All the Appalachian channels beat anything on the wretched, filthy Television of today. I love them. Let's face it how many episodes of Bonanza, Andy Griffith, and Gunsmoke can you watch over and over and over? These channels are better than anything Hollywood can conjure up to be sure.❤👍👍
Thank you my friend !
I agree, as im not from that region i love learning about its past and current ways.
Totally agree!!

This is where I come to when I’m a bit overwhelmed with life and I just want to say thank you because listening to you is very calming . Blessings to everyone with health and happiness 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼
Thank you Betty
All of us hillbillies can put away a bologna sandwich on wheat toast.

I feel the same way ❤
My Aunt D used to go by betty boop. That's great!
@@jrloftis0719 awe I love this 🌹
I was raised in on the Cumberland plateau in the Adams, Cedar Hill area. Your stories are from the heart and always bring me back to the place I was raised. Thank You for seeing the good in people who were raised in places who others think are backwards. However, we know the truth of the matter! God Bless YOU!
indeed, these are OUR people and OUR story. I hold my head high and am proud of our heritage. God Bless Appalachia.
I absolutely love the Appalachian storyteller. I was born and raised in Georgia and these stories that you tell they're based on the truth remind me of my family and my grandmother and grandfather my 19 aunts and uncles and all my cousins it was the best time of my life. I greatly appreciate you putting this on this channel so they're all of us could feel a sense of home again. Thank you greatly!
Thank you so much Margaret, I appreciate your kind words and support!
Ooooh, me too! The stories are simply breathtaking. 😊
@@sandi3561 thank you
Amazing stories. I love it.
Am from north east Tennessee

Humility is a rare commodity along with Ole Doc. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Through the love of his grandson Ole Doc found Humility and respect for this young doctor and his new fangled medicine. Cool story, enjoyed.
What a great comment, I love it when the story is interpreted exactly as I intended. Thanks so much James
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I would like to reciprocate thank you kind sir. That's very kind of you to say. 👍
Great story. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you my friend
These are best stories and refreshing to hear about real people and real life! Not the BS on the TV!
Thank you!
Just love your storytelling, left with a feeling of awe. Love from my heart to yours. Strange how often we can’t articulate what it is we feel, about things like that. One of the wonders of being human.
Thank you Maria, it makes me happy when these stories connect with folks like you. I leave myself vulnerable each time I share one of these stories and brace myself for the worlds reaction. It blesses my heart to know that folks like you listen.
I also love all of the Appalachian mountains stories. I'm from Western NC mountains in Haywood County and am very proud of my heritage. My grandma talked about the Doctor of our town back in her times. Growing up a doctor still came to my grandma's house if anyone was sick. My grandparents, mom, dad seen The Doctor (Sr), I saw him and his son (Jr) and the wife of his son.
Wonderful people.
❤️
In my neck of the woods we had Ole Doc Douglas. I can't count how many times I was sent to bring him for help when I was a youngen. And he always came running with his bag.
I do miss those days.
I'm never going to these government doctors they've got now.
Love your voice it’s perfect for the telling of these stories ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Great video storyteller keep up the great work GOD BLESS
Hi JD! Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day!
Thank you Willow!
You are an amazing story teller. Love the stories.❤➕ ❤ God bless and all here.
Thank you so much!
Another fantastic piece of storytelling JD! I reckon we’ve had similar experiences here in Australia over the years, probably still happening in some parts. Thanks for your obvious research and dedication to the Mountain people. 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much Kev!
😅😅😅😅😮😢
The stories told on here have floated around since they happened. Luckily folks have passed them down, telling them around the stove or fireplace after dinner, or around the campfire while camping or fishing. Now the Appalachian Storyteller has researched them and is getting them beyond the community that they've been confined to for years. Thanks J. D.
Your videos have top position on my Saturday to do lists. Thank you so much. Your fiddle sets my soul ready for a great day and your stories warm my heart. God bless you dear.
Thank you Melissa! Have a great weekend, thanks for making me a part of it ❤️
Love the nostalgic look at life much tougher than today but they thrived
Thank you!
Thank you, JD, for this story. Great ending. Kinda reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies with granny with her doctor bag. Keep them coming.
Thank you sir!
thank you, JD, for this wonderful video! this story mimics the 1979 movie "the incredible journey of dr meg laurel" with Linsey Wagnor, if you have not seen this movie, you will love it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Thank you my friend
Fabulous story! The new ways encroached into the mountains! Thanks for another great one!
Thank you Karen!
Y’all know that a lot of peaceful happy people up in the heads of these here hollers were forever disturbed by the approach of modern day crap. Everything was going great and one day it was over. Land and resources were stole from the people in these hollers over time. It wasn’t right the way people were treated back in them days. The only difference between the people and the American Indians was most people lived to tell what happened to them.
I’m binge watching your channel! I can’t get enough of it. Every story is something to behold.
Thank you Catherine! and this is a great story of how a old time mountain doctor clashed with a young doctor with a "sheep skin" from some school
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I thoroughly enjoyed this video! ❤️👍🏻
What a great ending!!!! Thanks for telling us another wonderful story...
Thank you Pinky!
The world is a better place with you in it. Bless you 🙏 🇨🇦

