Although I spent my younger years in Travis and Comal Counties, I always enjoyed visiting my Grand Parents here in Llano County. I have known Jim Moore for most of my life and have always admired him and his outlook on life. My family and I moved to Llano County for good in Dec of 1975 and in Feb of 1977 I started working for CTEC in Llano. That meant I passed by Jim's house on Hwy 71 about 6:30 every morning. I can't remember exactly what year but probably close to the mid 1990"s or so I was headed into Llano and the radiator on my truck blew the top off. I was just about to pass Jim's gate so I pulled over. I could see smoke coming out of his chimney so I knew he was awake. There were no cell phones back then so I walked over to his house and knocked on his door. He recognized me and invited me in. I told him what had happened and that I needed to use his telephone to call work and get someone to come get me. Jim said "Why don't you just take my truck. I'm not going anywhere." Although I did not take him up on his offer it made me realize just how important a person's reputation means. Jim is one of a kind. I can promise you that.
"Respect your elders".. As a child we were taught to hold a door open, or help carry groceries to their car, or whatever they needed. These days many will walk over the elderly because they don't move fast enough. A young person can learn so much from an older person if they just take time to listen.
My family started ranching in Montgomery County in the 1880's. Jim reminds me of my grandfather and the stories he could tell of growing up. Thanks for making this series as we are losing this generation of folks that helped build Texas into what it is today.
I'm sure none of the Moores remember me. My family and I moved to Llano in 1962. My grandparents lived in Kingsland close to Lake LBJ. As a young boy this area was just amazing. Everything a kid could dream of back in those days. Even back then the Moores were legends in their own time. Hard working people that everyone respected. Sure miss that little paradise
I pray every American politician would have to spend a DAY with this man, listening to his life's story, without saying a word. Then & only then will politicians understand the American people. Thank you SIR
I Love this town. I have been hunting there since 1979 on the same ranch that my Grandfather leased some time around 1930-35. We have had 5 generations of our children hunt on the ranch. We love our land owners and treat their ranch as if it were our own. We support he local business and have for years. We stay in plank wall cabin my Grandfather and his brothers built in the middle of the ranch back in the 30's. We have added electricity and some conveniences but preserved the original 2 rooms. There is almost 100 years of hunting stories written on the wall. It is my favorite place in the world to go to. I really enjoyed this History. Love the Hill Country, its people and its history.
My family leased a place close to the Enchanted Rock on Welgahausen rd in 1941.. As I read your post It resembles our family right down to the stories wrote on the wall..Thanks for the post..
This fella reminds me of the Pantalion Family of Martinsville. The Grandfather who passed in the late 1980s, was recorded on an old cassette tape telling stories of old. I had the pleasure of meeting this man as a child. Lasting impression on me for sure. I wonder if anyone has that tape at all? I do also recall that Texas Monthly magazine or something like that was around back in the early 1980s and they did a piece on him regarding seeing a ghost crossing the road while he was on a wagon going towards his ranch. I want to say it was on the front cover. I wish I would have paid more attention but I was only a child and had no way to video or anything like we do now. God bless the Pantalion Family. Like surrogate family to a poor young child like me that needed them desperately! Much love and thank y’all for making these wonderful videos!! They fill my heart ❤️
Unfortuneately this quality of man is seriously lacking this day and age...Was born in Austin and lived in Liberty Hill till 1954 when my family moved to Louisiana...A number of my folks worked onthe Buckanan Dam and 4 of the other dams on the Colorado...Heard some really wild stories of the folks back then...Was a generation of people where a piece of paper with names on it was useless---but a handshake and a man's work was as sacred as a passage from the Bible..Good folks--SALT OF THE EARTH
A powerful "true life". What just amazes me is he is ON-GOING ATTITUDE OF APPRECIATION...regardless of the difficulties he went through in his life. And this man went through many. He reminds me of my own father. Younger people learn from this and model - if you want an authentic life be appreciative of your elders, your country and your life. This is true American Spirit at it's finest. Thank you for sharing this amazing video.
God bless you and your Family. Your stories remind me so much of my Mom and Dad, Uncles. Dad was born in 1899. Mom inv1914. I was the youngest of their children. I saw the late 50s on. Amazing change,,,from horse's to car's,,,open land to fences. What a trial, and blessing, to live in the generations that witnessed this time in the U.S. Looking prity sad now days but keep faith.
This generation. The very cornerstone of what made us what we are. Sadly- later generations have no idea about this type of work ethic, mentality or attitude to make things work.
Thanx for sharing this ..have some dear friends that moved here and had several good visits myself this town and the area will grow on you deeply and this man is just a perfect example of all the good folks I have met from the cowboy church to the feed store .
Like talking with my 100 year old grandmother back around 2000. She was the first homecoming queen at the University of Arkansas and a Phi Mu, had the pleasure of sending our duaghter their where she also became a Phi Mu, the stories she would tell and they way she spoke was very similar to Jim...I am sorry about that, forgot my manners.....very similar to Mr. Moore. Look forward to some more especially as a native Texan
My last name is Moore, and my father side of the family is from Llano County, my grandmother maiden name was Long. They were the rancher Moore's not the banker. We may be related.
The finest people you'll ever meet & My best Deer/Turkey Lease was in Llano, Tx.. It seemed like I was driving a forever down an old Shell Road dodging deer just to get to the Bunk House. It's only a 4hr drive for me from S of Houston. I love that Country over there & wish I could find a home to rent and work some land up there

@@melissatharp7304 it is a magical place to our family and sacred ground. Ranch Road 2323.
I’ve always liked to listen to the “old folks” storytelling. Every day gets closer to me being the old man telling them. Kinda bittersweet
I enjoy listening to these stories. It reminded me of my Great Uncles!

Very cool video ... I always like to hear the history from back then . My mom is 89 and she tells me about the area growing up.
True American men right here how I wish I could raise my kids in this life

That is awesome thank y’all for sharing
Thank you for this wonderful video 👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸
This was awesome, don’t stop sharing these videos! 🙌🙌
Appreciate hearin the way it was.
This generation. The very cornerstone of what made us what we are. Sadly- later generations have no idea about this type of work ethic, mentality or attitude to make things work.
That’s why America is doomed.
Thank you Jim for sharing.
Love listening to great men like Mr Moore My grand pop was like him
Great video…Reminds me of my grandpa. Keep ‘‘em coming please! 👌

@Hello Mike how are you doing?
Awesome video! Takes me back
So very cool!
Yes sir..
They don't make them like that anymore sad for America
Awh. What a great family. Just like ours. Same thing. 15 children
Love my hometown
I know Mr. Moore and he is quite interesting!
Where can I see the full video not just the short clips?
Dirt road all the way to Austin hard for a youngster like me to imagine...
Came across this trying to find out the history of my papos family he’s a Buchanan though thought this would help
Mr. Moore probably invented " pig in a blanket " and doesn't even , know it.
Dude.. you might be on to something 🤔 👀
I’m always low key jealous of how simply their generation lived. Bc probably most of their generation lived a honest and clean life off of their land.
And that’s TEXAS!
Five generations in Llano..That is just sad
Do you know any Lilley’s?
Odd question are those inmate records real? I see my last name on there I want to look it up
Why did you make him take his seeing glasses off?
Thank you for sharing your life. GOD DOES NOT BUILD MEN LIKE THAT ANYMORE.
