My grandma was born in 1897 and only went to school til third grade in Mississippi. She was Choctaw Indian and had to work on the farm and help her momma with the other 13 children. She made sure her children all went to school. My mother was her youngest and she was the only one of her siblings that graduated high school. My mother made sure her children all went to college. Education was not an option for us as it was drilled in our heads that it was a necessity for life. I am so thankful to my grandma for seeing and understand the value of learning. Thanks for sharing this book with us. My ancestors were not educated as I was, but they knew it was important. Thanks to that ability to know how to better your family that helped generations 😊
This is my favorite Jesse Stuart book. I'm a former Kentuckian and 3rd generation teacher. Sadly there won't be a fourth. The state of the teaching profession is sufferring due to poor state government decisions. Contrary to what some believe, it is not the students who are driving potential teachers away.
This one hits close to my heart. I grew up in Greenup County, KY where Jesse Stuart was also from. I was fortunate that I had a couple of his sisters as teachers. My best friend in high school lived in Plum Grove, just up the hill from the church. I remember as a teen, learning to drive, I dreaded driving down W Hollow. It was an old road, very narrow and winding. It was so narrow that if you met someone coming the other direction, one of you had to pull off the side so the other could pass. Nerve wracking for a rookie driver! I was always told that W Hollow was so narrow because it was created back when Model T's were common. Jesse and his writings embody the spirit of Appalachia, and specifically Greenup County. Thank you so much, Tipper, for bringing back some great early memories for me.
This book was in the Clearwater Kansas library many years ago, and I loved it. I was home schooling my children at the time, and many of the authors methods were appropriate for my situation. I’m glad to find you reading and discussing this gem of a book.
I am of similar age to you, Tipper. I remember the HOT metal slides that would burn your legs and the monkey bars over black top, if you fell, you got hurt! We were tough little kids!
Thank you, Tipper for having another great video. Love Jesse’s stories! I taught for 43 years in Tennessee and Texas and I read several short stories by Jessie to my students. If any of y’all don’t have “A Jesse Stuart Reader”, get it, a book of short stories and poems.
It’s fun to travel time and space as you read this account of an Appalachian school teacher and his students. You have such a beautiful way of breathing life into the story as you read it. We’re never too old to enjoy listening to a story. Thank you, Tipper. I pray your area made it safely through Helene!
Well, how cool! When I was in high school, my English class got to meet Mr. Stuart at Murray State University. We all got that book, and he autographed them for us. I still have it!
Thred that Runs So Truly..Folk Song I learned,in early Grade School❤ One Great Grand Mother From Ireland, Was an English Teacher..The Kentucky Great Grandmother,Orphaned. Made to only 3rd Grade. Her Handwriting Was Beautiful Clear and Correctly Spelled.. So, This Title ,Has Interested me in Several Facets! Thanks Tipper!😊Was a Teacher..in a certain way,too As many of us are,And di not even realize!❤😊 Wow,I remember Playing Red Rover!😂❤🕊️ Lord's Blessings All ❤💜❤💜❤🕊️
I actually even bought a copy of the book and I am thoroughly enjoying listening to you reading it and bringing in your own experiences. I have shared this video with most of my homeschooling moms.
Jesse Stuart is a favorite writer of mine. I actually met him when he spoke at a high school graduation in southwest VA in the 1960's. Thanks for bringing him to your viewer;s attention. He knew and wrote about the southern Appalachians like nobody else I know of!
I remember watching several short films about good hygiene while I was in elementary school in the 1950s. And we girls had home economic classes, which also taught proper food cleanliness and storage.
I’m really enjoying this one. I was born in Kentucky. I have been away since 1989. I would go home several times a year. Then after my mother passed in 2010, I made my last visit in 2011. This story sounds like the stories she told me as a child and her life in a one room school house. One thing she told me was my grandmother had made her a new flour sack dress for her first day of the fourth grade and how her teacher was wearing the same pattern flour sack dress. I collect books from Kentucky authors. I have several of Jessie Stuart’s books. I’ve been so busy with my garden and animals I’ve gotten away from your last four readings. I’m so excited! Now I get to move ahead to the second, third and fourth Thank you Tipper. You made this homesick lady very happy with this one.
I am fortunate to have met Jesse at my elementary school in the early 70s. He would come and read some of his short stories to us. He did this a couple of years at my school in southeastern Kentucky. Thanks for reading this Tipper! All the very best, Gordon
Jesse Stuart is my 92 year old aunt’s favorite author. She used to be a librarian and drove the first public library book mobile here in Chattanooga when I was very young. She’s going to be pleased that you’re sharing this book with so many people.
My Mama grew up in a very small town!!! She told me about school way back then, she went to a school where kindergarten through 3rd were in 1 room and 4th through 6th in the other room!!! Crazy when you see how much times have changed!!! I'm excited about next Friday!!! God Bless Us All!!!
2 days late listening. To many grandkids in my son's house to listen. So I waited till I returned home. This is going to be a good read. Thank you Tipper.
In the first grade we made drinking cups out of paper! There was a water spicket out in the yard that someone had run from a near by house. I've ordered this book for a young teacher friend I know.
