For someone not from USA, a YT short on a colorised photo of the ex-GIs, got me to this extraordinary event in the post-war history of American democracy. In my nation, election rigging of ballot-boxes has been eliminated through use of electronic voting machines. However, in the recently concluded national elections, there is still a lingering suspicion on the neutrality of the election process and the federal Election Commission. I believe that such public vigilance should be a safeguard for democracy everywhere.

There was a race on the creek. Start line was upstream, finish line was down stream.. Each man got something that would float from start to finish line. One man chose a nettle. He won the race and married the chiefs daughter and became Chief Nettlecarrier. Years before white occupation the area was hunting ground. Tribes from near and far gathered in KY to decide who was hunting and when. No one was supposed to live on the hunting grounds. The tribe that lived here was fantastic at hide and seek. There are sink holes with bluff caves and a stream of clean water from end to end that they lived in. The town was Nettlecarrier then changed to Alpine. The creek the race was held on is named Nettlecarrier.

LOL I blew coffee everywhere when Steve said a whole Lot More lol . I live In Chapmanville WV there was a man that flew his plane under the bridge that crossed the Guyandotte river here . Then later on he hit a Cow and killed it landing in a field .

This is my 3rd cousin on my mom's side.. He also made a little red truck. My mom said Talmadge and his wife and two children would come down in that small car. Talmadge would come down in his truck and they were so small they would pick it up and put it on the porch so it wouldn't get wet if it rained or stolen.

I love that you called him unemployed lol

mimi and pawpaw took me to a witch when i was a kid to get a wart conjured off my finger

This was quite fascinating. Thanks. My Harlan County Blanton Family was in a feud with the Hensley Family. The Feud began on November 4, 1933, when there was a gunfight at a polling both. Throughout Kentucky, there was a referendum vote for Wet County (Booze Made Legal) and Dry County (Booze KEPT Illegal.) This referendum vote took place because soon FDR would sign the 21st Amendment which would end Prohibition. Thus, counties COULD have people/companies/corporations that made, sold, and transported booze. My Blanton Family was for Wet County, but the Hensley Family was for Dry County. Of course, this was because the Hensley Family controlled all the illegal booze. Thus, if booze became legal in Harlan County, the Hensley Family would lose a lot of money. On November 4, 1933, three Blanton Men and two Hensley Men were shot-dead. The Blanton Men were Zachariah Blanton (my Great Grandfather) and his two sons John Blanton and Jesse Blanton. The two Hensley Men were A.H. Hensley and and his son Zachie Hensley. Jonathan Hensley was also at this gun fight but he didn't take a bullet. Later more Blanton Men and Hensley Men were shot-dead. It's a long story. I know most of it, but I am still researching. Could you guys also research the Hensley-Blanton Feud of Harlan? As for Wilson Howard, he proved that he was a criminal when he committed murder in Saint Louis. If he were not a criminal but defending his family in Harlan, then (after he left) he would have ceased committing crimes. But, after he leaves Harlan, he kills a man in Saint Louis. Then, the second time he left Harlan, he robs a Wells Fargo Stagecoach in California!!! Killing was in-his-blood. Of course, the Howard Family in Harlan mixed DNA with my Blanton Family in Harlan. Howard, Brock, Blanton, Hopkins, those are the surnames of my Harlan Ancestors. I am Delbert Blanton. Kokomo, Indiana. Never been to Harlan County. Not once. July 27, 2024. Didn't read-over for typos. Sorry.

King's Mountain War.... October 7, 1780..... In South West Carolina.....!!!!!

Diamonds are found in weird places. There have been several found in VA and there is no geologic reason for them to be here. The largest was 14 carats and found near Richmond while workers were digging a ditch. Another was found in Pound, VA, close to KY. Several were found by miners looking for gold in the VA "Gold Belt." Diamonds and other materials are washed downstream and, when the stream changes it's bed, they get covered. Maybe they will wash out of fall out of an excavation later so that they can be found. There is no geologic reason for diamonds to be located anywhere in the eastern US, that I know of. I am a geologist, so I have a clue. The almond in Richmond was an octahedral shape, which makes it possible for the one in WVA to be cubic shaped.

I’m his 9th great grandson but I see a lot of Caucasians say there related more than African American but does that matter?

Important story - well-told. Thank you, gentlemen. A side note: Both of you, Steve Gilley and Rob Mullens, are very good storytellers. But Steve, in particular, has a great voice for advertising. I was employed by McCann-Erickson (the world's largest advertising agency) for over 2 decades (retired now) and can tell you that Steve's voice is meant for that medium - in the vein of Steve Bodett ("we'll keep the light on for ya" - Motel 6). Anyway, to both of you: great job!

Goodness, it wasn't until this story was about halfway through, when I put Embry and Riddle together. My son graduated from Embry Riddle in 2014. The graduation ceremony was at Pensacola Naval Air Station. So they must have satellite classrooms at various Air Stations. My son at the time was a helicopter mechanic for the Coast Guard. He is now a supervisor on the Quality Department on the A220, Air Bus Assembly, in Mobile, AL. Thanks for sharing this story.

