[@WBIR10]

Look forward to more volumes of The Heartland Series coming to KZbin in the near future! There are more than 30 volumes in all with episodes from the mid-1980s to the late 2000s.

[@algoreHasNoRythm]

[@Lucky19038]

[@blessedbiker2264]

[@tameram7270]

This makes me sooooo happy! Thank you!

[@teadams72]

I'd like to purchase all volumes but haven't located how as of yet. I pray WBIR starts the series again in the future. I live and love in East Tennessee.

[@trjengar]

What a beautiful gift of sharing WBIR, The Heartland Series is so wonderful, educational to younger generations, I tip my hat for the gracious sharing gift.

11th Commandment “Thou shall remain silent during the Heartland Series” my grandparents house😁

[@karenrogers2826]

Lol, I felt the same way when this precious show came on.

[@delphiavillars]

I love the way these people look a person in the eye when they ara talking to a person .I don't trust any one looking away or down and never in the eyes .they usley lieing througho

[@tncowgirl34]

Amen!

[@tlozwarlock]

One of the hallmarks of my childhood. WBIR and Bill Landry's soothing tones educating me every time I visited the Smokys. Glad it's digital now. I can share with my own children.

[@200x-v4k]

Yes. It’s nice and here in the south we love to keep our history and respect it❤️

[@flatcat6676]

This is a national treasure. They were able to record so much of the old way and the old speech before they passed.

[@200x-v4k]

And a southern history

[@Lucky19038]

My great grandfather was on this show a few times. I would do anything to get ahold of those tapes/videos. I didn't see him in this volume his name was Roscoe Stinnett. He was a trapper/hunter and was also on an episode talking about humming birds when him and Bill Landry happened to come across a hummingbird nest neither had even seen before. Pretty cool stuff you don't see shows like this anymore.

[@botaniccal]

roscoe stinnett? I don't know a whole lot about my ancestry on my dad's side, but hearing that last name makes me wonder if theres any relation to me

[@tncowgirl34]

Thank you so much for sharing these episodes on KZbin! I remember watching this show as a kid. My mom loved this!

[@sheaasher3864]

Mr Landry just doesn’t know what a treasure this show is. I watched it from the time it came on air til it went off. He opened the worlds eyes to us, the people of Appalachia and our ways. ❤❤❤❤

[@mountainliving1227]

These are precious memories for me. This was before WBIR went blatantly liberal in their reporting. They are no longer “straight from the heart,” but at least we have these videos to remind us of better times.

[@200x-v4k]

Yep our state is being “northernized”

[@jasonnester9514]

God raised the mountains from the depths of the oceans

[@joeynolan7717]

My wife and I love to relax watching Heartland Series. I've met Bill Landry several times and he is always a joy to talk to.

[@blackcitroenlove]

Bill Landry was Indigenous, and I'm so grateful for his knowledge

[@benfinane2117]

What an unexpected treasure trove for this sometime Oak Ridge boy. Thanks, Bill Landry and WBIR, for this vital legacy.

[@hazeldavis3176]

Oh I can't thank you enough! This series is one of the jewels of our East TN crown!

[@200x-v4k]

I’m a Tennessean from generations and I love how we keep our history and don’t forget who we are. It’s a dignified thing. Up north, they threw their past away long ago and today know nothing about it. So yes we are unique in that matter

[@mjm-fj6ml]

😂

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

Great job, love to see folks share our great history.

[@tameram7270]

I never get tired of watching these! Soothing sounds of y childhood

[@jenniferdilts1350]

I loved these growing up. My great grandmother was featured in 2 different episodes.

[@Good_Joe]

My father used to rent The Heartland Series from our local library in East TN when I was a boy. We would watch it after dinner. Always loved it. Thanks for sharing this!

[@aqqalachia2374]

these were my whole childhood. thank you.

[@elainepastor7397]

I just tried to find resources of The Heartland Series and found that this was added "one day ago". I learned a lot from this endeavor of WBIR and Bill Landry Thank you

[@benmarstar]

Thank you for making these available to watch in their entirety!

[@Tiffinator7]

Im so excited for more!! This has always been one of my favorite shows since I was a little girl!!

[@tameram7270]

This has absolutely made my heart happy! Precious memories of me watching with my grandparents! 💗 GSM

[@acommonspat5253]

I keep expecting to hear "WHEEL OF FORTUNE!!" after every episode.

[@larrylanham2779]

It's funny how people accepted the time-lines and bending rocks so readily back in the 80s. I'm glad scientific research has advanced enough to disprove such notions. Thanks Ken Ham

[@blessedhobbyfarm5672]

I remember watching these as a kid with my parents. Love this very much ❤

[@tinaborn9584]

This is my first time watching this series I love stuff like this I love the smoky mountain it is beautiful there

[@blessedbiker2264]

Ty Lord,🙏🙏🙏 we so miss seeing and hearing his voice 🙌and these amazing moments 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯☠☠☠☠

[@marmeedoll]

She wanted to find her ancestors. Being a dutiful husband I agreed and we found the stones that marked her family lay in Cades Cove. I found her in the mid point of the last century. She graduated from a tiny school. Her grandmother taught in a one room school in NC. Talked with her grandmother. Courted her, the daughter. Married her. She could do anything she set her mind too. Her skills were not enough: author, designer, mother, lover. I had to lay her to her rest up high in the Balsams (Great Smokys) after 60 years married. Lord, I miss her, please let me see her again.

