I want you to know JD, I have been binge watching your videos and listening to your podcasts on Audible. I simply love your writing style and your voice for telling stories as well as the music selections and video. Thank you very much for sharing your talents with us! My soul belongs in Tennessee although I’ve never lived there. I can’t describe how I know this except it’s a feeling in me that longs for that area and the era of the 1800s. Perhaps someday I will be blessed to live in the mountains.

My grandfather's cabin is still standing although a bit fallen down He cut down sawed and built it with his own hands. His farm is a historic landmark in Canton NC . It's the oldest still working dairy farm in Western NC. Wish I could have lived there ...
Love love love my Appalachian mountains it's peoples heritage the log cabins the artifacts of days gone by, God is present in every aspect. Thank you for this.
Indeed, it took them 2 years to reassemble the first cabin, and they have been working 2 years reassembling the second one. When finished it will be a schoolhouse.

Hey, J. D. 💚🌸. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing story! Wish we could hear the cabins tell their stories! I always wanted to hear the stories the old trees could tell 😊
The house we bought a.few years back had a old barn out the back. The estate agent said it needed to be removed. But after our builder checked it out he said all it need was new iron on the roof. The bones were solid. Will stand for years. We love it. It’s great for storage and we can store the whole winters wood in it.
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos. History is kept alive because of you. As soon as you step inside, you can just "feel" the lives they've held. The happiness, sadness, death, and new life all happened under that one roof. Many times over.
Howdy Sir- I just found your channel and have been watching some of your videos. I appreciate what you are doing. The restoration of these cabins is really nice. Having done some of that I can appreciate the work that went into doing a great restoration. Thank you for making these videos and keeping our rich history alive. Much of the culture and customs of the Appalachians made its way to where I live in western Arkansas in the Ouchita Mountains. God’s blessings to you
Thank you my friend and welcome home, pull up a chair and stay awhile. There are about 100 videos here and new ones come out most every weekend. Glad you have you here.
We where a family of 6 and lived in three rooms. People nowadays have to have a bedroom for everyone with an extra. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed night!
We lived in shotgun 3 room house growing up. It was on Clark Street on a dead end one street over from Knoxville junk yard. We had 4 boys 2 girls, & my parents live in it. Oldest brother wasn't there, he was in Vietnam. My Momma's daddy built a cabin in Friendsville TN on Misers Station road. When my cousin sold it the people that bought it tore it down. I can still see each room. The kitchen where we ate lots of my mamaws canned food. The living room where My papaw's kids sat up all night with him in his casket by the wall. The high bed in the bedroom with a string coming from the light tied to the top of the bed.
You are doing a great service with all your videos of the past landmarks!! You also have a great voice for narrating these stories, Very fitting for the videos and relaxing to watch and listen with a hot cup of coffee!! Please keep up the good work
My dad was born in a log cabin at cove creek ,ark. ,, when I got married we hiked down in there to see it ,roof had fell in along with a wall. It was a one room and a table that my grand built inside of it ,they couldn’t get out when they moved up on the hill was still therein real bad shape ,love you
Great video. Thank you for capturing our sweet cabins and the stories they tell. I'm glad Rob was there when you stopped. Next time you come, we will share a haunting that took place in the first one. The couple in the photo above the mantle paid us a visit.
Another great video, I have always been fascinated by log cabins and how they were built, amazing craftsmanship these folks knew what they were doing, Donnie Laws does alot of great videos on the Appalachia, I think you would enjoy it, he is a great storyteller also, thanks for sharing friend.
Another great find JD👍🏻 I have a 4th great grandmother that was Cherokee.. from Tennessee Maiden name was Sizemore.. she married my Grandfather.. they called William (Cherokee Bill) Begley.. they settled in Ky. your stories are so heartwarming.. I’m so grateful I found your site👍🏻❤️
Oh my that old cook stove in the corner of that cabin is identical to the one my friend has in his garage he heats his garage with it it burns wood and we throw frozen pizzas in there during the winter when we're working on stuff I can't believe it I've never seen another one until now
Thank you. Have you been to the cabin of off Edgemoor road in Claxton Tennessee. The David Hall Cabin 830 Old Edgemoor Road Clinton TN . It's in Claxton but we don't have a post office. Half of us have Powell address the other half Clinton.
YOU GOTTA DO AN UPLOAD & VIDEO ON COLD MOUNTAIN NORTH CAROLINA.... EVEN IF YOU WATCH THE MOVIE... YOU CAN TELL IT'S CLOSE TO PERIOD.... IT A MUST FOR A TRUE STORYTELLER LIKE YOURSELF.......
One more question has it been repainted? A good scraping and a couple coats of paint would sure help in preserving such important history as this. Too bad somehow we couldn't organize an effort to do just that ❤.
I'm beginning to think you might need to change the intro to your videos to something like... " The video you are about to watch may lead to addiction, watch at your own discretion....😂
The two story house similar to my great grand parents built in 1800's had exact smock house my great grandparents house had three rooms downstairs..one bed room living room with pump organ 1915 upstairs one bedroom and closet and chamber pot area smock house identical might have been a set like from sears and rubuck . Church most definitely am connected too ..Cherokee and possibly minister Rev Deaton who son was in Jaskson Mississippi...
YOUR A GREAT NORTH CAROLINA STORY TELLER... GOT AN IDEA FOR AN UPLOAD... DO A VIDEO & RESEARCH THE MOVIE "COLD MOUNTAIN" WITH JUDE LAW, NICOLE KIDMAN & DONALD SUTHERLAND.... IT WOULD TRULY BE A FEATHER IN YOUR CAP... SO TO SPEAK. IT'S ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR....... THINK ABOUT IT. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT.....THANKS BROTHER...!
And now days couples that have 2 children they have to have 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, with a beautiful kitchen and they eat out 5 nights a week. Shameful
WATCH THAT MOVIE........... "COLD MOUNTAIN" OR NOT. I"M GIVING YOU ONE GREAT IDEA FOR A VIDEO. CHECK IT OUT. YOU KNOW HOW I'M NOT BULL SHITTING YOU....? I STAND & WANT NOT A PENNY FOR MY TIME, THIS IS YOU.......
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller If you're ever in my neck of the woods and interested I'll buy you dinner and can show you a beautiful stone church It's one of 6 that a man built It's a great legacy that's isn't known by many

@@TheAppalachianStoryteller do you know if Mark Bowe had a hand in the restoration of these cabins?
@@ralphcrosby9622 hmm, not sure, I know the second cabin, was donated by a guy from California who used to live in Grainger County
Incredible history and a great find. It amazed me how they disassembled, moved and rebuilt the old cabins.
Indeed, it took them 2 years to reassemble the first cabin, and they have been working 2 years reassembling the second one. When finished it will be a schoolhouse.
I enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing.
