Picture #8 of the elderly gentleman reminds me so much of the old timers, long gone, here in Carrol County, Maryland. In that portrait, that man's face, I can see the history of America written as clearly and as powerfully as any history book of 500 pages could ever hope to achieve. This episode touched my heart.
Preservation of local and regional historical photographs is a blessing to any community. You are exactly right, if steps aren’t taken to preserve and catalogue historical photos like these those moments will be lost with time. Speak with your family members and ask them to go through those boxes of photographs in the box under the bed and mark the names and dates of those in the pictures on the back. Too often these unknown photographs become a mystery after your grandmother, grandfather, or aunt or mother in-law passes. History lost with the generations. Thank you for sharing these memories. - Tennessee Smoky
had to stop and say we call those hats "news boy" hats. love this type of video too, then again I am a huge history buff. That is an incredibly nice collection of local history. I love how they are all framed and the name list with them. When we did a special tabloid section for the paper I worked for to celebrate my hometowns 200th birthday, weeks after that hit the stands, folks started emailing and calling to let me know they had old photos to share. What a wonderful treasure when we get such a gift!! Thanks for sharing bits of your hometown history with us.
Tipper Thank you for your programs and I love the photos in this one especially the ones of the children. These pictures are priceless as far as history goes.
I love it when you talk to the local folk around Brasstown. It’s neat to learn about people like this. It’s neat to learn about their lives. Thank you for doing this, Tipper. I love the old photos. I wish I could meet all the people that were in those photos. This is a big reason for the community center to stay.
It's so fascinating to hear the stories about the photos! The one of the hog killing reminded me of my Dad's older brother, who was killed at the age of two at a hog killing.They were boiling a huge pot of water over a fire to clean the hog carcass and my uncle tipped it over onto himself and was scalded to death. My Dad has a huge trunk full of photos that look so much like the people in the photos you and David showed us.
It’s so fascinating how they dressed back then. I just think if we can pictures are nice to reserve for the next generation, each picture has a story behind it. Especially, of the young children, it seemed like with the hardships of life back then, they seem to not be phased by it. I love the old black and, white photos which, I have a lot of from my mom and, my dad’s photo from where he was in Korea looked all torn and, we used to have a shop where, I live that restored photos and, that was my neighbor one priority yrs ago when, I got a healthy chunk of money because, I thought it would be so costly but, I am sure it is now but, back then, in the early 2000s it was still. Thanks Tipper, for sharing a part of your history with us.
I have recently come across "The Appalachian Story Teller on UA-cam. I love it! He is new and doesn't have alot of followers just yet. I appreciate him so much and his story telling is amazing. His preservation of history is so priceless. I love it as much as your channel. God Bless the keepers of history. Ya'll are so needed in modern times. God's work for sure!
Thanx for the tour. Appalachian history is always interesting. The photo that popped for me was the hog killing. I was given the liver and heart (beef) today from a friend and was talking to him about butchering in the fall of the year. When I saw the photo of the hog it brought back memories from 65 years ago. Thanx Tipper.🙂🐖
Hi Tipper, thank you so much for bringing us and preserving this beautiful photo history about the people of Brasstown. It is wonderful to be able to get to know the people and the times through these photos. You channel, Celebrating Appalachia, is a true American treasure -- as are you. Thank you and God bless!
I love the picture with the little boy with the dog giving it's paw. Sweet. I loved them all. So nice keeping these people's images alive. I loved this video.
I'm related to the Green, Sales, and Fleming families- my great-grandmother was a Fleming and my great-great grandmother was a Sales. My family has been in Brasstown for several generations. :) Glad to call it home!
Over the mountain in upper east tennessee i grew up with a Terry Fleming whos family was from over in coeburn area of sourhwest Virginia and I played baseball with a Darrius Green.
Hello im a Sayles . My relatives live in brass town . My name is spelled different but im the same people . My great grandfather was Johnathon Ephram Sales and his dads name was Burton . What was your great grandmothers name ?
My aunt loved to buy photos old photos of people like you were talking about, Tipper. And my mom always thought her sister was crazy for buying antique photos of people she didn’t know or even know the names of! But I thought it was fascinating. It’s like looking back in time… well, it actually is. Old photos like that to me are sort of a time machine. It’s the closest we got to time travel thus far.
