I can attest to how hard of work it is to build one of those log cabins. Back in the early eighties, my older brother who was really interested in the old ways decided to build a log cabin just like the pioneers did just for the fun of it. He roped all of us younger brothers into helping him. We cut all of the logs off of our property, squared them, and notched them with axes. We did cheat a little bit and used an old car to drag the logs to the building site, since we didn't have a mule. Talk about hard work. I was 14 that summer. It took us most of that summer to complete it, working on it whenever we had time free from doing farm work. It looks a lot like the cabins in your pictures.
I ended up moving into it in September of 1989 and still live there. It's two story, measures 12 ft by 12 ft on the inside, and is completely off grid. It has no indoor plumbing and run and get it water (from the well at the main house on the farm). I cook on a wood stove that's almost 100 years old and have an outdoor kitchen for summertime. Even though I didn't when I first moved in, I now have solar power for lights. It's a lot more work living this way, but I actually enjoy it.
I really have been enjoying your videos and the stories you tell. By the way, I still have the single bit axe that I bought 41 years ago when we built the cabin and still use it.
Amaaaaaazing. Bless you deeply in Christ.
It sounds like you are truly living the good life the way it was meant to be. Simple n peaceful and happy !!! Take care.
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Amen.
You are protected and sheltered in these perilous days. Wise man you are.
If you have any gratitude in your heart, thank God for our country and pray that God shows us mercy in these chaotic times
Amen. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Amen !
Well said sir! People need to be grateful to God for the life we live in this great country. We need to humble our hearts, give thanks and support each other as our ancestors did.
@@marywegrzyn506 Amen. Lord have mercy!
great video keep up the great work
God bless America! ☀️
Amen friend.
They did not know they were dirt poor. They were the foundation this country was built on. Thanks for saving their story
Your welcome.
Dirt poorisn't bad. No money in the pocket but a roof over your head, food in your belly, clothing on your back. No need for money.
Wish school child in USA could see your videos.
I hope so friend.
I said earlier I'm going to incorporate a video at least twice a week in our homeschool then we will have a discussions. Starting in the new year they will get started. We can't forget this. They must know.
Nobody tells a story like you do Sir. I literally could sit here all day, and watch you bring history alive. It's an escape from the rat race going on out there. I'm thankful for my property here in Va. I'm nestled in, with woods on three sides. Such a blessing and I thank God every day for what I have. Thank you Donnie for sharing, your friend, Louise
Donnie, I built a log cabin by hand back in the 80s. A 2 story and it took me about 5yrs. The logs were 12" logs and some were 14-16 feet long.
I moved and lifted them all by myself.l used a chainsaw to cut many of them. I was young and had a strong back back then. Them were the good ol' days....
Wow, That' awesome friend. Thanks for sharing.
That's cool. Do you still have it, or live in it? Thanks
@@mainemermaid6596 No my friend. This on the national park.
Do you live there?
Howdy Donnie- thank you so much for mentioning me on your channel. I sure do appreciate it. And thank you for showing these old log cabins that have survived and being cared for. The first log cabin I built I wanted to do it the way the pioneers did all by hand to get a feel for the hard work they did. That gave me an appreciation of how hard they worked and having few tools to work with. Nowadays I use a mix of the old tools that I’ve restored and some modern tools. Thank you so much for the effort and research you did to make this video possible. God bless you
Your so welcome friend. You do just a great job on them cabins. You know way more on them than i ever could. Great work. God Bless friend.
They were such hard workers! I'm always amazed at the craftsmanship they had. I love seeing those old chimneys and thinking of the hands that placed the rocks just so. This was a good one Donnie 🙂
Thank you. I to am amazed at the hard detail work their hands have done. So sad to look at their hard work and think it is lost in time and forgotten. The struggles these people had. Our mountain people.
I remember watching my great grandfather working a team of mules turning ground for a garden, my great grandmother wringing a couple chickens necks so we would have supper. Going into a root cellar to get some taters and a couple jars of green beans That was in the early 60s in Bell county KY. I was just a kid, but I remember it very well.