My daddy's family comes from Morgantown, West Virginia. And this kinda gives me a glimpse into what my family was like. Oh, and my husband's family comes from Webster Springs, and Diana, West Virginia.
Thanks for sharing Karen
Morning JD

My favorite channel!! Best channel on RUclips!
Thank you ❤️
Wonderful story of the way it used to be... you do a great job conveying the emotions of the people.... Thanks JD
Thank you Kathy!
Balsam oil 👍😉 & " pock mark tonsils" . My mom's side gave us 3 generations, some of us with these tonsils. They'll get pits that harbor debris, bacteria etc. & Infection was reoccurring -NOT SO LOVELY! As a kid they took out my brothers , then they refused to do mine . As the official ideas had changed. So I had to wait till I was legally an adult & talk someone into taking them out . ( I knew no other way at the time) Later my mom said yep she had those awful tonsils too . I said gee, was that scary getting them out back then ? She smiled a proud smile & walked over to her fond memory shelf. Picked up an old medicine bottle that said oil of balsam. She said, mom painted my tonsils with this till they were no longer a problem . She said see - opened wide and there's me looking & looking . I said mom, where ARE your tonsils ? She smiled so big and laughed . Well I'm not sure , but they never gave me trouble again. Ha ha. Apparently between the "pow wow workings" and the balsam they really did "remove all trace of infection' as the tonsils had wizened away to nothing ! Goodness knows nowadays, there's likely some herbal / natural support for such an issue rather than surgery. ( if we go looking for it .) But Grandma knew how to take care of business.
What a great story!
Dang....another fine yarn....
Thank ye kindly
I'm damn sure not the emotional type and it's been a long while since this face felt wetness outside of the rain or the shower... But between the happy ending of the story and more importantly your narration, floodgates and water works definitely came over it... It's a wonder you don't have 10 million subscribers. You're a genius of your craft kind sir!
Thank you so much, my friend that was a sweet comment
That was a right nice story!
Thank you so much !
I was with my 96 year old Granny when she died in 2002. As soon as she took her last breath, her dog at the end of her house starting howling. He did it for about 45 minutes. Hadn’t done it all that day or after the 45 minutes. The first thing that popped in my head was Numbers Chapter 22. I truly believe that dog could see something we couldn’t.
I felt The Holy Ghost like I never felt it before as she was dying. A Heavenly Host took my Granny home. She was a devout Christian and loved the Lord. Now I took her name since I’m a Granny now. Read about the donkey. You’ll see what I’m talking about. KJV version.
amazing! I truly believe the mountain doc knew things that the city doc could never find in a book, we could learn a lot from him
deerslayer9point: There's much of nature we'll never understand in this life. But the greatest job I ever had was working with Hospice. Now I'm not making light of the subject, but I always hoped to be the attending when someone passed bc I've seen too many people not handle it well. These experiences made a great deal of difference in my own life. And I can assure you or anybody else that nobody crosses Jordan alone. One lady who had been comatose for about a week suddenly opened her eyes, looked at me and smiled, and said "I'm leaving now." Which she did. To me there's no greater honor than to be with someone at such a time. Sometimes they're taken with a sudden natural fear, and they really need your reassurance. I always tried to ask them a little favor like say hi to my Mom for me so they'd know I had confidence in their destination. Anyway, your Granny sounds like she was really a lovely person.
Glad you felt the holy ghost power. I saw it one morning appearing at the church window way up high. Then it wasn't long after I saw that fire that I experienced it at a Baptist church I sure was captivated by this power. It's not the church building it's the Spirit of God.
It's not church membership.

