A woman with "come hither eyes" has gotten in a lot of trouble in the past. Now at my age, come hither eyes means that dinner is ready. Hahaha. Or she has a job for me to do. Great story JD. Happy Independence day!!
Great story, again, JD! Shows what can happen when a young lady is way over zealous of her looks. Batting those baby blues doesn't always work and there will be consequences somewhere down the road. It's a shame that Mattie's daughter was lost in time, but may she be united with her Mama in the afterlife. Thanks❤
New listener/watcher and love all your videos! Your voice is great but softer and the music breaks are often way louder than your voice so I have to turn the volime down and then turn it back up when you begin speaking. Otherwise sound is great. Thank you for all the hard work!
I only came across your channel just recently, my wife passed away on Memorial day, I want nothing from you, just wanted to let you know that it gives me great comfort to lay in bed and listen to your stories especially after the lights go down, absolutely love your content keep up the great work, Tim from Virginia
Thank you, Tim. I’m sorry about your wife and I’m glad to hear these stories. Give you a bit of reprieve. Thank you for commenting. God bless you my friend. Glad to have you here.
My great papaw Feathers would tell us kids stories about his youth and I can honestly say that when I listen to your stories it reminds me so much of him !!! You are truly gifted J .D !!!! Thank you for another trip back in time!!!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller mine to ,he lived to be 97 years old ,I am so grateful that I got to know him and one of the stories I remember him telling was when he was a coalminer he said they would use birds as a warning system which I found so fascinating!!! About 2 years before he passed he still had a garden and his beloved dogs and he worked myself and my brother until we were exhausted and I mean that wonderful old man kept right on working and talking about how us kids had got "cityfied " and in his day you only stopped to eat and sleep !!! Gosh I would love to go back to those days with him ,!! Thank you J.D for doing these amazing videos for all of us !!
love this J. D, thanks. i have 30 Liters of wash, 50 liters of corn low wines and enough yeast and sugar for 4 or 5 times that much, i'll start running the stills in a couple of weeks. you have to let it sit for longer as its colder down here in new zeappalachia, thanks friend, great telling of stories, as is usual.

It always surprises me how gruesome people are, making a picnic to go a hanging. I guess with no tv, no phone, no nothing I assume it was entertaining to some. Creepy thank you JD for another amazing story 🙏 ❤🍁
Society was much different. Right was right and wrong was wrong. Today, that is totally bassackwards. Think about the impression that a hanging would have on a kid. "If you become a criminal, this is how you'll end." Today's society could probably use a little "Tough Love." "Wow! That was a heck of a thump. Pass me some more of that chicken."
JD, I have no doubt your book is amazing. But for me, I love your voice when you tell your stories. It just grabs me and I'm in for another good adventure. Thank you.
Good story but it's a shame we don't know what happened to Maddie's daughter. Ya know JD we don't know how she got pregnant but even back then getting pregnant by rape was the woman's shame. I hope you can get the cities archivist/historical society to look for more info it would make for another story. 🙂
I appreciate the fact you referred to the war as "The War Between the States" rather than otherwise. Once again, you've brought another piece of history to us and, just wanna say again, thank you, Brother!!
Thanks for that- some folks don’t appreciate it when I refer to that war as such- but I do so much research in newspapers from the 1800s, it was very very common to refer to it as such
Cool stories. My family is from the hills of Kentucky who ended up moving to NC after my dads mother died. Him and his brother hunted and fished and could shoot like you wouldn't believe.
Many thanks, JD . Your stories are always interesting and full of past history , they would be completely forgotten if it wasn't for story tellers like you . God bless.
I haven't heard either of those terms either. My wife volunteers in a women's prison ministry here in Alaska, and some of the women she works with could relate to this.
And they say in that laundromat you can put $5 worth of quarters in the dryer and your clothes never get dry but if you listen really hard you can hear a woman laughing. 😂
Now THIS is a complete AND intriguing story. You did what most story tellers don't do-----bring it up-to-date, complete with location/development. Nice job.
