My Dad and Mom's family are both from southern West Virginia. My Dad's family were Moonshiners since the early 1800's. My dad was born in 1920 and quit school in the 8th grade. He went to work in the coal mines with Grandpa and ran Grandpa's moonshine at night. Then he joined the Army and was placed in Patton's army. He saw things no one should ever see. He was not a great husband or father BUT I do have to respect his memory for what he fought for. My Momma was a true angel for putting up with him for over 30 years.

[@ltgreen6626]

My Grandfather told me that back in the 1930s, he would make an occasional trip from McDowell County wv. to the Johnson City Tennessee surrounding area for a moonshine run. The moonshiner would load his trunk and check the leaf springs to see if the car was setting level as he loaded the trunk. Moonshiner stopped loading and said thats it, no more. Grandad said he had money to buy more, and wanted the trunk loaded up. Moonshiner said, you will get caught, because the LEOs were trained to watch for low riding vehicles, that tells them you are hauling something in the trunk, and they will pull you over. Have to slip through the Blockade. Grandad said he and his buddy that went with him made it back, unloaded the moonshine in his garage, and went to work. Came home from work that evening, found his buddy passed out in the garage, next to the cases of moonshine. Grandad checked the moonshine to see if any of the quart sized mason canning jars were empty, all of the jars were filled with moonshine. He asked his buddy how he got drunk, he said he took one sip out of each mason jar, then put the lid back on each jar and put them all back in the case. But he passed out before he could get out of the garage.

Loved seeing the beautiful landscape. I'm from the south eastern Ohio Valley on the river nearby to Wayne National Forest. Most people think of Ohio as large cities and boring flat farmland which is the exact opposite of how I know it. I mean I have a cave and waterfall in my backyard. Southern Ohio is in the Holler Land of Appalachia and looks exactly like east Tennessee. It has a lot of tourism related to its recreation and beauty. My brother actually fell from the 50 foot cliff of Old Mans Cave and survived, while others tragically had not. I really do feel like a roughneck driving over and in between those rolling hills and losing all contact with society after living in Michigan and Indiana for most of my 20's lol. I've met people from both those states who regularly vacation in southern Ohio. I remember going to Columbus seemed like such a huge trip to me back when. There is so much history there, they made a 2019 movie called Dark Waters about the DuPont C8 poisoning I also experienced for over 20 years, they gave me $400 when I was 14 to give them blood and I may or may not get a settlement. It is also featured in the popular video game called Fallout 76. And of course is next to Point Pleasant which is home of the Mothman and famous for the Silver Bridge disaster, that also has a movie called the Mothman Prophecy, which is across the river from where I was born. The title of this video reminded me of how I'll never forget when I was a kid I almost stepped on a copperhead during a walk!

For sure! I feel like when people sum up Ohio they always forget about that southeastern part of the state! I live in VA and once a year drive up 77 to Youngstown to see my grandparents. I love crossing the Ohio river into Marietta and seeing the mountains slowly shrink into farmland. Ohio definitely has its share of valleys and hills, and is for sure in the Appalachians

This song is my daddy's side's song. Same history, except our road is panther Creek road. That's the one you want to use to get away fast.

Being from the UK, you probably know about the Pogues (RIP Shane McGowan). They are the backing band on Steve Earl’s Copperhead Road. I’d never been particularly interested in country music, but I was a huge Pogues fan at the time. Something resonated with me when I first heard that song… then I learned about the Pogues connection. What a magical and unexpected meeting of cultures… and yet, it seems so obvious.

Making moonshine was not all about drinking it...back in the day, that was the only Antiseptic poor folks had. It was also used in place of chloroform as an anesthetic.

[@heyokaempath5802]

And selling it gave folks money to get the things they could not make.

[@debbieboyd1295]

My grandfather was a miner and also made moonshine. Once, at about age 5, saw a mason jar of clear liquid sitting on the table, it was a hot dusty WV day, so I grabbed it and took a mighty slug…then choked, cried, gagged, and vomited up what I’d eaten that year…my dad pitched a huge bitch, loved me up, and went to find me a Coke, as the men all said there was no reason to tell mommy, then got a pocket full of coins for the store. Years later, in Cleveland, my uncle had a still in the basement, God help anyone that threw a glass jar away. Pot plants grew between the tomato plants…wild times, back in the mid ‘90’s….

[@jaydee809]

Most ignorant comment I think I have ever read to date on the topic! 🤯 Anybody that thinks you are on point… Needs to ask themselves this… Who in the hell would have taken such a risk producing such a product just for an antiseptic?? You do realize producing such a substance was punishable up to the point of long-term incarceration?!! So ask yourself again… It’s antiseptic?? I mean, I can clean up hairspray residue from my bathroom tiles if I use straight vodka. This clearly would kill y common germs… But come on… Nobody would risk their life nor their families life for even that…🙄🙄🙄

Just discovered your channel and subscribed. I have a fascination with Appalachia, and it's traditional music. I was raised in north central NJ, back in a day when it was still very rural, up in a high place and far back in the woods in an old stone house. We lived very primitively and mostly did without. Those woods were pretty scary at night but by day we roamed them far and wide. Though I left there when I was 11and came to the midwest there's something about the mountains and woods that never lets go of you. I like your presentation, going to watch the rest of your videos now. Take care and thanks. 😊

[@sharecroppersmule7361]

I also was born in NJ in what’s getting to be “back in the day”, spent a lot of time in the woods. Then moved to WV at the age of 12. WV became my transplanted hometown, family still there, we visit often. After college I moved to a Southern town in Fl. There is a difference between Southern & Appalachian. Both are great, although there are similarities/overlap, Appalachian is it’s own thing. “Montani Semper Liberi” Mountaineers are always Free!

[@meglange3595]

@@sharecroppersmule7361 Hey there!! Nice to hear from a fellow NJ woods person 😄. If I'd had a choice I'd sure have picked WV over MO, were we ended up. Now in IL. I've spent hours upon hours mulling over where I want to go to get out of here. I've studied most every area of the country. But there's something about the eastern hills with their woods and streams, the sun shining thru the trees, the sun sparkling on the leaves and everything with a certain glow, that beckons you back. I see it as vividly now as I did back then. The old stone house and barn are long gone but our piece of ground was set aside as a wild area so nothing will ever be built there. My siblings and I have made some pilgrimages back in to it over the years. After the road returned to woods we used some huge rocks that were nearby the house as landmarks. My brother carved his intials and date we left in a tree that he relocated and updated. I'd like to go back one day and just spend a whole day roaming around and immersed in it all. I don't know where I'll eventually wind up. I have a sister in TN and one in SC. I think about a high place somewhere with a good view. You never know where the next bend in the road will take you. That's the wonder and excitement of it. Best to you. 😊

I live in Arizona, but lived in Penna, too. Every state had its Copperhead Road LOL. My old granny used to talk about when she was young and government more sensible. She and a cousin own a speakeasy back in a small, hidden valley where she sold her brothers-in-law sour mash and rye whiskey, and went thru a few hundred gallons of real beer on Saturday nights, alone. Every week, a jug to the local captain of state troopers, and another to someone else, and she never had a problem. A great-uncle was teaching me how to use a still before I was 6. Every fall, we would take Dad's truck to abandoned farms and take all the fallen apples and pears we could. He gave a few gallons of apple jack to a miller to crush the apples and they went in Dad's oak barrels to ferment till near christmas. I never worried about cops, but then, we all knew you never talked to anyone about some things. Funny thing was, revenuers would check the old spring house on the mountain and never found out all the brewing and cooking was done a quarter mile away across the hollow. niio, walk in beauty