[@williambassemier5573]

Me and my wife went to Cades cove this weekend for the first time and fell in love with it

[@jjsadventures]

I have this series on VHS and still have a VCR. I absolutely love this series!! ❤

[@jamiemcdaniel8155]

Thank you for sharing 🙂 👍💕❤️💗

[@maddoxowo]

[@carolinafarmgirl1057]

Loving this series!

[@JackieHatcher]

Love this show

[@_FullSpeedAhead_]

This should be taught in school today. We have forgotten where we came from

[@mamatheshkumar5711]

we came | we survived ||. hail the lord !

[@jasonnester9514]

God is a heck of an engineer

[@benmarstar]

WBIR Channel 10, could you please add more volumes of the "The Heartland Series"? I went through the first ten volumes that are posted but would love to watch and learn from the others. Thank you!

[@thelaruefamilyhomestead]

I second this!!! Please keep adding more seasons!

[@unclecrusty1991]

Please WBIR, tell me where I can get this show on DvD? I can't find it anywhere for sale on the internet. I want to buy every episode. It's such an amazingly educational show!

[@barclaywoods2653]

I wish I could listen to the intro and outro music all the time

[@karenrogers2826]

Do you know the name of the theme music? I don’t and sure wish I had it on tape too. Like you, I’d listen to it and have everyone else listen too.

[@200x-v4k]

I love that Bill Landry, which is a southerner like myself exposed the attack on the innocent people Cherokee by the white government. This series was unique for that reason and necessary for the country to know what the government did to the natives

[@johnasbury-1]

As I'm watching the opening I hear my relative's name, Francis Asbury. Looking forward to hearing more.

[@katnip198]

🙏

[@nickroberts6984]

Great series, but 350 million years ?!? 🤣

[@cookingwithtabitha]

This kind of reminds me of California's Gold. I had no idea there was sandstone on the Smokeys.

[@gregjoslin1790]

I also listen to Scott Carpenter . He also from your neck of the woods .

[@misty1638]

When will you put volume 19 episode 17 on here to watch?

[@mildredrharmon4032]

Amen…. Gods Country 🛐🥰🙌🏼❤️✝️💕Thunder Bird 🦅 we we’re raised that there is a divine order!!!! The Cherokee “my family”!!!! Grandfather mountains name is actually Tanawha!

[@200x-v4k]

The US government is responsible for the atrocities committed to the Cherokee people It was not the act of the white settlers that lived in Tennessee ❤️. My mothers grandmother was real full Cherokee from Tellico TN

[@matthewbryant2735]

Settle in for a 2hr advertisement for the career of Bill Landry

[@kevincage1641]

Wow

[@Gypsy.313]

I wonder if those folks know how lucky they are? 🤔🙂

[@phyllis2332]

What seris was the one of monroe co churches. Hardshell was one of them

[@alicedrewe2330]

St. Cyril invented the Cyrillic alphabet that the Slavic people still use to this day. Sacoya was not the first man to entirely create an alphabet on his own.

[@chamboyette853]

At 40 they are playing an Irish tune.

[@jasonnester9514]

Impressive since the world is only about 4000 years old

[@rebeccasmith3322]

How many are here from Tik-Tok 😂

[@chamboyette853]

In many parts they seem to be playing Irish tunes.

[@freestaterider2657]

People believe what they believe. I may be different but I don't and I won't ever believe this bs of "How these mountains came to be" No 350 million years and Africa and Coast...etc colliding

[@ericdillon7467]

So, when I wake up and remember that I'm married to Dolly Parton in real life, then what?

[@jeepinspence]

you lost me at millions and millions of years.

[@kelliesharpe1067]

Wow.. what an unusually cruel act. Take a bear and hold it as prisoner and take away being a bear from it for a couple of months. And then make it love and trust you. And then commit the ultimate betrayal. If you're hungry and have no choice but to eat a bear...fine. but, that old man isn't sweet...his stories are cruel and I wish he'd starved and spared the bears. I hate mean people.

[@tennesseenana4838]

Abuse like that with any animal is beyond CRUEL! Sounds like what a lot of our zoos do now, only they don't murder the animal - they just let it suffer. A person who does that needs to have that be done to himself!

[@200x-v4k]

@@tennesseenana4838 Yes absolutely

[@chrisc4427]

I was real good video you can't be smoking meth that's where I'd like to lay and rest at when my time comes

[@vsetkoumiera7683]

Trust me there is still giant enormous beavers in E. Tennessee, they roam most truckstops 😮