I am from Canada, and since I found your channel last year I am amazed at the culture and stories you tell. I would love to have grown up there. To see those beautiful big trees and tree houses ! you are the # 1 story teller. It takes a special talent to tell and keep your audience enthralled with the story. I wait every day to hear a new one. Planning on buying your book so I can support you and read at bedtime these wonderful stories. Thank you so very much for your talented stories and sharing them with the world. Much love and appreciation 🙏🌈❤️
What an excellent story to get a person thinking, reminiscing about things in the past. Listening to this story captivates my thinking and leaves me with a lot of unanswered thoughts @ keep them coming, excellent job narrating as usual!
Wish my BFF was still alive so he could hear this story who he was more than likely a relative/ descendent of this man. He was a Kilgore and had moved to Knoxville from that area.
I can trace my ma’s kin back to the 1700’s in the northeast corner of Tennessee which today is northwest North Carolina. Still have kin there, some cousins back in a holler that I have never met. Grandpa was a lumberman and of course had a still. My uncles would run the moonshine up to where we lived up north.
The book is my storytelling, just without video, many folks tell me that they hear my voice in their head as they read them! Hope your having a blessed day Debbie
Loved that you showed pictures of what became of Matties home. I often wonder how something so horrible can happen, and we simply bulldoze over it, and forget about it. It's what makes me grateful to you, JD. I am of the firm belief, we should honor the past, by remembering, but how can we remember, if we bulldoze and bury? We have you, thank the Lord!
I wondr how many other places are built on top of someone's grave. It is very interesting that two businesses shut down ... Absolutely fascinating story well done.
I’m sure the entire planet is a graveyard, I just ran across an old property map from the 1800s and I traced it until today along with building permits, and that’s how I tracked it
Sir, you should look into the case of Mary Madeline Pitts. She was killed in the 1920s in my hometown of greenup KY. Her father and his female " housekeeper" were the culprits. She suffered horrible, nonstop torture. She was only 3 years old. It's àn awful story
This is a great study. My family (Asher) has stated that we have Melungeon blood. I am wanting to have my DNA done but not sure which company is the best...I really enjoy your channel and love the music too.
Thanks so much for that and especially the comment about the music. I’m a lifelong musician and I do my best to focus on the music as much as I do video production.
Mattie wasn't humble, considerate, kind, or moral. She learned to use her beauty to get what she wanted. However, beauty doesn't last forever. Lewis was a man who could not take "NO" for an answer. He wasn't humble, considerate, kind, or moral. Two wrongs don't make a right. Mattie's little girl may have gotten what she needed. A new name, a safe home, and education, and someone to lead her through the hard parts of growing up. It would be hard to forget seeing your mother murdered.
Great story about my home town. I had never heard about it but do remember the Dutch Inn and vaguely remember hearing about it being haunted. Thanks for sharing it.
Probably a board fence? Yeah they should have put up a 12 ft chain link instead! Be nice to buy a t-shirt that says saw a hangin in Hendersonville and all I got to show for it is this lousy t-shirt
Ol’ Lewis was a cold blooded killer. It’s terrible that her daughter had to see her mama murdered. At least she saw who did it. He gave good advice, crime, especially murder doesn’t pay. What gets me about those days is, how and why would anyone want to take their children to watch a man hang. And even as an adult woman, would want to see that either? It’s a mystery that me??? Great story JD, hope one day you’ll find the records of the trial. 👍
Thank you so much, Denise. Lots of good things in your comments there and if I ever get up that way and have some time on my hands, I will look into her daughters history. Have a blessed day, my friend.
Man this channel is awesome! I love these stories about places near where I live here in Burke County NC and other towns along the Appalachian Mountains! Gonna share your stories on Facebook!
Thank you for sharing these stories. That is the number one way to support this channel and it really really helps me out. I appreciate you. Hope you’re having a great Saturday.
I guess leaving a man on foot without his horse could be life or death to the owner so same consideration was given to thieves, they didn't do it twice,traject and interesting story.
Another great story, JD! This might be gruesome and out of line, but sometimes I wonder if making kids watch public executions would keep them from becoming as violent as they are today. It's a subject for debate I suppose.
