I don't have the money but I love listening and watching and I share and tell about you you are amazing I came from the north been here 33 years in the Foothills and now someone that came from the mountains. Just wanted to say thank you your amazing story teller and teaching of the history
I grew up dirt poor. Nothing saddens me than the vulnerability and shame that comes with that kind of poverty, which is why my life has always been about kindness.
Well said
@The Appalachian Storyteller thanks, and thanks for your awesome stories!
Poverty is a humbling thing. It is hard to get over
Grow up dirt poor myself,but never knew I was poor because my parents showed me there was more ways to be rich then having money and material things
@@wandarice9436yesss!
Really good story. When I was 21 I told my landlady that my brother had moved back to my mother's hometown.
"I used to go there to buy my wine!" Then she gave me directions to my pawpaw's house.
Thank you for sharing that my friend. Have a blessed day.
It was my great aunt Wortalee's husband, Uncle Morris who made whiskey. My aunt said that Papa never touched a drop of the stuff. When I told Big Momma, she said, "No, but he ran around with women!"
I loved this. My grandfather was a moonshiner. He raised his family while making it. Once his home was raided when the 7 kids were home, Grandfather made the kids get in bed, he put the jugs in bed between the kids, told the revenewers that all the kids had the measels and everyone was scared to death of the measels back then. So, they searched everywhere, just tore everything out of Grandfather's house, every drawer, just made a big mess but didn't go near the kids. My dad, before he married our mom, actually ran, or carried jugs of moonshine for our Grandfather. Once, he nearly got caught. Dad said he was just young and really scared, said he was carrying a glass jar of it, he was yelled at to stop but he just kept running and got away. It was just a way of life way back in the 20s and 30s the depression had happened, noone had any way to make much $ and there wasn't a lot of education or other ways of life other than figuring things out on your own. It was always fun to listen to the stories my Grandfather and my Dad told me about way back then. My Grandfather ended up serving in WW1. He also talked about serving and being in France but didn't want to talk much more about the war, kind of like other war veterans.
Thank you for sharing this story ❤️
I'm a single father of two daughters and I live in Appalachia. I can tell you this, Some of the traditions mentioned in this excellent story are still Alive and Well,here,in Appalachia 😉
preciate you Jed, stay safe out there
Very precious story, I come from a long line of moonshiners and damn proud of them, we feed our family anyway we can
Thank you so much!
What a great story. It takes you through the life of a true Appalachian family struggling to make ends meet. A daughters love for her Pa led her to protect him from what she knew was wrong. It turned into a funny joke on the revenue man. At end of the the day his honesty and hard work paid off and for his some what nosey daughter , a beautiful dress. No good deed goes unrewarded. I truly enjoyed this wonderful story. Thank you.
Beautifully written!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller thank you.
Great comment James. Took the words out of my mouth. Only much more eloquently. God Bless
@@johnjessey6955 thank you John. I'm blushing from your compliment. Remember there's only so many atta boys out there. With that being said I would like compliment you on your comments on this channel. Atta boy John. 😳🙄🤪👍🏻👍
@@jamesdeen3011 Thanks James. You have me chuckling. 😋
What awesome story a young girl saving her father,
Thank you Kay
Never doubt that the Good Lord acts most through the children. The things we see being done to them these days, will also cause Him to act on their behalf. Never doubt... but if you do, just wait a little while & you won't. Be blessed JD!
amen
Amen to that!! What these Democrats are doing to these children is pure evil, and the Good LORD will not be tolerating it much longer! When his wrath comes, it will affect us all though, because we haven't done enough to stop it. Wise up Americans! GOD gave us this land and the freedoms we enjoy, he will act accordingly to stop the evilness. GOD bless you all!!!
The Lord works in works in mysterious ways even if has use the hands of child ! Another good story !😇
amen
Maddie was like a lot of children, she KNEW her daddy. Kids know so much more than they get credit for. What a wonderful story that really pulled at my heart strings.
Thank you ma’am
Great story. Reminds me of my childhood growing up in the wilds of West Virginia.
The good ole days
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller yep. Many in my family were coal miners and I grew up in a coal mine community. Even then we music but two of the worst disasters occurred within 10 miles of my house, Monongah and Farmington No9. As many as 500 in those two blasts.
That is very sad. Hopefully none of your relatives were counted in those numbers.@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives
Spell every summer there what's my grandparents.. wouldn't take a million dollars for it. ❤❤
Spent.. pardon my spelling talk to text
Wow! Loved the story. The little girl loved her Pa more than pretty things. She knew he could get into bad trouble & took action to save him. God blessed the family. 😊
there's a powerful message in this story
Wonderful story! You are a Master Story Teller. Thank you.
thank you 🙏
One more time, you've brought tears to my eyes and a smile in my heart, to start this day. Thank you for spreading goodness and love, God bless.
Thank you Claudia
Same here! JD has a true and wonderful gift. As well as I suspect, a tremendous amount of stock in Kleenex! 🤭 God Bless
What a lovely story of pure love of a child and support of neighbors. Just good people living good lives. Thank you Sir for another sweet Saturday morning story.