This sounds like a great book. I attended a one room school my 6th grade. They moved 3 of our country schools into town,to many kids. I enjoyed that year. God Bless. I'm so glad Grannys home & better. 💚&🙏🙏 Jean
My grandmother taught in schools like your writer and she had to "board" with trustees families. I am now a principal at a K-12 rural school in Alabama. We have certainly advanced in many ways but sadly some have stayed basically the same. Poverty, need, lack of interest in education are all still very active. At least I don't have to carry buckets of water or chop firewood, but yes, some kids still need baths.
I'm already looking forward to Friday. This is going to be very interesting. When I first started school in the 50s, I attended a three room school house. I can still picture it in my mind.
I think I’m going to like this book. My Mom went to a school like this. People talk about violence today like it’s new, but she had to be a fighter to stay safe. She only went through the 8th grade and married at age 15.
This is going to be a winner! Books are made all the better with the talent you have at reading them. It takes a special talent to bring a book to life.
There was only one jewel toned metal cup beside the kitchen sink at granny and pawpaw’s house. We all drank from that one cup and I never remember anyone getting sick from drinking after each other. However, raising my family, we never drank after each other and we were rarely sick. 🤷🏼♀️
Tipper, I have been a fan of Jesse Stuart since I was a child, having been read to at night even when I was old enough to read myself. Then, when I was in my early teens I read my favorite of his. DAUGHTER OF THE LEGEND left a lasting impact on me. I can still remember now, when I have a grandchild that age, the tears and hurt I felt due to the injustice and prejudice that took place in it. Although it was fiction, it is rumored to be based on his romance with a Melungeon girl. There are several Melungeon traits I share with other members of my family and I am proud of what used to bring shame and disrespect to others years ago in Eastern KY and Newman's Ridge in TN. If you folks haven't read it, I highly recommend it! Speaking of the description of the dew, it brought back memories of this barefoot little country girl, high stepping thru the tall grass near the dirt packed yard. Have you ever heard of DEW CRACKS? I got them! They were painful splits of the tender skin between your toes. Orphaned early, I was raised by my mama's parents and her maiden sister. Entertainment except for an old B & W TV was reading and story telling, memorization of Bible passages and poems! My Grandma, Amy, taught school before she married and rode side saddle to board thru the week near the one room school where she taught. Her father was a teacher, trustee, etc. Education was very important in our household, through book learning and common sense. My teachers encouraged my writing as I wrote my first poem before I was twelve! Later on, I went to near W HOLLOW and did a reading at the park named in his honor! Many of my short stories, poems, etc have been published and I have traveled to read them, but being THERE sure made for a great memory.
I’m a retired school teacher and I have heard my mom talk about being taught in a one room school! The is going to be a great book! Thanks Tipper!, 😊Regina
Hi Tipper this book sounds interesting looking forward to the next reading. So happy to hear Granny is home from the hospital sendimg prayers for y'all thanks for the reading God bless ❤
Hi Tipper. Although I have lived in Columbus Ohio most of my life. My family came from Greenup Kentucky. At the county courthouse in Greenup there is a lovely monument to Jesse Stuart . I think I have read most of his books. Looking forward to hearing you read this one. Happy Mother's Day to you, Granny, Katie and Cory. God Bless Your family.
I read this book years ago and loved it. I’m so glad you’re reading it now so I get to enjoy it again. You commented about going to Berea and about contra dancing. My brother lives in Berea and used to go to the dances regularly for years. You may have danced with him if you went often. Can’t wait for the next reading of this one. Thanks and prayers continue for Granny and your family.
Thank you for reading this book, Tripper. I just learned that you do this. I put my AirPods in and do chores that I have been putting off. The chores went so quick and the story took me away. Thank you so much. I can't wait til Friday to hear more!
Oh, my goodness! I'm almost 76 and I fondly remember my 7th grade teacher, Mr. Carmel Wellman, reading that book aloud to our class daily. Jesse Stuart inspired Mr. Wellman to become a teacher, and he was one of the best. He grew up very poor in the tiny town of Crossnore, NC, and went on to graduate from Wake Forest University and receive a graduate degree from Western Carolina University. Wonderful choice!
I went to school in the 40's i remember the waterbucket i still have a dipper hangining up over my kitchen sink that i like to drink from now and then!!
Have read this many times. I loved it as a younger person and now as a retired teacher it means even more. And also as a child of Appalachia my roots run deep into these mountains my ancestors came to the Smokey mountains in the 1700’s
I was slow in school but i made it to the seventh grade and quit to work on the farm but i learned a lot with my kids going to school good story so far God bless you all
My mother and her two sisters all taught in rural East Tennessee schools. My mom tells the story of a little boy who came back from the outhouse up to her desk and turned around saying “Mizz Bong (Berrong) cane you butt’n up by bitches?”
As always your reading of the Appalachian books that you choose make an extremely enjoyable listening experience. Have you ever considered contacting the authors/publishers and offering to make audible editions for them? You definitely have the talent and experience...
Horrible that Guy beat a girl, and the men in the community didn’t take up for her. Love the thought of the children marking time with their feet. Distracting, but an important lesson in itself.