What an extraordinary collection of photos. I love history and, as a genealogist, I especially loved learning about the personal histories of these amazing people and this area. The photo of the hog hanging upside down reminded me of my great-grandfather. Every year during hog-killing time, he and my Dad would slaughter hogs and my great-grandfather would prepare the meat and put it in his smokehouse out back of his house. I have a photo just like that one of him and my Dad standing beside a hog hanging like that. It was taken outside my great-grandfather's house in the early 1940s.
You are an excellent interviewer, Tipper. You make people feel so relaxed that they can tell the stories they learned or experienced themselves. David gave lots of good information on each photo that made it interesting to hear. Thank you for sharing!
This video is a priceless record of these photos. So many photos are untitled and future generations have no idea who or where they are. Great. Video. God bless yall ♥️
Enjoyed this! The photos are awesome! I love the old photos that capture the past , seeing how things were, their dress, transportation, etc.... glad these photos were preserved .....thanks tipper...God bless....🙏❤
Since the Works Progress Administration (WPA) was formed in 1935, the men Gid photographed building the road just after World War I had to be employed by another agency. Nice to see all these pictures preserved and viewable both in-person and (in some cases) online.
One surefire way to tell if someone is a person of good character is if they show respect to those that have come before them and consideration of those that will come after them. Your channel does that and I for one appreciate the kind and caring spirit that you, your family and those that you interview show. The contempt and superficiality expressed in media today causes so much strife and enmity in our nation that it takes channels like yours calm my spirit and give me hope for the future. Thank you and God bless.
Thank you, Tipper and David! I really enjoyed this little trip through the past. The pictures are absolutely beautiful and getting to hear a name to go with the picture enhances it greatly! I did not grow up in Brasstown, but I've lived here for a few years now and absolutely love the community and people. I love that they have the Community Centers and display these old pictures. It's important to honor the past. The People of Brasstown, a very special place!
I love your videos and learning about history!! My family is from there. The Brasstown Valley Resort and Spa is where their homestead was and they owned all that! My Great Grandfather and his siblings sold off their plots of land for $99 an acre!! Inside the lodge is a museum of things collected from the homestead of the Keys family. They relocated in Suches Ga.
David is a wealth of information about the photos of the community people. It's so interesting to listen to the history of the Brasstown community & beyond. I love these interviews with the locals. Hugs!
Wonderful photographs! Glimpses of the past....like time travel. These are great!!! I hope that your sense of community is preserved along with the Brasstown Community Center! So much wonderful history!
I am the same way about old photos & records of time gone by. And the thought of anyone now being judgemental about people got by then amazes me. This is a great collection.
@@kenhartman7362 I’m just wondering why you are leaving the same message on most of the female’s comments on this video? 🤔 GO AWAY! This is not a dating site!
I love looking at old pictures and really loved the ones at the hog killing and hauling wood with the sled. People here in the Northwest Piedmont used to use sleds back then and I can remember us using them to haul tobacco from the field to the barn.
Absolutely wonderful presentation Tipper. Really puts things into prospective of how easy we live today. Mostly falsely were learning as fuel and food are killing us. Thanks so much for doing all you can to save your center. You are an angel for your community. Much love.
My grandfather and grandmother were Aubrey and Blonde Byers. They were the parents of Audrey, Joseph, Bob and Harry Byers. Audrey was my mother. Pearl was one of my aunts. Many of my favorite times were spending summers and holidays on Dog Branch. Thanks for taking the time to create this video.
I love old pictures too thanks for sharing I listened to hear if I'd heard of anyone my parents had mention . My parents new alot of people I bet they new some of these.
Hi Tipper, I’m in central Ky and a bit older than you are, I grew up living a life not unlike yours and I very much appreciate you reviving memories, although different people and places, it’s still strangely the same
With the introduction of cell phone cameras, I wonder how much longer we'll have wonderful photographs anymore. Nothing wrong with cell phone images, I just hope people remember to pull out a regular camera from time to time, take a photo, and after it's developed, mark it with the date, names of subjects in it and place it was taken. Who know but what ancestors down the road years from now will treasure it.