@@frostyfrances4700 Well said Frosty
I wasn't raised in Appalachia but my family moved from there back in the 1800s,some of them on the trail of tears to Oklahoma
amen my friend, we are glad you are here
Your stories are making me cry tonight. I'm playing catch up. I've not seen them lately. I've been a little bit on the busy side.
Glad to see you back, hope you enjoy
Fascinating story 💚🌹💯 love Julie south Africa
Thank you Julie!
This reminds me of my grandmother’s always telling us about the mountain remedies that got her through this or that sickness. She was happy for modern medicine but she always swore (when our illnesses weren’t too severe and she would try to tell us to do this or that as a cure instead of “spending unnecessary money on expensive and unnatural ‘medicines’”) by the mountain remedies of her childhood.
I grew up the same way
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - I love science of virtually every kind. But I'm also a fairly adept herbalist and good enough bush doctor (brother was Army medic) to keep myself out of the tlc of modern medicine *most* of my life So I was delighted when my beloved scientists figured out why the tree frog wound remedy does work! (Forget burying a dishrag under the back steps to keep your mil away - mine was from hell and I had to run her off physically .... but as Brent Terhune says, I digest ... ) When you tie Froggy belly down over a wound, he thinks he's under attack himself and therefore exudes a natural antibiotic from his belly for his own protection. When he stops wriggling, that means he's given up so then you need to find yourself another frog to continue the disinfecting. I follow several popular science outlets from professional sources, so this isn't any kind of mumbo jumbo. But it amuses me no end when formal science verifies a time-honored and extremely effective home remedy. Pioneer types didn't have access to even the best established medical care of their era; so they had to know their stuff or die before their time. It was that simple.
Hey & Good Day
You to Taz
I remember as a child, I was really sick and the doctor came over to my house and said if my fever hasn’t gone down in an hour, I will have to go to the hospital. I am 69 years old so this would’ve been in the 1960’s😊
Grandpa's love , sometimes it's a miracle!
Excellent! All the best from the land down under.
Thank you Marie!
That was riveting!!!Your storytelling is a breath of fresh air👍
Thank you Brooke!

You, sir, r my new “CRACK”!!! Just found u today the Melungeon video. I’m from West Virginia and there’s Melungeon in my family. Thank u for that video, by the way. I forgot how much I missed hearin these stories and I LOVE listening to u tell them. It’s like story time on the radio! I’m not old enough to remember that far back but I do remember my family telling stories like this! THANK U for reading these stories!
Glad to have you here my friend. Pull up a chair and make yourself right at home.
This is great!… Mercer County WV here.
Thanks so much Lawrence, have a blessed day brother
Copperhill present! Morning, JD and thanks for another fine tale!
Morning Scott!
I think the old doctor was jealous of the Jung doctor and made people suspicious of the medicine for treatment.
I believe your right
This reminds me of Dr May Horton of Cumberland Co Tennessee
Wow!
Thank you I enjoyed that story very much
Glad you enjoyed it Dwight!