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Damn I was just about to ask you are we cousins until I've seen you from Kentucky lol
Yes, my papaw would take Judy, the big red plow mare onto the hillsides where it was too steep for a tractor. Living on a working farm with my grandparents was a privilege.
So much of our society is oblivious to the true origins of our citizenship and heritage.
I also remember these things. My Great grandmother out in the yard "diddling" to the chickens then quickly grabbing a fat hen & wringing its neck for our meal. I'd crawl under the house (sat on large rocks at cornors) to find eggs to make cornbread. She'd put me on a cot on the screened back porch for a nap while fixing the meal. I'm 62 yr old woman & these are precious memories I'll keep till I die.
My people were from Harlan & Marshall County. Thanks for your videos ❤ love them!!
Thank you again, Brother Donnie! Headed to southern West Virginia/eastern Kentucky this weekend for 10 days to see “our” people. I sure have missed home since the pandemic began. Pray that I have safe travels. When I hit those winding two-lane roads, I know I’m home.
Have fun my friend and please do be safe. Say Hi to everyone for me.
Awww, I wish I could go along with you. Have fun n be safe!!!
I have pictures of my Appalachian 4th great grandparents sitting in front of a fireplace in an old log cabin in NC.Grandpa Rooker is posed reading a book because some education was important to him.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing my friend.
I never thought much about being Appalachian. Or my southern draw or. The things we say. Untill here of late. But I'm mighty proud of my heritage never been ashamed of it. I'm starting to get up in age. Ans I guess looking back is a habit of mine now thinking of those who went before me. And my own raising.my granddaddy traded mules back then logging was still a big thing and still is in,places in these mountians. Thanks Donnie. I enjoyed this. You take care. Now,,,ps one. Of my great great uncles rode a cow cause he couldn't afford a horse. I used to have s picture of it but it got lost.
Your welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Awww, thank you for sharing this awesome story.Its so nice to learn how life was back then first hand from you n your family history.
@@marywegrzyn506 thankyou,,,
My Grandfather was born in Altapass, NC. His stories were not told easily, but rather pulled out over the years. He attended Crossnore Home in his teens in Cossnore, NC. He was a amazing man, a hard worker, and was well loved by his family and neighbors. But as hard as life was for him growing up he was always proud of his heritage. Thank you for your videos.
Your welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Maybe you are related to the first frontier family from the original State of Franklin, wh
Which is now Tennessee!
The Cobb family was a large political force in early pioneer Appalachia.
Rocky Mount Historical Society can be a good source of information on this topic.
Thank you Donnie for telling the rest of the country about the self-reliance and decency of our ancestors who came into the wilderness mountains, hollows, and valleys to establish their homes.
Your welcome.
Thank you for preserving our history, and for passing it on to newer generations. You are a TREASURE! I hope you get well very soon, Donnie!! ❤️🙏🏼✝️
Thank you friend. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Another Great Appalachian Story of our past Donnie, want to Thank You Friend. It makes us feel mighty proud of our Ancestors and their determination to make a life for themselves and family in this beautiful, but rugged country 🙂.
Well said! Thanks for sharing my friend.
@@donnielaws7020 Thank you so much for all your videos. I love watching them. GOD BLESS YOU DONNIE.❤️👍👍
@@grannyblaylock623 Thank you.
I love your stories.... I have such a nostalgia and love for the days of old ( before I was ever born). I've been looking into my family roots and reading about yarb Drs and talking the fire out and wart buying... all of which my great grandmother or grandfather as well as my husband's great grandfather were said to be gifted with..... sadly I have no elders left living to pull these secrets from. Is there any way you could do a video on the old medicine tricks... or faith healing. I would be so grateful. I want to share the ways of old with my daughter's before this cold world swallows up all that's left of the good old days.
Great ideal friend.
