Nicely done Robin, you along with The Walker Sisters are a treasure. Oh to go back in time and spend a day with them on their farm.
Bless all there hardworking hearts. Good clean living!
A lovely tribute , the woman that presented this did an exceptional job ❤️
Robin, you are a wealth of information about the sisters, and I appreciate you for telling their stories. I've never had the pleasure of hiking to the homestead, but am absolutely fascinated by their history and lives. In recent videos, I see the homestead is now tarped and the roof in major disrepair. I certainly hope the Park has plans to fix it to continue to keep their history alive. Thank you so VERY much for this presentation!!
Thank you Robin for sharing your memories, I love stories and photos from the past,thank you again.
My husband owned land on cumberland island ga. He was the first to be condemned by eminent domain to create cumberland island national seashore in 1972. It’s a long story, but he ended up with a life estate for his life and we enjoyed it till he died 10 years ago and I had 90 days to be gone. No bridges, everything has to be barged. No mail or stores . We lived there full time for years and hunted and fished and had firewood(it was in his deed) and a garden and chickens . Like a dream somewhere long ago that I had to wake up to.
People don’t realize regular folks had their land taken in order for them to have the parks we have today.
This lady was so fortunate to know these women!
What a beautiful experience!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful memories and experiences. I absolutely love hearing how the people of this area lived their daily lives, working hard, but living such full lives. This is just a treasure!!!
What an amazing story .
Mam I hope you see this note. I am SO Appreciative of the stories and insight to this family and all the pictures!!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to show and tell their story for all future generations ❤️
This was fantastic!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful recollections of the Walker Sisters. A pleasure to listen to and watch your video.
This is amazing. 🙏
I am absolutely enthralled with the history of the Walker Sisters. Every time I come to the mountains I have to visit the cabin. I feel an attachment to the cabin and call it “home”.
Great video. Amazing story.
I live in UK, and only heard about the Walker sisters today. Amazing, thank you for your video, what an admirable lifestyle they had, albeit a very hard one, oh that people today would have this same contentment. .
Just ran across this video. You are a wondrful storyteller. We met you 2 years ago before hiking to the Walkers sisters home. It was a fantastic day with beautiful memories made. Thank you so much again for making our day.
My family and I got to meet you at the Greenbriar schoolhouse before hiking up to the walker sisters home. We enjoyed your stories and kindness so much. You gave my grandsons a old token for helping you carry some items into the school. It was such a pleasure meeting you. Thank you for your wonderful stories about the sisters.
Thank you for this video. So wish that I could have met and spent some time with them.
Thank you Robin
Beautiful Amazing Women. Fantastic story. Well done.
Its funny, Ive know about the Walker Sisters since the early 60s and have had 35mm slides of them inside their home that I bought from Sugarlands gift shop in about 1980. Now I am old and it is amazing how different they sisters look to me now! Young girls!
Is that @7:10 an American Chestnut Tree? Really great recall of the events of the Walker sisters. I have a book of a Walker branch, Marie Walker, written by Bill Walker. Great book for tracing family roots.I wonder how they kept squirrels & other animals from eating up their corn?
Good question! I think they must have had cats and dogs.
Awesome story! Love the history, I gotta take a hike to the cabin soon.
Excellent. I’m thankful the Park is there for all to visit, see etc.! but I do not like what progress does to the souls of people. Today 8/10/22 a lot of good people have no attachment to any thing of the past. Mow it down, knock it down, sell it and just plain dump it.😢 I’ve spent many springs and falls in Cades Cove and Townsend. Gatlinburg early on was charming. Not so now. I understand progress as I’ve lived thru 82 years of progressing. I still praise the thinking of saving, protecting these beautiful parks we have in USA. Let’s all work together to protecting them.
I've been around for 72 years and I've come to believe that the powers that be will destroy this earth. I live in the mountains of New Mexico and I see the forest dying around me.
Me fasino est video de las hermanas Walker. Muy lindo grasiassaludos de KanzasCity
Now John Prine's song Paradise has added meaning to me....
Thank you Robin,
God bless you
Sooo I joy your talk thank you

Cque grato es que alquien cuente esta historia.grasias
I'm making a trip there
Tks for sharing,we met at the old school house many years ago I love listening to the stories,I'm coming for Christmas.I don't think it's right that the state can come and take your land.
Yes the govt can take what they want if they can use it more than you can…

Fascinating. Are there any rgandchildren or great grandchildren from Caroline. How about her brothers
Why aren't there any pictures of their mother?
Ive lived in Tennessee all my life an hve never heard of the walker sisters, very interesting, the legacy they left needs to be in place today but its not an thts why the world is so evil
At 9:32 the little girl is not sitting on a stool, but in a wooden high chair for babies & toddlers.
What happened to the Walker familys mother?
I suppose since they were not allowed to chop wood, thay were able to gather enough firewood and wood for cooking??
She said they were allowed to chop wood. no one else could as they needed it for heat, cooking etc.
Was that Primitive Baptist? I couldn't catch that.
It means "original" Baptist. They hold a strict belief that the Bible is the infallible Word of God, and is not subject to interpretation by human leaders.
At 14:50 and you are talking about spring cleaning. What is musselum(I may be misspelling the word but I also font want to spell it they way I see it in my head) what is the proper way to spell it and what did it do. I was born and raised in Humboldt, Tn and I have heard of it before but it has been so long that I have forgotten.
I think she said Muslin, it’s a kind of gauze-like fabric that’s used for cleaning or cheese making.
@@diagonalllie thank you so much. I've heard of it before but I never knew the spelling.
They shouldn’t have been made to give up their up home! That’s wrong

they were not. they lived there until the last of them passed away.
26:00 Margaret, the ruler if the roost. How could she be so selfish as to encourage her sisters not to marry? Just because she had no interest in marriage or children doesn't mean she had to guilt her siblings into not seeking it for themselves. "She encouraged them not to marry, but she was really quite nice" That doesnt sound nice to me. Nope. Seems to me she was entitled and selfish, and robbed her sisters of joy. Master manipulator.
Nice presentation but you are interfering with the photos. Get rid of your square please. We don't need you in the entire presentation.