I was happily surprised by this story. I was set for it to be the predictable, “fancy city doctor gets schooled by wise mountain ways” kind of plot, but I guess you don’t survive, let alone thrive, in a place as rugged as the mountains if you assume you know everything already. I like to imagine a sequel where the mountain Doc helps out at the clinic, learns to use a thermometer and stethoscope and keep notes. He doesn’t abandon his old ways, he just improves them, by adding new skills to his old wisdom. In exchange he teaches the city doc how to diagnose at a glance, what folk remedies are most effective, where the important plants grow, and most importantly, that healing is a calling higher then jealousy or prejudice. They learn to trust each other and the well of knowledge in their community gets that much deeper.
that is a great idea!
Yeah we're all healthier for these new doctor's!
Love these stories, such a great adventure .
Glad you like them!
Jarred sent me over be proud to listen to some ole apalachin stories

A side note, what beautiful music. Irish traditional music at its simplest and best is quite similar. Jigs and reels, and occasionally a polka. No singing, that’s a bit different. Fiddles, concertina, tin whistle, maybe a flute to be fancy.
There’s probably some interesting historical link, but I don’t know. Thank you.
Oh, and of course the banjos!
thanks so much for that, I am a musician myself and I put as much thought and effort into the music as I do the story itself.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller It is very much appreciated sir. I love your work.
@@jessovenden Thank you ❤
That was an absolutely amazing story! Thank you for telling it to the rest of the world, keep up the good work!

I was born in the late summer of 1969 in the Appalachian foothills. But my Granny, Ms. Lynda Estelle Woodward grew up deep in the mountains of Virginia. She always kept her home made remedies and poltices, and would always treat us young'ns first before any Dr. was ever called on. 😏 The base of almost every med she had was corn liquor and some of the most foul smelling lotions and salves you could imagine. But always seemed to do the trick.
BUT she knew when it was time to summon a proper MD.
I remember once when I was little I had come down with a terrible flu that had me cruddied up for a week and it was getting worse and close to pneumonia.
Momma took me up to Granny's house and I remember her making me get into some long handle pajamas and she rubbed some really smelly stuff on my chest, then gave me her "cough medicine".. 😏 which was moonshine whiskey mixed with opium that she got from Poppy she grew herself. So basically Laudanum. 😁 I felt much better pretty quickly. But that was the only one dose she gave me of that. Afterwards it was corn liquor mixed with hard cherry candy and a shake of crushed black pepper. 3 days and nights of that and the salves next to a nice fireplace and I was good to go. 😊 Oh, and some of the best chicken soup I've ever had then or since.
I still have those old stained up red long handle pajamas stored in a box in my closet.
RIP Granny. I'll see you soon ❤️
Thanks for sharing those memories!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Thanks for the channel 👍

Awesome story! I can't get enough of this channel. I usually watch movies on RUclips in the evening. Yesterday, I watched nothing but these stories; till I went to bed around midnight! I may do it again tonight! lol
I love this ❤️
How are you doing sir . Iam Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American RUclips channels since Christmas 2019 . Actually I learned that Appalachian mountain region have special accents called southern English known as mountain speech or hillbilly English . Southern region including Appalachian and ozark . Actually they taught us there are American English and British English. Appalachian known for hand made quilts and pottery, wood craving , folklore, myths, superstition. There are big foot , Jersey devil cryptic. We too in Arabic countries We were kids our parents and some parents till nowadays if kids are stubborn if you don’t listen we have monsters for day time or another for night . Thank you for your wonderful cultural documentary channel and l learned too from dr Barry van channel there are surnames in Appalachian region. Stories is part of nation culture, literature. Iam so sorry to be little long but reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English as none native speakers. Good luck to you your dearest ones .
You are doing a great job !
I love listening to your stories!! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much Shaunda!
They remind me of stories my grand and grandma would tell me

The Appalachia culture included American natives, blacks and whites alike. Today, they all live one Appalachian culture in striking similar ways. My parents were from the Northern Cumberland Plateau of Ky. I love to visit kin folks and people there. They claim the land is the closest thing to heaven. Some of my distant ancestors were the barber doctors.
You sure have a good production group .
I wish it was a group, its just me 😂