Just found your videos, I've really enjoyed watching them. Reminds me of my Papaw Walker telling me all the stories of his family settling in these mountains. The land I live on has been in my family for 150 years.The Walker Sisters have a nice cabin up at Metcalf Bottoms, they definitely lived off the land. Also, refused to leave there property. They growed there own food, made clothes. My momma always told me about going to visit them, they where always entertaining visitors. I miss hearing all those old stories. Thank you Sir, for bringing back a flood of old memories. 🐻
Welcome to the channel friend. Thanks so much for them kind words and telling your story. God Bless.
Donnie your stories are great 😊 You spell everything out with heartfelt emotions and you bring the listener right into the reality of all of this during this time. Thank you for sharing.
I agree !!!
Thank you friend.
@ Tony --- 100% agree. He is blessed with the gift of telling the stories that need telling. He brings them to life.
@@craignelson8670 Indeed
Thank you again, so much, for another great video and history lesson. I have lived in Maryland, all of my life. One thing I always thought about doing, was to walk the whole Appalachian Trail. I have been on parts, of the Appalachian Trail, but now, at 73, will probably and gratefully, watch your videos, to get the the experience of Appalachia. Thank you.
Your welcome friend.
An excellent historical tour. Very well put together. I noticed and found very interesting that in one of the homestead interior pictures (10:30 seconds into the video) that a duck decoy was on the mantle. Very interesting and no doubt today worth a lot of money as "folk art" as these originals are.
Thank you very much!
Another beautiful story of days gone by, Donnie. Life seemed so much simpler back then!💖
Yes it was. Thanks for sharing my friend.
It is great history Donnie ,Thank you i enjoyed it

Thank you friend.
Great video Donnie, sometimes when I watch your videos ,I wish I would have lived 150 years ago . The craftsmanship in those dovetail joints. beautiful log cabins. And sometimes your voice takes me back where I think , and find myself there 150 years ago. Thank you for the work you do, the research, and finding all them beautiful picture, and preserving our history, especially in this sad time, when some folks, are trying to make our history disappear.God bless you Donnie.
It was such a hard life, and every aspect of your daily lives, was work, and you worked to keep yourself and your family alive, housed and fed. Even Sundays, that were meant for rest, rarely were strictly for that. Like I’ve been told by my family, the joy that you did have, were story telling and visiting with your family and neighbors, playing music and singing along, and time to read the good book. Wonderful pictures and your captivating story telling, always makes my day. Thank you Donnie!
I appreciate that my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Sir, for being here now. I think me & you were born 200 years late in time....ATB
Wow, thanks Thanks for sharing my friend.
I had a wonderful history teacher in Jr. high who brought this proud history to life for us. Your video is a wonderful refresher, that should be shown to all students. It's that good.
Awesome friend. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for keeping the history and traditions of the stewards of the land alive.
Your welcome friend.
Beautiful narrative, Mr. Laws. Beautiful photographs.
Thank you kindly!
Your stories are the best Donnie!!!
Thank you Bill.
Great video as usual. Keep them up.
Thanks, will do!
Hey Donnie, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. I constantly find myself searching for more of your stories. You have an art and a God given talent! Have you ever thought of reading the Bible? I can’t speak for everyone here... but I feel a lot of folks would enjoy hearing your voice reciting the Holy Bible verse by verse.
Wow, thank you. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thank you so very much Mr. Laws for your enlightening, wonderful videos.
You are very welcome
I live in Ohio right on the corner of Kentucky and Indiana you can drive to either state and be there in less than 30 minutes. But, I live a long the Ohio river and the Shawnee Indian lived in these parts but like you said good and bad on both parts. Our ancestors taught us to be thankful they worked hard and helped each other. In my opinion older things were built better furniture etc was built to last. And pioneers for the most rested on sundays and gave thanks to God! I’ve always been interested of stories on the Oregon trail…I remember reading about a pioneer family in the 1800s something happened to where the parents died so the young teenagers learned enough from their parents to be able to take care of the younger children but they made a living out of selling medical plants etc it was all about family and looking out for each other and your neighbor! Much respect for our ancestors!
