The Appalachians Part 4

[@leojanuszewski1019]

Love Appalachian lore & stories. And as one who appreciates fine whiskey, i am indebted to the Scots-Irish for Irish whiskey, scotch, & bourbon.

[@ruthranieri9268]

I loved all 4 series. Living here now over 10 years helps me understand where I am living.

[@GooglFascists]

Thank You for this! Far as family tradition recalls this series is true to life. My people settled in Western Virginia in 1634. The Cherokees were a great, kind race of Native Americans, (too kind), and my people would have never thought of harming one - matter of fact they married some of 'em. I am native West Virginian and especially appreciate the history of Gospel music and Church among the mountain people. My great- grandfather was a "circuit riding preacher" over 100 years ago.

[@gcanaday1]

The first recorded birth for us in North America was 1631, so right in there.

[@bpeters5958]

my family came up to canada at the turn of the century. from martha,kentucky to saskatchewan. their blood still stirs my soul two generations later. never will i let my children forget their proud heritage!

[@johndunn8274]

I'll soon be married to a beautiful girl from Martha

[@lonnieclemens8028]

I'm impressed by this series on the Appalachians.

[@tomkehl9632]

Nice to hear of what happened before it was changed in the "new books",,

[@nestaabbott2733]

Enjoy these Appalachian stories!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@dannysgirl1549]

There is something mystical about the mountains in Appalachia. I love visiting my husband’s family that still live there. It seems like the mountains embrace you like your mother...safe and secure. I never get tired of being in that embrace.

[@beachlover54]

The name of the song is "I'm working on a building" sung by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys...Bluegrass Gospel Music

[@mariusdrako]

The cradle of the most beautiful music in this world

[@johndunn8274]

I'm Scots/Irish and Cherokee. I lived in East Tennessee for 45 years and Eastern KY for the last 5. This documentary portrays it very romanticly, but truth be told East TN is turning into a giant shopping center and subdivision. I moved North to KY/WV border to find a semblance of the mountain life that still exists. These mountains and these people are parts of my heart,mind,and soul. I'm proud of my hillbilly heritage and sad to see it disappearing.

[@deannacousin2339]

Thank you for letting me know where to move so I can experience life more like it was when my dear Mother lived in VA!

[@monicacall7532]

My husband’s great great great grandparents were among the very first people to settle in the mountains of northwestern NC. It’s such a beautiful place where they settled. I was first exposed to Mountain Music when I was 13. It was love at first listen.

[@robinrodriguez480]

Excellent series on the Appalachians !!very enlightening

[@jamesmillard1086]

All of this brings me to tears. Maybe one day before im too old, I can meet these Wonderful people

[@lorrirush9011]

My family comes from these mountains of East Tennesee. And as a kid, I could tell what part people came from by the dialect they talked. Now everything has changed. Between tourism and new technology, the areas have changed forever, again. I hope they keep making these videos to preserve the history of what used to be.

[@stevendeatley4878]

a man told me once after I had plowed a huge field up to plant corn that the good thing about rocky soil was that you could never wear the ground out, and I reckon he was right we always got a good crop of corn in that field

[@robertrousseau6920]

Steven DeAtley same holds true in NewHampshire , Vermont, and Maine ! The rocky hills that tumble all the way down to the sea are in most instances covered with as much granite as there is tillable soil

[@lindafields4613]

We always called this type of singing as lined out and when attending church with my mother and her family even in the 1960's singing this way. I have also gotten to attend services at an Old Regular Baptist Church. Even the sermon was sung and it was beautiful.

[@heyokaempath5802]

Truly loving these videos. Thank you so much for sharing. I ❤

[@RJCooper2]

A beautiful compilation combined from history and the positive spiritual outlook that emerged from these free and independent people, which helped characterized a much broader swath of the United States than its own geographical area, because of the strength and success of their individual faith expression. And, in all actuality, that's the only way faith in our Creator can flourish.

