People of the Cumberland Revisited From 1937. Intended to be a documentary but it is a blend of recreated scenes and real life footage.

Love your content always so interesting love these old movies. I am very interested in history especially our area. This was the life of our grandparents. They were very brave and strong. My grandfather told me he worked as a caddy for a golf club in abingdon, before the modern ones, for $2 a day. If he was lucky. It was where the water tower is In abingdon above valley street.

The Cumberland Plateau is underrated place to visit. Rugby and Jamestown have interesting history. Dunlap has amazing views. Great hiking. Fall Creek Falls. Big time area for nurseries. Great golf in Crossville. Lots to discover.

We got rained out of going to Rugby last year, very disappointing

I have thorough ly enjoyed all of your recent videos especially the one about mountain music. What an awesome documentary!! Gosh! This documentary reminds me of coal mining in WV. If you examine photographs of early coal mining in WV, it so similar, at first, I thought it was my native State. I absolutely loved this old documentary. Thank you so very much. By the way, did you receive your Valentine box? What is the link to purchasing your new book?

Sad film but very educational, I’m sorry but I have never heard of the Cumberland and where it is. I had to look it up. I’m a west coast girl so I’m pretty ignorant about the south but I’m learning.❤️ love you guys.

Wasn’t sure where you were going with that video. The video mention 1937. Well I was born in 1948, just after World War II. We kinda lives that way. We lived up the hollar in W Va. we had to plant our own food and milk the cows twice a day. I went to school in a 3 room school. One teacher taught 1st 2nd and 3rd grades and one teacher taught 4th 5th and 6th grade and the principal taught 7th and 8th grade. We got one pair of shoes when the school started. I actually walked down the hollar bare foot in the snow to catch the school bus. Times were tuff back then but we survived.

"Propaganda"?? Boy HOWDY! Notice the accents of every "local's" voice. You'd have to watch CNN or MSLSD to get a more skewed version of anything. "Workers of the World Unite" anyone???

It is great to see you guys and know that you are well and okay. But this video is depressing. People had it so hard back in those days. Nothing came easy for them. I'll never understand why they just didn't move North. Sorry, but they should have. Thumbs up to your video.

You need to learn about the Scots - Irish culture of the South of those times. It was still very much ingrained in them. They were homebodies, instinctively so. To people like that, home was home, and you just never left it. Some did. I think it was Bobby Bare who had the song, "Detroit City" and he may also have recorded "500 Miles from Home," I'm not sure. But those songs portray very well how rooted to their native land those people were. They had a lot in common with native Americans in that regard.

I guess you are right. I will save this video and watch it when I get time. Yes, Bobby Bear did record both of those songs. Thank you for replying to my post. I will look forward to your next video. Stay well & safe.@@bobtaylor170