Love your story of history your a true blessing to many. God bless
Awesome! Your very welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Beauty in it's purist form.
Thanks for sharing my friend.
I know these people lived a hard life. I kinda got a taste of it growing up on a little ole hog farm in North Florida. But nothing compared to what they had to do. We had tractors and trucks .I sometimes wish I could have been back then . The way of country living is so interesting to me. Love this history. Thank you Mr Donnie. Lord bless you and yourn my friend.
So true my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you. Your very welcome.
I love you voice. It reminds me of my people. Scots, Irish, English, German, Pamunkey and Cherokee. Family from Clay County, Ky.
Thank you. Thanks for sharing my friend.
@@donnielaws7020 I love all your videos Donnie.
Yay Story Time Thanks Mr Donnie 👍😊
Thanks friend.
Mr LAWS, you are a remarkable speaker, your voice sounds honest, I have no problem believing what you say. I would have loved to been raised in the Appalachian mountains. Although I didn't watch the Waltons in my youth, I bought the series and realized how much I missed, that GOD and Family are number 1.GOD BLESS YOU and keep the vids coming.
I Thank you so much for sharin!!! I Love hearin about our heritage!!! Thank you again for sharin!!😇❤
your welcome.
Enjoyed watching thank you for sharing 😊♥️✝️
You are so welcome
Love these beautiful stories, it’s like opening a time capsule to the past. I grew up in the northern Appalachians above the Mason-Dixon Line and now live below it in the southern Appalachians. It’s very much of the same mountain culture with a few regional differences; same log cabins (called camps if near the water) and outbuildings except my grandparents had a “sugar shack” for processing maple syrup from sugar maples, and an ice house built partially underground for refrigeration and food storage. We also use to go sledding in an old overturned car hood for fun, and my brother built us a nice cabin from scratch in the woods behind our house as our own private “fort”. Good times and treasured, priceless memories.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this and your memories. God bless you. Your very welcome.
DW, thank you for having this channel. It brings back memories, I'm not from any part of the south but you got me hooked on your memories and story telling.
Just a few days ago I clicked on your channel and now I can't get off of it. I'm loving everything about it. Keep up your great work 👍
Your very welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
I love watching these. Love the Smokie Mountains...back where I was born. Bit of Heaven on this side. 💖
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thank you Donnie. My ancestors came out of Appalachia to settle in the Midwestern States. It's nice to know more of their history and lifestyles. From my now modern cabin, I watch it snow and think of how my Ancestors survived winter. Being warm and comfortable, I think to myself, " I'm glad I don't have to cut wood today. "
Your welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
These blueridge mountains around Bedford are full of old chimneys and grave yards with just a stone for a marker. My wife was born and raised in a log home built by here grand father she was raised by them. I learned a lot from here grandpa he did every thing with a horse he said as long as he lived there would never be a tractor or a tiller in his garden he had no education but was one of the smartest men I ever knew. I was lucky to have been around him and learn how to garden and taught me how to can and dry food . I’m 72 now but my life is speeding on buy . About all the old mountain people have passed on about all of it is been sold to outsiders for hunting camps it makes me sad . Thanks for your hard work putting out these story’s and keeping it alive .
That's so true my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you. Thanks so much.
@@donnielaws7020 thanks so much !!!!
Grateful for my grandpa and my great Smoky mountain ancestors.
Thanks for sharing my friend.
My Mamaw and Granny lived in their cabins until they passed. I loved those old houses with the smoke house, root cellar and spring house. I still remember how wonderful the curing barn smelled when filled with drying burley. Thanks for bringing back those memories.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing my friend.
REALLY LIKE YOUR VIDEOS. PLEASE DONT STOP AND GOD BLESS.
Thank you so much friend.
As a child that grew up watching 'The New Yankee Workshop', I proudly identified that beautiful dovetail joint! Were I not disabled, I dearly wish I could build a home for my family.
Thanks for sharing friend.