Good stuff bud, I'd be curious how much you could find out about my neck of the woods, if theres any stories still out there I've always wondered. Keep up the good work and god bless from ole Carolina.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I really wish I did, truth is, I know very little about the history of my area. I love the history of the 1800s the most and I know it goes back a good ways, because we have several old homestead foundations and chimneys around, left to rot and have been forgotten. A buddy of mine has even found civil war bullets here and I've found graves marked with a simple rock in the woods in places. I know some of those date back to atleast the civil war because I've known people that had them dated and even searched to make sure no remains were still there. Some of the people that had them searched were buildin houses back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
I am a life long historian and have a doctorate degree in research. I spent countless hours digging thru records that have been nearly lost to time to breathe life into these forgotten stories.
I remembered this today and thought you might like to hear it. 3 fellers was sitting in the Dallas to catch flights to their respective homes and got to talking sports. Well, the man from Oregon went on about the Ducks. Then the feller from Connecticut went on about NCAA. The Gentleman from West Virginia, being somewhat prideful, spoke up about the Mountaineers winning the National Rifle Target Shooting Competition. The other two just looked at each other and smirked. This sort of got under the skin of the Mountain William. So after a minute's thought he said; "Alright we'll give them Huskies 5 basketballs, and the Ducks 11 footballs. Then we'll give the Eers 10 Rifles and see who wins.
Went to sime box socials years ago , but you never knew who's box you were bidding on until the end of the auction. Then you took the box you bought, and sat down and the woman who's box it was would join you Lots of times a 70 year old Batchelor would have the box of a teen girl , or a young guy would think he was buying the box of his secret crush , and it turned out it was from a married woman and everyone would rib him
This is very interesting! Crazy to discover this all happened down the street from my house. One revision suggestion at the end: that laundromat depicted is not in the same location as was the Dutch Inn/Eckard, but rather on the opposite side of 25 (Asheville Hwy). The Dutch Inn/Eckard property is a plasma donation center now called KEDPLASMA.

Funny how things turn out ain't it. Good story.
It sure is Elizabeth. Thank you so much for commenting. I hope you’re having a great Saturday.

Watching from Southern Idaho
Hello there!
Another awesome story . Thank you …
Thank you so much Mousetrap!
Great narration! Where do you get all these stories? Is there more information on these stories that we can learn about?
I am a life long historian and have a doctorate degree in research. I spent countless hours digging thru records that have been nearly lost to time to breathe life into these forgotten stories.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Thank you for keeping history alive.
I remembered this today and thought you might like to hear it.
3 fellers was sitting in the Dallas to catch flights to their respective homes and got to talking sports.
Well, the man from Oregon went on about the Ducks. Then the feller from Connecticut went on about NCAA. The Gentleman from West Virginia, being somewhat prideful, spoke up about the Mountaineers winning the National Rifle Target Shooting Competition.
The other two just looked at each other and smirked. This sort of got under the skin of the Mountain William.
So after a minute's thought he said; "Alright we'll give them Huskies 5 basketballs, and the Ducks 11 footballs.
Then we'll give the Eers 10 Rifles and see who wins.
Good morning JD
A horse thief is one thing, but I have to deal with tin horn thieves that are family members personally that is the worst.💔🤦🏻♀️
😮😮😮
Thank you sir for sharing this story with us. God bless you and your whole family..🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, John. Have a blessed weekend, brother.
Went to sime box socials years ago , but you never knew who's box you were bidding on until the end of the auction. Then you took the box you bought, and sat down and the woman who's box it was would join you
Lots of times a 70 year old Batchelor would have the box of a teen girl , or a young guy would think he was buying the box of his secret crush , and it turned out it was from a married woman and everyone would rib him
Great story and social history
Thank you James!
This is very interesting! Crazy to discover this all happened down the street from my house. One revision suggestion at the end: that laundromat depicted is not in the same location as was the Dutch Inn/Eckard, but rather on the opposite side of 25 (Asheville Hwy). The Dutch Inn/Eckard property is a plasma donation center now called KEDPLASMA.
Thanks for that!
they started harvesting

The oldest photo I have of one of my ancestors, Jane Taylor...was taken in Campton, KY...1870s....my great-great grandmother...
Wow, that’s an old photo
The story was exciting until he shot and killed Marty Henderson.
Great story... I love that her daughter was able to identify him... and I wonder if he's haunting someone's house in the subdivision 👻
Have a wonderful Independence day! 🇺🇸
I thought the same thing I bet he is haunting something
