Wow! I know the info may not be out there but I'd love a part 2 to this about how his family reacted to finding out it was his own son who turned him in. Did they welcome him home with open arms after the war? Was he too chicken to go home and face them? Did he survive the war? Regardless, bravo for those men standing up for their community in the worst of times. Thanks for another great story, JD. Loving book 1 so far!
Someone actually sent me an email a few months ago asking me to tell Russell Gregory story since it had never been shared before so I spent a few weeks researching and this is the result
Hi JD! I’ve been many times to Cades Cove and never knew the story till now. We used to pack a picnic and take the kids to Cades Cove. I’ve always loved how peaceful and beautiful it was. Thank you for the history you share with us. They don’t teach this in schools. Have a very blessed day with your family!
As someone who has hiked that part of the trail several times over the years I never knew this story. Very cool to finally hear the history behind this beautiful spot along the AT.
@ thank you , many of these stories, I have forgotten bits and pieces of , some I’m hearing for the first time. Growing up in the rural south as a kid listening to my elders tell stories about their lives and our community once was a recurring theme on Saturday nights, your program has brought back memories of a time that I miss but hope to pass on to my grandchildren. Thank you !
Hello everyone very good and sad true story. Learned alot abouut Cades Ccove. So pitiful son agaisnt father in that ole war. Thank you JD for sharing this with us ❤
My daughter and grandkids live in Knoxville, have visited "Cades cove" numerous times but have never heard the true beginning of this community! Thank you ! 👍😎
Good Morning JD and Sarah! I hope you had a marvelous Christmas and hope you have a Wonderful and Prosperous New Year! Great story. You do have to choose sides sometimes and protect what’s yours! Thank you for your excellent story telling! You are always a pleasure to listen too!
So sad that the "uncivil" war caused families to be torn apart. I can't help but wonder what the son's life was like after the war. Did he survive and come to regret his actions?
I love the Appalachian stories! I’m born and raised in Appalachia with deep roots in these sacred lands, I am proud of my heritage ❤ My daddy, who I lost in 2010 would tell us stories of Appalachia from the time I was able to sit still and listen, and also appreciate the stories. Some were true, some of them were a little “spiced up” (as my momma used to say), but my sister and I loved and remember those stories. It even got to the point we’d ask him to tell us a story, if for some reason he was tired from working all day and maybe he’d want to skip story time and go to bed, he never let us down, though. Before you’d know it, it was way past all our bed times! I have some recordings of him I’d love to share with you..I need to get them all together and maybe share them with you. Appreciate you keeping the story telling alive! Especially Appalachian stories! Thank you JD! May God bless you and yours in this new year. 🇺🇸 🦅 ❤
Good morning JD, you know I wish history had been as enjoyable when I was in school. Oh well at least now that I'm going into my second childhood I'm enrolled in the JD institute of Appalachian history. Have a happy new year my friend.
Thanks for the history of Cades Cove, Mr JD! Been there many times. I have kin buried in the old Baptist cemetery! One in particular who was a Carpenter in the 1800s! We share the same name and trade! Thank U for ur research!
I sure didn’t know this JD I’ve been through Cades Cove several times and seen the trail marker but didn’t know what it was till now. Thanks for sharing next time me and my wife go to the Cove we’ll check it out. Happy New Year to y’all GOD BLESS
This story illustrates the adage: those who don’t know history are bound to repeat history. Thank you for helping to educate people about what could happen again when Americans are pitted against each other as they are now, when those in power tell egregious lies that foment hate.
Mornin' Mr JD! Pray that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and, as always, thanks for yet another great tale of our beautiful "backyard" and her people! Cade's Cove is my absolute favorite place in the Great Smokies! Certainly take myself back to the time and place it was in the past! Definitely a place I'd never have to nor want to leave for any reason should I have been an individual living there! God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
Thank you for the story of Gregory’s Bald. Wow congratulations look at how big your channel has grown!!! I haven’t watched since the storm. There’s been too much work and not enough time. But decided to sit a spell and catch up. It was wonderful to hear your voice again. Got tears in my eyes though due to Charles’ betrayal of his father and town. Guess it’s always been rough up here. Thank you for continuing to share the Appalachian stories. Looks like I have a few to catch up on. The map at the beginning of the story threw me off- South Carolina came plumb up into North Carolina 😂
My famhas always loved driving from Easley S. C. To the cove. We love spending time in the wilds of the mountains watching the animals. We have made friends with the clarks that used to own the clarkent motal.we loved Mr. Sudder, many people, up there in Maggie Valley.
How sad, its hard to understand how a son could do such a thing to his family let alone his own dad. I enjoyed watching the story as I had my coffee this morning. I hope you had a nice Christmas and Happy New Year to you. ❤😊
Thank you, Linda. I hope you enjoy your weekend. It’s a bit rainy here in East Tennessee, but I’m gonna take the jeep out for a drive in the mountains today.
It’s sad they were divided , worse that a son turned in father for protecting family and friends , maybe he saw them kill him because he took them there, but the young man’s heart payed for it later. Great story JD amazing as always
As a direct descendant of the Olivers & Shields it's pleasing to see the remembrance of the history of this hallowed ground. So many these days treat it as a drive-thru zoo with no respect for the precious souls who called this magical place home. I remember a time when I could ride the cove & not see a single person
Thank you, I enjoyed your documentary on Cade's Cove. Never knew the origin of the name or the story behind it. I don't live very far from there, maybe I'll take a little drive and see the place where his capture took place.
That is soooo sad his own son. My dad fought in WWIi I remember him talking to my uncle who was in the same war how the children turned in there parents. But Gods vengeance is His and I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that. Again thanks for sharing
"How sharper than a serpent's tooth .... " That's one of the worst things about war, turning blood against blood. When I first retired to remote TinyTown in the Midwest, it didn't take long to find out they were still fighting the Civil War. (Still are too, for that matter.) I learned whose great-grandpa hung whose great-grandpa on their front porch and left him there as an object lesson to the others. They had to close all 4 churches bc people turned them into shooting galleries. And at least up until recently, high school graduation was celebrated by all the seniors converging on the county courthouse for an officially tolerated if not promoted slugfest, right in front of the sheriff's office. Etc. Well, at least they understood the language when some of the local klan gathered outside my front gate, and I had to walk out with a shotgun broke over my left shoulder as I held up a cell phone in my right hand and chirped, "Smile for the birdie, boys. FBI said be sure and get good pictures of everybody!" They took off lickety split. Now I haven't forgotten how many times I've told that story on your channel but occasionally I wonder if some new members might not have heard it yet. And that's the only way to handle a bully - lean it hard and offer him a taste of his own medicine. I still get 'race traitor' notes in the front gate mailbox every year or so, but none of them have had the nerve to show their face again. Right after the afore-mentioned incident, I also went down to the local gun range with my trusty pistol (a long double-barrel Colt which looks like a sawed-off shotgun but legal) and showed 'em how a little old lady shoots for real. I guess they lost the directions to my house or something since obviously the numerous death threats they issued haven't yet come to pass. What I'm saying is, leaning in is the best defense. Nobody's telling me anything about where I can live in this country.