Donnie I'm gonna add something to a statement you made. You said "The pioneers either raised it, traded for it or made it". I'm gonna add "or they did without".. my dad told me that all the time
Thanks for sharing my friend.
@Opal Allen Yes there was my friend.
I really love watching and listening to you tell about the people who lived there. The pictures of the people and homes they built shows how hard they worked to survive. Thanks Donnie!
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
Took alot of patience along with that skill.The very backbone of our country these people were.Great Video.
This is beautiful!
The story of the humble America needs to be told.
Thank you friend.
The narrator's voice seems the way the Pioneers would have spoken. Very straightforward and methodical. Interesting video. You can see the difficulty of the life in the faces of the adults.
Thanks for sharing my friend.
People these days complain so much about the few hours they work to make a living. Everyone should see this and at least get some idea of real hard work is/was. I hope you can continue to educate us and I hope this video gets out to many Americans. God Bless you and may your pond get filled.
Thanks for sharing this my friend. God bless you. Your very welcome.
I am a native of Oconee County, SC and almost every word, phrase, ways of doing things, etc are familiar to me because when I was growing up I stood beside my mama whenever adults were talking and listened intently with a plan to remember it. Children were seen and not heard then, and now I’m glad for I learned a lot. I’m enjoying your video series and trying to record my memories for my descendants if they’re interested. And I hope at least a few will be. But, anyhow, thanks for jogging my memory about things and phrases I’d forgotten. Keep up the good work! I’m proud of who we are and want to share it.
Well said. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thank You Donnie I Love History My Heart and Soul can't get Enough of It Blessings and Please Be Safe ✌️
Awesome my friend. Your very welcome. Thanks for sharing this.
Precious people, precious times. ❤️
Thank you friend.
Thank you Donnie, for showing these videos. It should be prerequisite for our young folks to see. My grandparents hacked out a life in southern Missouri. I marveled at their ingenuity. I can't help but wonder where their tools came from. You are performing such a service by presenting these videos. I can hear the pride and enjoyment in your voice which makes them all the better. God Bless.
Thank you friend for sharing this. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Thank you so much!! That was really something to behold.... it should make us all appreciate the great county we live in... And why people are so passionate to preserve and protect it, specially when politics go to all hell......
Your welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Thank you so much.
So calming is your voice, in a time when the world seems crazy.
I’m of Irish Scotch decent.
I imagine a possible family member years and years ago

My Grandma Dora Mullin's was born in Mtn. City Tenn. in 1916. Died of Alzheimers at age 65 in the early 80's. So glad to have known her. Many brothers and one sister. In the 60's she traveled extensively with Pop around the whole world. Name it, she was there. xoxo

Thanks for sharing my friend.
THANK YOU FOR THIS
Your welcome.
I love these old pictures. Thank you for sharing them❤
Your very welcome my friend. Thank you.
I love the respect you show these largely forgotten people. I’m old enough to have known some many thought of as “poor”. Though some could barely read and sign their names they were among the most noble and wise people I ever knew. It’s sad we, as a nation, have lost their nobility of mind and spirit. Keep these wonderful videos coming! As you know there are many more tales waiting to be shared! I wish I would have discovered your channel sooner. Al
Thanks my friend. I want them remembered.
Thank you Donnie, Sending love too all the kind hearts!
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Your video's are always a treat! Thank you for being you. ❤
You are so welcome!
My ancestor was John Fields. He fought at Kings Mountain and served under Sevier. He helped build alot of the Blockhouses around the current day Tri Cities TN area. He took a sword wound to the head and hip..After the war, He was a long hunter and build a log cabin in Viper KY for his family and moved here around 1800.
Alot of information on the Revolutionary War has came from John's war pension and its widely said his account is the most accurate and detailed of any
WOW, Thanks for sharing my friend.
As always, the narrative is professional and a genuine testimony of our ancestors.
God bless you Donnie.
Thank you kindly my friend. God Bless you to.
