank you so much for your support and I hope you have a great weekend brother.
JD, you need to look into the background of Clarence Bunch of Hancock Co., TN. He was a
pretty notorious highway man back in the 1930's. He was somewhat of a Robin Hood.
He was famous for avoiding the law in his 1936 Ford V-8. It was equipped with tractor
brakes (right and left) brakes. This allowed him to make a hard right or left turn on a dime
and to drive back toward the law. Clarence robbed a gas station in Morristown 3 times,
and the owner asked him why he robbed him so many times? Clarence told him he had
the busiest station in the city. He told him he would switch off to the other stations, and
he never robbed the station owner again. Clarence was never known to have shot anyone
but he did use a gun during his robberies. Clarence met his end during an attempted
bank robbery in Knoxville where he was shot 60 times by Knoxville police.
Interesting story.😊
Glad you enjoyed it Edward, have a great day brother
You should do one about the Balley boys, bank robers from jacks creek in yancey County NORTH Carolina.
thank you for this idea, I just dropped it in my future story ideas folder.
JD good morning
👋
I have faint memories of hearing his name when I was young... I probably heard my parents talking about him and my mom being worried because he wasn't far from us...
Crazy story had me engrossed!
What year did he die?
Thanks JD 😎👍
1960
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller
My bad... I think I was typing out loud trying to remember being 7 years old...the minute I saw his name on the video I felt "triggered", for lack of a better word... It's funny how memory works. Thanks JD 👍
Once a man kills, you're right, they've gone past a line. God forgives, but society is owed. His mother not teaching him the difference between right and wrong was terrible. That's not love. Bringing him a firearm should have bought her a prison sentence. Had his mother truly loved him, she'd have not stood any shenanigans from her boys.
I just love your stories.
Thank you!
Pretty slick fella
Yes sir
Was that town the same place as the notorious Civil War Andersonville Prison?
You know- I’m not sure? Maybe someone will chime in
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - Offhand I can't think of which southeastern state it was. Maybe Georgia. Now I'll have to look it up. Bugs me when I forget that sort of thing.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - Google just called. Yeah, it was GA.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - Anyway, I sure enjoyed the story. Too bad the mother was such an enabler. Did their father have any influence at all? I hope she was prosecuted as an accessory to murder since she gave him that last gun.
The Whole Situation Pissed Me Off and Broke my Heart All At The Same Time...
I feel so sorry for the mother losing her son in the manner that she did. I LOST MY YOUNGEST BEAUTIFUL ANGEL DAUGHTER Recently Right Before Her 27th Birthday And When They Lowered My ANGEL Into The Ground, My HEART And SOUL Were Buried With Her. She wasn't a lawbreaker or anything like that. But no matter what someone's Child does such As That Murder Spree, The MOTHER CANNOT STOP LOVING THEIR OWN CHILD Even Though That Child Is Grown and Continues To Break The Law. My heart is Broken For The Boys MOTHER And Brother That Turned His Life Around And Became A Model Citizen. What The Killer Son did was OF The devil. But the Devastation and Loss of the Woman's Son's Actions Still Could NEVER Take The Love That A MOTHER Holds for their Child In Her HEART And SOUL. A TRULY Heartbreaking Story. But A good story None The Less. Thank You So Much For Sharing!!! May GOD BLESS You And Your Family!!!!
🙏👼😇
I’m so sorry to hear of your daughter, peace be with you my friend 💜
His momma sure was devoted! 😳
Sure was!
Im a Scot-Irish Appalachian Hillbilly....ancestors since 1740s....Virginia & Kentucky....We fear no 'federal authority'...
yes indeed, good mountain folks
Right there is a good title for another story The Blood Hounds of Brushy Mountain
I love it!
❤
Thank you Donna have a great
Great story telling- wondering what happened to the mother for smuggling a weapon?
Great question Debbie she was actually arrested and had to go to trial for smuggling the weapon while she was in court on the stand she got up off the witness stand and slapped one cop in the face because of his disrespect to her in the end she got all scott free
Wow- unbelievable.! Thank you so much for kindly answering- so nice of you!
of course!@@debbieritter1096
Danggggg
👍🏼
Now I remember Rudy. The name had that familiar ring to it. Just couldn't place him.
hope you enjoyed it cade!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller yes forgot to say thank you 😊
Angry Grandma, who also is a RUclipsr, was from Petros, TN,… her father either worked at Brushy or was town Sheriff. Maybe both?
I don’t know that!
Mama went too far … was she reprimanded in any way for supplying gun to son? Great story 🇨🇦 ❤
She was she she had to go to trial for smuggling that weapon in, but she got off scott free, and she even slapped one of the cops in the face right in the courtroom
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller of course 🙄
I grew up in raccoon Valley but moved to downtown knoxville 12 years ago. I can throw a rock from my front porch and hit the courthouse lawn where he was killed. Knox county sheriffs office was corrupt then and they're corrupt now. Ain't a damn thing changed where that's concerned.
thanks for chiming in Ninja!
Hey JD. Does your book have the same stories as the one's on this channel?
Some stories are
Never commit a major crime, unless the local population supports you..
Exactly 😂
Mom adided and abided also Prison for her also
I live 1 mile from Brushy.
In Petros? or up the mountain?
