As a child of Appalachian Virginia, it makes me happy to see you cover this. There was a time when I shunned my mountain roots, but over the years I've come to my senses and have found many reasons to love my home land and respect my heritage.

Booneville, Ky (formerly "Moore's Station") was settled by one of my great-grandfathers, Elias Moore. It was named Booneville for Daniel Boone and his family, also ancestors.

Robert, please consider producing a video exploring the "Melungeons" of the Appalachian region. My last name is Mullins, born and raised in southeast Kentucky (Harlan), and I am aware of the connection between the black haired, blue-eyed, dark skinned people referred to as Melungeon and the Mullins family. Other Appalachian topics I would enjoy seeing you explore are the mountain folk given the title of the "Quadrule" Indians, as well as the ancient Mound Builders of the region. Much, much more could be studied in regards to this region. Thank you for your excellent work!

This is my lineage. My grandfather was a moonshiner; my whole family were musicians taught by ear. My two sons played the violin- by ear and trained. We would gather under the stars eating and playing music. Christianity had set it's shame on dancing and drinking, so drinking was done discretely. When the inebriated couldn't hold their spirit back any longer, dancing would break out. I miss your narration:)

Excellent video, thank you, Dr. Sepehr. I bought land and a small farm home in Appalachia (NW North Carolina) in 2014. Although absolutely beautiful, it was so inexpensive, that I agreed to a 14 month mortgage and paid it off in said time. Upon paying the final payment to the elderly lady in person, she said she loved me, and that her family didn't believe I'd make good on the agreement. Believe it or not, I bought the property from the Boone family, and to boot, I bought it as is and we didn't use banks, which saved all of us money. The small town I live in is dry, as the sale of alcohol is illegal, but the moonshiners still produce it. It's quite understandable that they don't want competition from the big box liquor stores, etc. The people I've met up here have a great work ethic and the biggest hearts ever. I've been invited to and have visited many churches. The only thing that disappoints me about having relocated here is that 9 out of the 10 churches preach dispensationalism. Unfortunately, John Nelson Darby, Clarence Larkin and Cyrus I. Schofield's dispensation and pro-zionist stance has taken deep root here. Schofield Reference Bibles are everywhere and it's not uncommon to see John Hagee's books lying around. Regardless, it's an absolutely wonderful place to grow roots and settle down.

for years we have endured ridicule and scorn from Hollywood about our culture. we have seen our children shamed over the way we speak, think, and way of doing things. our children no longer want to learn of their origins due to the shame; I fear we are losing our culture and in doing so we lose a part of America. poverty is a way of life; any economic strides are reserved for urban areas and taxes pave the roads in Richmond. there is an epidemic of opioid addiction in our area that results from poverty and hopelessness. we still have those who come to this region and try to take what little we have in the form of taxation. we still just want to be left alone to live our lives without the interference of government or those who consider us ignorant and uneducated. thank you for this documentary and the respect in which it was presented. southwestern Virginia resident

I’m a direct descendent of Scot-Irish settlers who lived and are still living in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia. For the most part this is well done. Rather generalized but fairly accurate to what I know and have seen.

Thank you I'm proudly from Appalachia it's rare that we are shown in a truthful way we are a proud independent resourceful people that take care of one another

Thank you for this great video! My father's side settled in the s.e., Appalachian area. Thank you.

I’m a Scotsman King James the 1st of England was also King James the 6th of Scotland in 1603 he became king of England as well uniting the crowns of Scotland and England and they weren’t rebellious Scots they were Scottish and English border families that were still raiding one another on the west middle and eastern marches the best book on this is called the steel bonnets by George McDonald Fraser, both Scots and English migrated to Ulster but the majority were Scots Presbyterians who didn’t get on with the native Irish catholic’s which is still seen to this day in Ulster. Us Scots are a stubborn quick tempered lot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A movie called "The Journey of August King" does a masterful job of portraying the transition of the accent of the language of Appalachia from the Old World to what came to be known as a Southern accent. I don't know how the director and production staff got the actors to do this, but it was brilliant and was a fascinating experience to actually hear that transition taking place.

Thank you for this Robert!!

Greetings from West Virginia. Always enjoy your videos Robert. Keep up the good work.

Hi Robert - the clog dancing is more akin to the northern England clog dancing of the industrial revolution era and after that it is the Celtic nation style of dance which again was booted rather than clogged - the Appalachian mountains had a hard core of northern English folk, yorkshiremen and their ilk, miners and farmers, as well as Cornish miners who were always in demand in mountainous areas of the americas, north central and south. The north west of England has strong ties with Ireland as the north and north east, Yorkshire up through Northumberland, had and has with the Scots. Clog dancing isnt a specifically northern English theme but its is the heartland of that style of dance. That journey from northern England to North America and beyond can be seen in some of the North American ‘outlaws’ and ‘sherfiffs’ that later rose to fame - they were usually of northern English stock - wild bill hickock (not sure on the spelling) was I believe a Yorkshireman. As a northern English person (Yorkshireman) it does seem that we regularly get left out of history - for instance Rorkes Drift wasn’t the welsh but it made for a good movie script, and various expeditions and explorations over the centuries have been by men and women of Northumberland and the north but they seem to get homogenised into the south east English thing - we all seem to come from London and there are 62million of us in the UK - big city. Thought you might be interested you can still see that sort of dancing in northern folk festivals and various pubs across the north especially close to the old canal systems.

What a wonderful video! A lot of people don't realize the Appalachian culture extends into Arkansas and Oklahoma through the Ouchita mountains...I grew up with that mountain music.

I live up here. It was a good example. Some OM men were from VA and NC. They met here and grouped together to head south. Cleavland used a big horn on the mountain I live on the side of to call up locals heard for many miles. As far as Blowing Rock. They hung Tory loyalists here. Moonshine was big here. I know personally a lot of the bigger families that were in it. We have two legal distilleries in town our favorite local Moonshine style is apple pie. Jr Johnson come out of this area from moonshine. Clan wars were sadly common especially during the civil war due to people on both sides here. Some good books were written by Horace Kephart about the region just south of here. Interesting man. I had a brother to an ancestors that was a travelling separatist preacher in the old days over in KY. We have an annual Bluegrass, folk, American and blues festival here. It is awesome.
