Thank you so much for putting this amazing storytelling video together! I love the stories of Appalachia in that area. My daddy's (who died 2 yrs ago at 93) family grew up in the park b4 it became a park, up around Pittman Center. And my mom, still alive & well at 90, grew up on Wears Valley Rd. Her Papa & Granny Wear owned the 100 acres that went up the mountain, which is now Wear Farm City Park. I'm 51. When I was a little girl, we used to walk from my Granny & Papa McCall's house, down Wears Valley Rd (which was almost all farmland then), to Granny & Pappa Wear's old homeplace & I would swing on their porch swing. I've been sad over the past 20 years to see so much of it torn down & "touristicized". But my Uncle Ronnie & Aunt Sue's old rustic cabin is right in the center of the entrance of one of the newer resorts on Wears Valley. And one of my cousins still lives in it. Also, my 5th Great Grandpa Samuel Wear was one of the early settlers in that area. He signed the Tennessee Constitution. Anyway, I love all the history of our area. Thank you for this information & I look forward to watching more of your videos.

We parked on loop road at one of the small parking places and walked into the field and sat around under a big oak tree and listened to Mom and Dad tell about their wedding. Mom was 16 years old, so they went from Tennessee to Spartanburg and got married. They shared 57 years together till Dad passed away. By the way, he was a Baptist preacher, Horace Higgins. Their wedding anniversary was on Nov. the 1st.

Your very welcome my friend.

Very interesting stories. My great grandfather was a circuit riding preacher back in the early 1900s, Rev George Wolfe who lived in Western N.C have the feeling he may have traveled the Cades Cove area he preached in that area. He died in 1939.

Thank you friend. Your very welcome.

Interesting… thank you. We actually met Kermit McCaughron once. He was out on his tractor in the garden behind the Dan Lawson home. He got down off his tractor and came over to talk to us. Was fun meeting him. 😊

Awesome my friend. Thank you so much. God bless you.

Thank you so much for these stories. There is so much forgotten history in places where nobody lives today, and its' so important to remember. It's who we are if we only took the time to realize it. I'll be telling a story about where my mother grew up in a webinar tomorrow, a place that has as much history as what you've given here. I'll tell it in Scottish Gaelic with English translation. As I watch your videos, Appalachia and Cape Breton seem to be the same place to me. Dia beannaich. ( God bless. )

What’s a webinar? I know what we now call a webinar, but I’m wondering what it was when your mother grew up in it - was it a kind of a valley or something?

Thank you Mister Donnie & Mister John, The stories & memories are lost to time, thanks for keeping them alive. Cades Cove is a little spot that God took special care to create. We always try to visit yearly, matter of fact we were just there when the snow and freezing temps hit. It was just breathtaking, Seeing the beauty of the light snow on the cedars, oaks & rolling hills & mountains. My grandpa was born in TN. Which is why I love the overhauls! My Dad & Grandfather's favorite clothing attire❤❤ God Bless you both.

That's awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome. God bless you.

Donnie, I truly enjoy your videos. I love just sitting back and letting you transport us back in time to see how our ancestors lived. I got alittle emotional at the Boring cemetery. Just knowing precious children are laying there awaiting the first ressurection of Jesus. You have a true, humble Christian spirit that the whole world needs.
