      I'm from East Tennessee, and my friend who still lives there mentioned the smell of the different trees and plants, and I thought here in Omaha, you don't get that.
      In fact, it still looks like January, and it's almost the end of March .

    Thank you sir for taking us alone with you. Such a beautiful area. It’s always kinda sad to see a forgotten cemetery, and the skeletal remains of homes that once were. It makes you wonder about the lives of those that once lived there.

    I have come across some out-of-the way cemetaries while exploring some long-forgotten 2-track paths that haven't seen any traffic for years and years. While exploring the headstones, I can almost hear the sighs of the past and the whispers of the stories that have yet to be told. Thank you for sharing these videos with us - and for telling the stories that are slowly but surely heading into the night. You give the voice to the past that is so very important not only for the historical aspect, but in the spiritual world as well. Please don't ever let their history fade away - for in the past we can see the way of the future.

    Mr. Laws - the sites you find and show to us are amazing to me. I used to walk through old gravesites, but I've not discovered anything like you show on the videos you present. I am especially taken with the old foundations of cabins, homes, and chimneys you show. It is so profound, the history and lost history you present. Thank-you once more.

    Dad would take us youg'uns into the woods for a day hike. He'd point out chimney stones and apple trees as markers of old cabin sites. It was easy to imagine ghosts walking the edges of the dark woods looking for their old home places that they couldn't find. No rest for those weary souls. Thanks, Donnie, for another good adventure down a dirt road in East Tennessee looking for the history of our hills.

    We would never get to see these old places without your endeavours. I like to imagine the old folks saying goodbye to their home countries to make a new start in new lands. It kinda brings a tear to my eyes. Loved this one. Maybe the larger home was built after a smaller homestead was built to accommodate a growing family. It is so romantic.❤❤❤

    I am absolutely loving all your videos, so glad I stumbled upon them the other day. You seem to have a natural storytelling ability that lends itself perfectly with the subject and just brings it to life.
    Growing up in eastern Ontario Canada as a child, I happened upon a book about the Appalachian Mountains and was instantly fascinated by everything about the mountains way of life. I’d already had a huge interest in the “old pioneer days” from countless re-readings of the Little House on the Prairie books and also learning about pioneer life in Upper Canada in school, but those Appalachian stories really had my heart. I found myself at the library looking up more books about the Appalachian Mountains and people. Not sure about the whole reincarnation theory but maybe there’s something to it, it just feels like home in some inexplicable way . ☺
    I live in Ohio now, and I’ve been able to do many a road trip with my husband to the mountains in Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia. The people we stop and talk to in our travels have always been so friendly and welcoming, always leaving us with great memories.
    Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in these videos! 💛

    Enjoyed your video, thank you! This is my kinfolk's neck of the woods. My Riddle ancestor fought in the battle of Kings Mountain and my Halls were some of the first settlers of Morgan County. Some were Revolutionary War veterans, and received their 640 acres of land. Some fought in the Cherokee War. That one I'm not so proud of because from my own Riddle ancestor's words, they walked across the Indians bodies without touching the ground. I was blessed to visit some of their places in the late 90's and would love to return someday.

    Old home places once full of life. There's an old mining community where I live and you can still see the rose bushes growing. People would give their neighbor or friend a sprout off their roses and they live for many years. The rose's are all that's left except for the scar's on the land. Thank you Mr. Laws for all you do to bring us enjoyment. God bless you all.

    That is some beautiful country and remnants there Donnie...that was a good eye spotting that old cistern off in that stump field.
    Thanks again for taking us along through video Brother.

    i love the woods, without logging there wouldn't be any old wood cabins or stores, barns, or any wood for building,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    I love exploring with you. I love the woods and seeing how our folks lived. If you get back to Cades Cove could you show the old Ledbetter place? I wanted to go up there but the park had it blocked off when I was there. I did meet someone who knew them and they talked about how Mr. Ledbetter (great, great grandpa) built the Gris mill. It still works!
    Don’t you wish you had names on all of those old graves?

      Thanks for sharing this my friend. I still have so much history and stories of the cove to share, but for the time being I can't film in the park for now because of the new rules. God bless you my friend.