My family moved to NC from Va in the early 1700s. They owned a lot of farmland and still do. As a child visiting my grandmother’s farm, I was able to explore with my cousins a lot of these old log cabin homes that had been deserted over the centuries. I loved it! It was fascinating to explore the rooms, whatever old furniture or household items were left behind. Thanks for this wonderful video. ❤️👍
That's awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
I really wish that I lived a little bit of this, I love seeing old buildings and mining camps!
Thanks for sharing my friend.
Love these ol' cabins. You're right about the bearded carpenter. He builds some nice cabins.
Howdy Jesse- thank you so much for the kind words. God bless
The least I could do my friend.
He sure does my friend.
My 6th Great grandfather was named Meshach Browning, who was a pioneer and great hunter that settled in the Appalachian wilderness of what is now Garrett County MD. He wrote his stories down in his autobiography "Forty Four Years of the Life of A Hunter" which is a beautiful, if simplified collection of stories about hunting the area, courtship of his beloved Mary McMullen and even mention of the birth of my 5th grandmother, Dorcas. The book is still in print today.
Meshach Browning is still a popular folk figure of the area with a trail system named for him, Historical Society museum, and his grave being popular MB destinations to visit, and so it's fun to spend time in the area and learn about him and his/my family. One of his surviving flint lock guns and a powder bag is in the Smithsonian Institute's gun room.
Your video brings his life to mind, all the struggles he and his family had to keep food on the table and a roof above them. His own cabin was torn down in the first half of the 20th century, but his presence is still felt there in the Deep creek area of Western Maryland.
Your welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Wow! We owe alot to our ancestors for carving the way of living. I love & appreciate every one of them. My maternal grandmother had a cast iron stove like the black one. There wasn’t any better cookin than what my grandma made!!😊

Thanks Donnie sure do enjoy them god bless you happy to be sharing this bud
I look forward to your content...from finding old shells in the woods, to telling history of these mountains. I was especially touched by the story of your Mamaws house...your story and mine are almost the same, and brought back many memories. Thank you so very much.
Awesome friend. Thanks for sharing.
The more I watch your content the more I enjoy it. Keep it up my friend.
Thank you friend. Glad you enjoy them. Your very welcome.
This is beautiful Donnie. I’m sitting here in my cabin with all its modern conveniences trying to imagine what these people’s lives were like. They must have had strong bodies and big hearts.
They had the will to live for their families needs and Love.
They Did
I’m in love with some of the old homesteads. The Walker Sisters place holds a spot close to my heart. I can’t pinpoint what attracts me to it but I don’t feel like I’m home until I visit it. Have always said if the government would let me live there I would
Thanks for sharing my friend.
I lived in sitka ky for 16 years loved it home sweet home
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Dam Boy!! This is truly a great UA-cam channel!!
Thanks.
Pretty amazing. My family has been here living in the western part of Virginia in the Appalachian Mountains since the early 1700s. I’m very very proud of all of the hard work and the hardships they went through to get our generation here to where we are today. Let’s all remember their love of independence hard work and freedom. Because they fought in every war that this country has been through to preserve those freedoms. Never forget where you came from
Amen my friend.
Thank ya Mr.Laws in my neck of the woods Abe Lincoln lived here ✌️❤️
Another fine video!
My maternal Grandpa built their first home in Scott Co. VA around 1920. That became my uncle's cabin in 1930's when he built their second house (still occupied today.) that first cabin was the smoke-house in the1950s when I was a boy. They built things to last.
The Museum of Appalachia in Norris, TN has preserved old cabins, old hand tools, and has demonstrations on occasional. Well worth a visit. Thanks Donnie!
Your welcome. Thanks for sharing my friend.
My grandmother told us about her family traveling from illinois to Texas in a covered wagon. My grandmother was sitting in the back of the wagon in an old washtub. The wagon hit a bump & she fell out & broke her arm. She also lost her twin sister on that trip because she got some kind of fever & died on the way to Texas. Thank you for the video! I have seen lots of old cabins like this traveling in Tennessee & Kentucky, I love them.
Wow. Thanks for sharing my friend.