James Turner was my 1st cousin 6x removed. His son John D Turner married Fannie Middleton daughter of Bejamin and Sarah Blevins Middleton who were victims of Devil Jim.

This is a awesome podcast thank you and im a descendant of perry cline my grandma nida cline i grew up in Iowa and never got to visit my family thier but i love hearing history about my family although after the history channel movie i talked to my grandma and ahe told me that the story of Perry starting it was not how it happened and while my family did file a lawsuit that is about as big as our family got involved directly and perry cline wasn't even a lawyer till after the feud the family lore goes that he became a lawyer because of him loosing the trial and timber rights of our land

Is. Call. A. Shadow Creature

Why the picture of David Crockett.

Eeewww a pedophile

According to google, Riddle's $250 "Flying Jenny" would have cost $3,927.19 in today's money! Pretty much, $4k

Can you imagine an unemployed painter wearing a suit?

Awesome story. Thanks so much for sharing.

❤

Thank you for sharing my family’s story about Pound Gap. Ira Mullins was my great great great uncle and my grandmother wrote a book about it called “Shadow of the Pines”. She change the names, but all the characters are real.

Civil asset forfeiture, anyone?

Whether the treasure is real or a hoax, it’s still a very interesting story. Thank you for sharing it.

Having watched the miniseries with Kevin Costner and the late Bill Paxton, and having looked up any and all information I have been able to find about the actual events of the feud, which as you may guess do not always stack up as it depends on whether it's the Hatfield or McCoy side you're reading about, the sad thing is the whole damned thing could've been completely prevented, if both families would have just said: "Enough," and decided to let things go. So much loss of life, and it was completely unnecessary, and shows just how poisonous both hatred and revenge are - they lead to nothing but pain and suffering.

That is very interesting, and creepy.😬

You just know with a name like "Loston" that I had to comment on a video about a town called "Loyston." lol. So many towns were submerged by water. It always fascinating to hear about these small towns that no longer exist. TVA disrupted a lot of families lives back then, but I think it was all for the best, as it benefited the state of Tennessee tremendously, helping to modernize the country. The benefits were enormous, but you still have to feel for those people who had to relocate.

How did they get white names?

i am the great grand daughter of Lucinda Mills, And the grand daughter of Lucinda Mills Allen, who was not involved with the murder, I can tell you what got into their heads as it was told to me, there where a couple of preachers that went through the holler preaching this crap! And the after math of this murder is my grand mother and my mother preached to us to BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS! My grand father Bill Allen was the neighbor who got the sheriff to come. He tried days before but since there was no crime committed yet they didn't do anything to stop it!

I just found your channel. I love your stories. Although I live in the coastal plain of NC, I love and yearn to know all that I can about the Appalachian area.

This church was creepy! A tree was laid over the rood wouldn't let us cross there was a animal on the tree and wouldn't let us pass we turned around and never came back

Heard from a guy who is connected to the Seminole tribe who said there is a Wampus like cat in there stories as well. Wouldnt elaborate on it.

Can the wampus cat climb trees?

2024 - The War was just a few years of his life. His last years brought him into penniless care of an NC mental hospital. When visiting "the Boundary" and you will not see a monument or mention of Thomas. There is a single NC History Road Marker on Hwy 74 near the exit for Cherokee because the valley there is named for him. -- Thomas was not a perfect guy - he was a rich politician after all...but his true loyalty and political friendship to the ECBI is unduly erased because of reverse prejudice from the sovereign nation. Just my opinion.

Education is the lowest in the South

Quick question--you mentioned 'quits'. Did you mean quoits (pronounced 'quates')?

I used to watch that movie when I was younger

Yall tell a lot of the same stories as "Appalachian storyteller"

I wish I could have met devil anse and spent some time with him.

I heard about these 3 on an episode of "Gunsmoke"

Cult stories are so weird. I can't help but visualize how the scene must have looked 😬

The name Devil is more often used than I thought Why would a parent name the child Devil

Richard, Thomas and Lincoln were my great grandmother's brothers. My mom knew Link and said he made his wife's and his own caskets. She said his was lined in yellow and hers was lined in black. He would also get in his to demonstrate that it fit. Have heard a lot of stories about Link!

The Greene's are my family.

That's a depressing one! But, thank you.

I think they should change the name back!

I live in LoFollette Tennessee and I’m creeped now

People definitely lived longer in places like that. Much healthier than the sheeple being pumped full of hormones & petroleum-based medications of today.

Burkharts are a branch of the Hunfriding dynasty , bouchardings, The first Burkhart and his brother , Adalbert ,had theirheads removed for not acquiescing to the Vatican in 911 ad. In 711 ad a monk from Wessex traveled to Germany with other monks and chopped down the Donner Oak in their zeal to spread the new Christianity. He is St. Burcardus