Yes they stole it from the Cherokee. Then took them on the trail tears loved the story hate what they did to the Cherokee. Thanks JD. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas and hope you have a very happy new year.
Charles act of betrayal is foretold in Matthew chapter 10 verse 21 King James Version. Matthew 10:21 KJV 21. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
No understand. First 1795 then he was born 2 decades after America was a nation. Was that not after civil war 1861-63+? he would be about 30+ years old 1900. 60 when the grate depression -29 certainly made him a bootlegger at that place and time. The natives where already genocideed

Ditto! I would like to know too! How sad the war divided families like this.
Double ditto's to learning more. And was his family murdered right after he was?
Great job JD. I have no idea how you're able to research these stories, but I'm goad you do.

By far….
Hey does your Uncle Bush have any stories about encounters with any cryptids like Kentucky Hellhound, Grafton Monster, Bigfoot??
As far as it back there to Cade's, I would think it would be a disaster to get from point A to point B. To many places for an ambush.

I rarely hear the southern drawl outside of the tourist season. (Live in London) It makes me feel like I'm back at grandma's house😊
Yes they stole it from the Cherokee. Then took them on the trail tears loved the story hate what they did to the Cherokee. Thanks JD. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas and hope you have a very happy new year.
Happy new year
Hmmm. Not a lot of family loyalty there. You'd think blood would be thicker than war. So sad. 😢
Absolutely incredible. I love the old stories of defeating the confederacy. We need more of that energy today. 💜
The reasons families were divided is because one siidr represents greed a selfishness. The other represented the welfare of all to live freely
Sup kiddo how ya doing brother
You couldn’t pay me to do that to my father. 😢
One of the grave stones by the church has a inscription. "Killed by a damn Rebel" on it.
Dang!
Gregory Russell’s grave stone reads “Russell Gregory 1795-1864, Founder of Gregory’s Bald around 1830, Murdered by North Carolina Rebels”
👍
I know a guy named by the Cherokee, Tsawasi. The T is silent. I wonder if the T in the mountain's name is also supposed to be silent.
Shot with his own rifle and betrayed by his own son, wonder how proud his son was of himself after that?
Today story
What a sack of crap Charles Gregory was. Stealing from his home and then betraying his own family like that. I just don’t understand it.
Charles act of betrayal is foretold in
Matthew chapter 10 verse 21
King James Version.
Matthew 10:21 KJV
21. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
❤️
When the south lost , America lost!
It was a war where nobody was the winner
Gregory was a traitor
charles is a disappointment to his father and family.
One man???? What about a few million native Americans? Real Americans?
Thank you
No understand. First 1795 then he was born 2 decades after America was a nation. Was that not after civil war 1861-63+? he would be about 30+ years old 1900. 60 when the grate depression -29 certainly made him a bootlegger at that place and time. The natives where already genocideed