[@deannacousin2339]

Thank you for all these videos! Helps me learn about my Scots-Irish background

[@Seneca_creek]

Coming from Norway, and having no relationship to the Appalachian mountains, I still find the territory, landscape and history fascinating. Would love to visit some time. Religion though is very alien to me, and what for me seem like extreme variants seen in this video is unsettling. Love the music tho. Newer artists like Tyler Childers are great.

[@shomamatie]

hopefully one day you will visit and feel god there

[@Kitiwake]

You come from Norway... They came from Ireland

[@Sean-jc6cu]

My mom's people...my Dad's were Irish Catholics from Boston area

[@galicsmile]

All my life I've had a strange attraction for Appalachia. My family, as far as I've found, has no history there. Beautiful place. Beautiful people.

[@melodyjones5305]

My granny grew up in Kentucky in 1908 until her Daddy married her off at 16 it was feared she'd be an old maid.I grew up in Indiana an South Caroliina.I totally understand the whole way of life ,God bless them all.

[@mushashi8]

Scotch is the drink Scots are the people who make that drink.

[@gbro8822]

Wow, outstanding. Thank you from northern Indiana.

[@kenycharles8600]

Thank you for putting this out there.

[@beverleylevy843]

Really enjoyed this series. Thank you.

[@lindafields4613]

This type of singing is most certainly not country but it is clearly bluegrass and can be heard where ever there is a festival.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Bluegrass Gospel is U.S.A.s version of the Templar Gregorian Chants. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpCXiIqcbrKHb9U I am VERY GLAD that Bluegrass and Gospel is more up-beat and fun to dance around to ! :-)

[@lindafields4613]

I have always loved and enjoyed listening to Loyal Jones.

[@michaeldean9338]

Very nice series. Thanks so much :)

[@MrDan1896]

This is a better way of life. Im tired of this modern life. I would love to be apart of appalacha life. Simpler is better.

[@bosse641]

Hope to visit the mystical and beautiful land one day.

[@janehylton100]

BECAUSE THATS WHAT THESE MOUNTAINS ARE ABOUT. THIS IS GODS COUNTRY.

Amazing Grace.

[@2rybread]

My ancestry goes back to who they called the melungeons who are Irish sharecroppers in the Tennessee area

[@tonynorris1250]

My great grandfather was named Caleb Bart Blagg and came from the Tennessee border country and I wish I could find our kin.

[@michaelharvey5138]

Brilliant documentary!!

[@Nethanel773]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@gr1mrea9er82]

The Native Americans also had large religious meetings... before they were exterminated....

[@north40honeybees35]

Excellent!

[@andyandcallie]

Give me city life any day BUT have a house in mountains! Make lots of money in the city and then retire to nature. That's my plan. :)

No sound.

[@zelphx]

I hope this was recorded a LOOOONG time ago, because Marty's mullet is a death penalty offense in these days.

[@acerb4566]

Aint it the deal for the 5 Tribes to regain real power? To do that you have to know stuff from everywhere! You have the old traditions saved, so now it's time to look far beyond those hills deep into other cultures! Start with Ghandi.

[@tomkehl9632]

Yes !

[@frankrice5364]

I am thier grand son

[@frankrice5364]

The sad part that is not mentioned is they preached to the cherokee f first with Williams hicks and John Ross in north west Georgia. Check fact

[@tomkehl9632]

Check facts.... Where ??

[@irishaware]

the quote of A K McClure is very misleading, all the other quotes are dated, his is not why? Because he was writing long after the events and placing his own bias. Fact is they never did refer to themselves as scots or scotch anything. they labelled themsleves as Irish. www.sceala.com/phpBB2/irish-forums-25846.html This picks up on the quote in this vid about Robert Fallon.

[@deckiedeckie]

Half of the women in them "meetings" came out pregnant.....many by the preachers themselves....nothing godly about them "ceremonies"....the opposite is true.....jejeje

[@spencerlyman6443]