Yes sir!
Thank you for another intense story. They always leave you glued to the screen. Can’t wait to hear more. Thank you JD
Thank you so much, my friend. Have a blessed day.
One of the most beautiful stories I've ever heard. Magalene Cahill -- that darling, courageous, brilliant and honest girl! A testament to the heart and bravery of Appalachian women!!! God bless!
Im so happy you enjoyed this story
We used to have all good neighbors on this mountain til the land predators from Florida bought about all of it and cut it up into small lots. My good neighbors have either moved off or died. I’ve had plenty of offers and threats but most of them leave me alone now. I like to target practice and I post some of the used ones on the edge of my property. I do a lot of target practicing. Wish things were like they used to be.
well said
Them land predators from Florida your talking about ain't Florida's, they are damn Yankees that came here to Florida and predatored on us & our land and families first. Hurt us old swampers & our folks bad, then they headed for yalls land & did the same thing. God bless & keep yall !!
Yeah, Appalachian people always have to fight. Great story, thank you.
thank you sir
Oh my goodness, JD, you've done it again! What a beautiful tale of family love and understanding. It has me in tears when reading about the precious bond between father and daughter. I would have loved that in my life. These surely are great people. Thank you very much from Ruth x
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Have a wonderful day, my friend.
That brought tears to my eyes ❤️

Happy Saturday!
Morning!
Great story!!
thank you Violet
These stories make me think of my father who grew up in the mountains of north Georgia in the 1930s. When I was a teen he took the family to the cabin he was raised in, which was barely standing..but still standing, and we spent the morning picking muscadine. His youngest brother was buried near by and he told the story of how his father left his pregnant mother and 4 children in this cabin to fend for themselves and when it came time for his mother to give birth there was no one to attend except his younger sisters. The baby died the day after he was born. My grandmother was so weak and depressed she put my father and his 3 siblings in an orphanage until she could get back on her feet. Eventually she married the man who was to be my grandfather and they took my dad and his siblings out of the orphanage and bought a farm in Arkansas. I still live in Arkansas.
❤️
I love this story! Keep up the great work. I was born and raised in the mountains of eastern ky and i love hearing these stories.
Thank you Dennis! Have a blessed day my friend
Thank you, JD for another wonderful story. You touch many hearts with the stories you bring us. I bet the second part of the story when he goes home, would be just if not more heartwarming. I wonder if there’s an accounting of that? And if not? I’m picturing one in my mind right now. A lot of tears and hugs and smiles. Thanks again JD. God Bless you richly my friend. jj
Thank you so much John, appreciate your kind words my friend
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller You are most welcome. Kind words are not hard to give to such a good person. Thanks, JD
What a fantastic story

Thank you so much!
Very good made my day. Thank You
thank you!
A wonderful story, JD. Thanks for telling it. Blessings...
Thank you @TennValleyGal !
I really enjoy these stories. My great grandpa owed & operated a sawmill on the east coast & he had big machinery all all types. Best years ever hanging out & doing work w. Teddy Noverca fall river ma. A great old timer. Your stories remind me of them years. T.y.
Thanks for sharing your memories
What a great story Pioneers lived hard and worked hard
Amen
I'm so thrilled to have found this podcast. Love the intro music so much. The stories give me a warm wholesome feeling so wonderful. I feel conflicted as I romanticize that I would have loved to live then but am aware it was an extremely hard life and perhaps I'm wrong but I think there wasn't much love shown as families had many many children, not because they loved kids but because more hands made lighter work. Thank you for your great narrating bringing these stories to life.
So glad to have you here!
What a wonderful story, JD! (I almost typed 'Amos'.) I just spent a week's vacation in St. Louis with a dear friend from long ago. When we were a lot younger, we didn't dwell that much on our recent ancestors' past. But now we got to talking about how *her* grandparents and gg's ran shine all the way from the Missouri boot heel up to the Canadian border - and on east across to Maine, where MY grandparents and gg's were doing pretty much the same. So now she's going to try to follow that bit of new info in her genealogy research in case she might find a connection between our two families. We've always been such fast friends and that would really put the icing on the cake. Maybe it's the patina of past generations, but I don't personally see a thing wrong with what people made a cash crop of back in those days when times were really so hard and a lot of people actually starved to death, especially during winter. They took great risks so we could have a better life today.
BTW, is there a date when this video goes to the general public? I really want to share it as far and wide as I can.
What a beautiful story Frosty, it’s amazing how many folks used to run shine, and the stories that go along with it. It’s always nice to catch up with life long friends too. I’m happy you liked this story, it will go public a week from tomorrow- next Saturday. Thanks so much for your support my friend.
Personally, the only thing "wrong" with what they did was that the government couldn't control/tax it! To prove my point, or "moral", concerned government is currently legalizing marijuana, and is using our TAX PAYER money to give mentally ill people free drug paraphernalia to assist them in their deadly drug addictions!
I LOVED this story!!! I would have loved to have grown up right there! At that time!!!
Thank you, Elizabeth. Hope you’re having a wonderful day.
Geat story JD! To my knowledge I don't have any moonshiners in my family history but the mention of the blacksmith shop made me think of my great grandfather who was a blacksmith at the tail end of the 1890s into the early 1900s. And his name was Will Phillips! This was in my home town of Russell, in Warren County of Pennsylvania. I doubt we're related JD, but you never know!
You never know for sure- I still haven’t uncovered the full mystery of my family’s past
Now this was almost a tear jerker, i was so happy for Amos and so glad his daughter did what she done. Praise The Good Lord Above.❤
amen!
That was very suspenseful! I’m so glad he got that windfall. Great voice and story JD! Thanx!
Thank you so much!
Everytime I think I have heard my favorite, you dupe me by one upping on the next.
This was fabulous. Told with deep knowledge of the people and the region.
A story I shall be sharing with many others... visit the share button. I could never do it even minimal justice, despite growing up in the Northern mountains and living in KY for 30 years...and I might have met one or two "blockaders". Maybe.
Becoming my favorite channel of any genre.
Those are mighty kind words mister, thank ye very much!
Beautiful story. Thank you.
Thank you Libby!
I loved the story. Great ending.

Many mountain family had to do what they could do to make ends meet. I knew many man who made corn back when I was a kid. I used to know which one sold good corn and which was bad. But what was ironic was the respect between a shiner and a revenuer. Love the story ❤ thank you for the history.
