OMG. What an amazing story I love stories like this. I am a single woman 65 years old, who bought 7 acres and trying to carve out a life for herself. I don’t use a loom. I don’t know how to weed my own clothes or cloths. But there for about seven years, I’ve lived in a little camper, hauling water from the well and using extension cord from the electric pole to have a light. I use a single burner hot plate to cook a meal. I can watch something on my little TV. But it doesn’t matter I don’t have the luxury that a lot of people do I have land and I pray to God, nobody takes it from me.

@@gottasay4766 Wonder if you'll hold the government in such high esteem when it shows up in your backyard with the power of "eminent domain", steals your home and land and then dictates what you can or cannot do. That fiddle will play as others have done after the "powers that be" take what is not rightfully theirs for the "greater good".

Please stick around this channel and learn more about Appalachian women. We still grow em strong and capable. We still love our land and our ways and we still work hard to have our Appalachian version of the American dream. Times have sure changed but we still exist. Many of us are trying our best to not only hold on to the old way but to also teach our kids and grand kids of the old ways. I value the history of my ancestors so much and I'll continue trying to pass it on, as long as I live. My grandparents were my heros. Good, hard working, intelligent, dedicated, God fearing people. I'm so blessed to have known them. I'll cling to their way of life for as long as I can.

Thanks JD, weren’t they absolutely amazing women, their father would have been so proud of them. Love how they stood up to the government and lived such a hard but rewarding life. I would have loved to have sat around the table drinking tea and listening to them regale all the stories from their past. Overall it was a sad tale of the unwinding power governments have over the citizens. I had never heard of imminent domain before today, it was mentioned on a video posted about hurricane Helene, where the government may use imminent domain to take land from people there and in other areas hit, to change where new roads will be built as the others have been washed away. And then, low behold I watch your video and here it is again. The sisters love for one another and dedication to their land and heritage really was outstanding. I admire them greatly 😊

What an amazing story and you are 100% correct in your assumption that no one today would be happy with the government trying to take their homes from them under any circumstances. The story of these sisters are inspiring not only because of the fight they gave to stay on their land but because of the hard work they put forth to live. Many people today don't realize what truly hard work it is to survive like this. It is sad to know that the sisters never married and had kids of their own but it is also a good thing because there is no way the government would have let their children, grand children, great grand children and so on stay on that land.

Such a moving and emotional testimony of a bygone era. I’m the youngest of 5 daughters and have never known such a tight bond with my sisters - too much jealousy,competition and one-upmanship. What a novel idea of having nothing but love and kindness towards your siblings as these women had. Fabulous! Thank you for sharing 😊🇬🇧