I too love old photos. There is a dignity and gracefulness in so many of them. My grandmother left me so many and we sat down and she wrote on the back of them so I could pass that history on. Thank you for highlighting the importance of family, community and history.
I enjoyed looking at the old pictures and hearing about their history. I have double first cousins too. My dad's brother married my mom's sister. Thanks for the interesting video :)
Was looking at the photos and remembering what Grandma said about the white shirts how hard it was to get them clean and they only wore them for special times like with a photo taken that was it for the white shirt then going into the closet to stay clean and white!!!
As always love you and your daughter's channel! I was hoping you guys would make a video tonight so I can sit and watch it we got everything ready for the barbecue send a steer off to The butchers so I get a whole half to put on the spit for the elderly and the handicapped so it should be a good barbecue here at the ranch your daughter put up a nice video today it was super great what a cutie she is already God bless 👍👍
I love this video ! The picture with wallace sales is neat . Hes my relative . Well all the sales's are my kin . Ive gotta get out there and see this photo collection.
So interesting!! Life looks like it was so hard back then. Children were mostly barefooted. And clothes worn til they were thread bare. Tough life made for tough people - kudos for a job well done!
My mother in-laws father would have been a brother to David's father his name was Buck so seeing the photos of the Anderson was great remember her talking about them so seeing some of them was great
We all are going back in time right now !!! I know this and it is sad for all in the World !!! Remember stone soup where you had some nice Stones to put into a pot and everyone put something into the pot someone might have a soup bone someone might have a vegs. or spuds to put into the pot !!! All in all it is maybe a group of people that would get a bowl of soup for themselves then to sip or eat it would have the flavor in it with some thickening for it !!! I pray this doesn't really happen but am thinking of what it is for children and parents to live through!!! You will be tired on out from the work that is unless from cock rising to sun setting at night !!!
When you travel over the smokey mountain into northeast Tennessee we have lots of Anderson families living in washington,unicoi, carter and hawkins counties. I have Anderson bloodlines on both sides of my mom's parents lines. My mom's parent's were Joseph Lester Jones and Mary Blanche (Loudy) Jones.
Also on my grandma Mary Blanche (Loudy) Jones side I have both anderson and Hughes bloodlines from carter and Washington counties in northeast Tennessee from back in late 1700's into early 1800's. They were some of first settlers to cross the western nc mountains to settle into Northeast Tennessee.
My grandpa and his youngest brother photographed the gold mining operations around Dahlonega, Georgia in the early 1900's. Everyone wonders what happened to the photos. They sold them to make money. We don't have any of the photos at all. However, if you go to Dahlonega, Georgia and see a historic photo from the early 1900's, it was most likely taken by my grandfather. On a side note, one time my mom's oldest first cousin showed me a picture of my grandpa's 2 brothers and 2 other gentlemen from the community at a moonshine still. I asked my cousin why my grandpa wasn't in the picture. She said, "Who do you think made the picture?"
What an interesting face George washington Anderson,has, I love all of them n especially the ones with their dawgs, just yummy, thank youTipper n dAVID hugs n smiles. :))
I don't want to be critical but the WPA didn't start until 1935. It was part of FDR's New Deal. Either Gid was cooking for some else or it was in the mid 30s or early 40s.

My andersons and duggers were some of the moonshine makers from up in Johnson and Carter counties in northeast tennessee.
My grandpa and his youngest brother photographed the gold mining operations around Dahlonega, Georgia in the early 1900's. Everyone wonders what happened to the photos. They sold them to make money.

I saw a story on UA-cam once about a guy in Appalachia who till today makes those horse drawn sleds
That is great 😀
Today the fashion is to wear the caps back to front. Wonder what the fashion was back when some of those photos were taken ?
I don't want to be critical but the WPA didn't start until 1935. It was part of FDR's New Deal. Either Gid was cooking for some else or it was in the mid 30s or early 40s.
Not critical at all Papaw 😀 Maybe David meant he worked as a cook later on (years later) after he returned from the war 😀