Thank you for sharing your story!
I so enjoyed reading your story! Thank you!🪷
Love your story❤
Don't you realize that YOU ARE NOW THE TEACHER???? To all of us. With your stories and instructions and crafts and arts. You are a great teacher.
Thank you 😊

I’m so glad you enjoy the book too 😊
I’m a second generation teacher in West Virginia, my niece wants to be a teacher and I’m trying to talk her out of it.
Tipper, you bring these readings about Appalachia to the next level, with you wonderful accent. I enjoy these, so much! Thank you, so much! ❤️🙏🇨🇦

In my humble town here in Massachusetts, there is a one room schoolhouse that is still in use. I'm loving this book already.

We’re never too old to enjoy listening to a story. Thank you, Tipper. I pray your area made it safely through Helene!
Oh, I remember Red Rover and Hop Scotch and of course Jump Rope!!!
Love this wonderful book. This was the only Appalachian literature taught in CT when I taught in 1960s
Well, how cool! When I was in high school, my English class got to meet Mr. Stuart at Murray State University. We all got that book, and he autographed them for us. I still have it!

This is going to be a great book thank you Tipper stay safe. Have a blessed weekend .
How appropriate to start this book during Teacher Appreciation Week.
I can already tell this one is going to be fantastic! I also have educators in my family and this chapter has brought back so memories ...
My grandmother taught in schools like your writer and she had to "board" with trustees families. I am now a principal at a K-12 rural school in Alabama.

It’s such a good book!
Tipper both of my grandmothers were teachers. One started out in a one room schoolhouse.
Such a fascinating story. Thanks for reading Tipper
I read that book a couple of years ago. It is so good!
Can't wait until next Friday
I think this is going to be another good book. ❤️
This was very interesting. I look forward to the next reading!
Me, too.
Hey Tipper, you picked a good book. I'm looking forward to hear more. 😊
Really enjoyed the first reading looks like we've got another exciting story ahead of us
Even though he is referring to the year 1949, I am picturing in my mind the school house on Little House on the Prairie!
Im from Hopkinsville,Ky. I was in a split class.Thank you for sharing this story
Thanks for listening 😊
Jesse Stuart is a great author great video thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!

Hello Tipper. Love the start of this book.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Wow this was awesome I love listening to you read reminds me of when I was in school
My mother and her two sisters all taught in rural East Tennessee schools. My mom tells the story of a little boy who came back from the outhouse up to her desk and turned around saying “Mizz Bong (Berrong) cane you butt’n up by bitches?”
😊
As always your reading of the Appalachian books that you choose make an extremely enjoyable listening experience. Have you ever considered contacting the authors/publishers and offering to make audible editions for them? You definitely have the talent and experience...
I haven’t 😊 thank you!
Think I'm really going to enjoy this one.
I'm looking forward to next Fri. He has alot of patience...
I read this book in high school. I really enjoyed it and I wasn't much of a reader.
Horrible that Guy beat a girl, and the men in the community didn’t take up for her.
Love the thought of the children marking time with their feet. Distracting, but an important lesson in itself.
My all time favorite author & book!!!
Yay!
Tipper hi, I’m enjoying this book I will be listening for the rest of the book it’s a good one! God bless love ya’ll Jan
I’m so glad!!
Thank you 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼
