This one made me recall: As a teenager I played guitar for our neighbor Edith Kiser to sing specials in church. Her son Richard asked me tp teach him chords on his guitar. I taught him the song "Freight Train" and after several months of him playing it all the time, my Mon told me "Please teach that Kiser boy a new song". He is now the famous Gospel Finger-style Guitarist, Richard Kiser, who travels across the nation in a large bus from church to church.

Cool!
This part puts to mind that Jim Croce song: You Don't Mess Around With Jim. 🤣
The guitar playing 🎸song bird at the, lively, tiny store can win the school teacher's heart. Thank you Tipper for your wonderful reading, again, this week !
Loving this book... I think Guy was a bully and got put in his place, earning the respect from the community...
Thanks Tipper☺👍
I just love that you read these books and I enjoy it so much. I like to listen to the playlists when I am spending a long day in the kitchen making and baking or prepping and canning. It makes the work seem easier. I'm enjoying this one as much as the others. Both sides of my grandparents are from Greenup, my youngest daughter lives there and it's not too awful far from where I live. Thank you Tipper for the smiles and laughter you bring with the chapters you're reading.
Glad you enjoy it!
O my goodness I just adore this I sure appreciate you reading to us
Talking about people getting entertainment from fighting Tipper. I'm reminded about a man my dad told me about, during WW2, when he was 14, called John Ferris, a Scotsman, who was a soldier in British special forces, fighting the Japanese in the jungle of Burmah. On his R&R he would stay with my grandparents, as he had no family to go home to, but he would spend all his money on drink, and being broke, he would convince my grandad to take him down to the docks in Belfast ( my grandad drove a small local bus, a taxi really) where he would bare knuckle fight for money. Having made up his short fall, he would give the money to my granny for safe keeping, and ask her to only give him an allowance for the remainder of his R&R in case he blew it all again. After the war he married a local girl nearby, and his grave is next but one to my grandparents, and my dad.
I got to meet Jesse Stuart at his home when I was 10. It was truly a cool experience.
I loved the fight and how he won. The turn around Guy made after he got whipped. Jesse got respect and a possible bride lol. This is going to be a good book. Thanks Tipper.
Love this story it reminds me of my great grandmother’s youth. Oh the story’s she would tell she was 100 years young when she went home to the Lord. The way you read the story it’s like I’m there. Thanks Tipper. Mamma always said there’s always a bigger fish. It’s true education opens the world up to a body. Not to mention being able to read the good book. Blessings and peace to y’all.
This is the best book, you've ever read. He had to fight, so he could continue teaching there. Have a wonderful weekend, hope your garden is doing well. Hugs from Louisville Kentucky. Tell your family hi.
Pretty as a speckled pup!! That instantly made me smile...I think that is sooo stinkin cute!!!!❤
Butch tells me “I’m like a shiny penny” meaning cute as a speckled pup. ❤
Jesse Stuart was one of my daddy’s favorite authors. It was something special we shared. Jesse was a fellow Kentuckian. Love this story.
The fight at the school reminds me of story my father would tell me about something that happened when he was in school. My grandparents were poor and had 11 kids. My dad was the oldest and rarely had the books he needed for school. This particular year he managed to have two ragged school books and one of the wealthier, big strapping boys made fun of my dad's books and threw them out the second story window. That made my dad mad enough that he hit the boy and broke his nose. Dad got sent to the principal and when asked why he hit the boy, dad said the boy had made fun of the books he worked so hard to get. The principal just told my dad that he guessed that fellow would think better of doing that again and let dad go. Times were different back then.
Well Tipper, I'm glad that Mr. Stewart won the fight but I'm a person that don't cotton to fighting. I will say I'm glad Jesse cleaned Guy's face up though.
My dad was a whip with math. He could always figure things like volumes out before most anyone else. He was a hulking big man at 6' 4 in and 298 lbs. It took 10 strong men to carry his coffin from the church to the cemetery which was only a few hundred feet from the front door of the church. He never fought not one fight but he never backed down from one either. It feels good to remember my big ole daddy.
😊💞 you need to do an audible
Tipper so funny you chose this book, my brother gave me this book to read back in the winter. ❤
I just borrowed it from the library this week so I could read it. I love Tipper's voice reading it. It is a great book.
Thank you, Tipper for readng to us. ❤
I love to hear you read. My husband asks me throughout the week if Tipper has uploaded a new reading, and I remind him of the schedule. We look forward to each new upload. This book is so interesting.
You look beautiful ❤️ I love the purple/plum colour of your dress
Thank you so much!!
She really pops in the spring green background ❣️
Jesse Stuart attended Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) which is right down the road from me. It was there that he met S.C. Hobbs who became principal of the high school where I attended. Mr. Stuart was the guest speaker at a graduation at our school in the early 1960s. His book “Daughter of the Legend” is especially popular in our area because it deals with prejudice toward the Melungeons of East Tennessee, of which I am descended.
Thank you Tipper looking forward to next friday . Have a blessed weekend stay safe .
From the time I was very young, I had a weight problem and was shy. I guess, for bullies, I looked like easy pickins, and I was constantly teased and hurt. When I was in 5th grade, I got the nerve to try out for chorus and got in. The music teacher liked my voice, and she asked me to sing a solo for an upcoming performance. I was so scared, but she finally convinced me to do it.
After I sang, my whole school life changed! Kids who once had poked me with straight pins as I walked from class to class, then came up to me and wanted to be friends. Others who had called me names, now wanted me to sit with them at lunch and befriended me.
I was so confused by the startling change and talked to my grandma about it. She told me that that's how it is when people find out you have a talent. They all suddenly want to be your friend.
She also told me that only with time would I come to know who was true and who was not. She was so right! My experience kind of puts me in mind of what happened to Jesse after winning his fight with Guy Hawkins.
Really enjoying this book so far. Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend. Hugs from the south east coast of Florida. 😎🌴🐠🌴😎
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕👣
He seems to be genuinely interested in educating the entire community.
I can just see Nancy sitting on the porch playing her guitar.
Can't wait to what comes next.
Thank you! You just bring these stories to life!
Glad you enjoy it!
That fight reminded me so much of the fights my daddy would tell his father( my grandfather) would have after selling tobacco at Fairmont NC. My grandfather would sometimes have a little liquor especially after selling tobacco. Money in your pocket and liquor sometimes doesn't mix well. My dad told about fights his daddy would get into and how they had to flee the area to stop his daddy. Of course daddy always laughed about it. I agree that fighting was some sort of entertainment back then
Thank you for your reading. I really do enjoy. Sending love to you and your family and especially to Granny.
Thank you Tipper! I love all the books you have read to us. That fight was something!! You could almost feel the blows.Glad ithat fight is over!! Hopefully Guy won't bully anyone anymore!
Great video and reading thank you for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am a teacher, so this story draws me in. I always chose the younger grades because I liked being taller than my students. I am short. I cannot imagine teaching a class with adults and children. It's A wonder that they got teachers there at all with that bunch. Thanks for reading to us again.
Loved this chapter as well. Jesse was a thoughtful determined person so he fought that way.
Wow! I can't imagine having to fight a student, but I do believe a lot of the bullying today is a result of good kids not being allowed to put troublemakers in their place at an early age.
The fight was described in such detail, and generally I don't like fighting, but I listened with fascination. It was so well written.
Loving the new book, Tipper! Great choice.
I love every bit of this book , I can paint a picture in my mind of the old school , the barefoot students , everything , thank you very much for the reading .
Hahaha 😆 Grandpa alway said "cute as a speckled pup."
What a great book! Thanks for sharing this with us. You read so eloquently and you make it seem like we right there in the story. Looking forward to the next episode!!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you Tipper...i love listening to you read these wonderful books! I feel like i am there
Glad you like them!
Really enjoying the book reading. The teacher fight reminded me of my daddy telling me about three mean brothers who were his cousins. They were near the same age and would fight each other with rags wrapped around their left hands until their hands touched. Then they would beat each other with the other fist until one's hand came loose from the rag.
Great book.
Tipper I really love all of the books you read, but the fight scene I could just see it!! ❤❤
Thanks Tipper sounds like another great book God bless ❤
Another great video and we will be sending the prayer warriors for granny. God bless !
Thanks so much
I’m really enjoying this reading. I’m from near Winchester KY which is the 4:26 4:30 first town east of Lexington on I-64 going toward West Virginia. The dialect is very familiar although I was taught to speak “properly” by my native KY grandmother lol. Winchester is often said to be in the Appalachian foothills which I think is a bit of a stretch. I no longer live there and often miss it. Great memory’s of a country upbringing.
I love that speckled puppy comment too! 😊 I am very much looking forward to what happens next. I want to find out how the matchmaking goes. 😁
Thank you Tipper for this story. I can't wait for the next reading. My mom listens to y'all now. She can't see enough to subscribe. Her being in Florida and I live in Upstate NY. So I share every video with her. She says she loves your voice and that you can really sing. Lord bless you and yourn. ❤
That is so sweet! Thank you and please tell her hello and I appreciate her!
When you said wait until Fridays reading, you were not kidding! Wow! Did not expect that! Hanging on every word Tipper. ❤️thank you🥰
Enjoying the stories of everyday people.
This is looking to be a great story!
I really like this story book and the way you read it is perfect 👍🏻
Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed getting to sit part on this reading. Had troubles going on for the last book and didn't get to hear. So glad to be here for this one! Thank you Tipper!
Tipper, you are so sweet to read to us 💜🤍🖤💚
Hello Tipper... I don't always comment but I sure watch a lot! I'm enjoying this book. As a teacher... Thank you for these great reads! Have a Blessed weekend.
So glad you enjoy them!
Great Story, Tipper! Thank you 😊
another problem with my fingers and a keyboard(!)... about the Foxfire Books. I mean't to say that I didn't discover them until the early 1980s not the late '80s. I used to subscribe to the Foxfire magazine, too, but that fell by the wayside at some point...Anyway, thanks again, Tipper. I'm looking forward to next Friday's reading. Myra
I love this book! Thank you Tipper for taking time to read these books!😊❤️Regina

A wonderful reading, thank you so much Tipper.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm loving this book. Thanks for doing the readings. 🙂
I just made your homemade Pizza Dough & used the square Stone to bake it on
Soooo good
I love your channel & watch you guys often
I love your stories
Enjoyed this chapter…. and boy what a fight. I can’t stand to see people fight but I’m glad Guy got his come-upins. Looking forward to next week! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
❤❤Loved this.. you make it very interesting.
Excellent Tipper. Thank you for reading. You picked a good one.
You are so welcome
Thanks I'm enjoying this.😊
Glad you enjoy it!
Love book Friday Thank you
You are so welcome!
I enjoyed your readin the story. It was really interesting! I'm lookin forward to hearing more of the story.
I'm really enjoying this book.
Tried to comment earlier but hit some wrong key and wiped it all out. Aggravating! Anyway, wanted to say how much I love this book and your reading of it. Just seems right. I've got a lot of catching up to do on your past readings but look forward to all of them. I love historical books of this time frame both non-fiction and fiction. Got hooked on Sharyn McCrumb's Ballad series back in 1991 and also love Wilma Dykeman and CC Tillery and, of course, The Foxfire Books (which I didn't discover until the late 1980s). Enjoyed Jojo Moyes book, The Giver of Stars, and also The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and its sequel. The list goes on but just wanted to thank you for introducing me - and probably other readers of Celebrating Appalachia - to books we might never have learned about. You are so appreciated, Tipper.
Thank you 😊
This book is so interesting! We look forward to hearing you read every week! Thank you for sharing these videos!
You are so welcome!
I think that maybe the teacher taught that kid a lesson, by tannin his hide, one that he wouldn't soon forget. Maybe that helped him to respect his teacher after that. I'm lookin forward to hearin more of the book.
Oh my goodness, I cannot wait for the next reading! To echo some, I absolutely love that color on you. It's splendid!
Back on topic, my momma always had to watch for me getting into fights. She assumed I was a bully, I was not, but I did protect the little kids while in school. Somehow, the school never told her why I was fighting, just that I was. She always cautioned me about "Running into a bigger and badder Jesse James". Sounds like Jesse was the biggest Jesse 😆.
I never started a fight, but I for sure finished my share...and your share, and his share, and their's as well. Just because I am 5, a female, and you are nearly 13 doesn't matter. If you yank their hair 1 more time, I will show you how it hurts! Sorry I left your permanent teeth on the floor of the bus, you should have thought twice about what you were planning.
Needless to say, I spent a lot of my youth on the short bus because I had absolutely no problem with the handicapped children.
My dad would say she was as pretty as a new born pig and as sweet as honey i sure miss my dad hope everyone is doing well and God bless you all
Love that!
Wow, I love this book. I just keep thinking about that big ole boy giving his teacher, a young girl a beating complete with two black eyes. How could anyone in his community stand for him beating on a woman? They must have been afraid of him. Maybe it’s a Western thing but doing that to a woman could get a man hung dead out here back in those days. I can see why Jesse felt like he needed to set things straight. Jesse seems to have the makings of a good man. I think the guitar playing gal might have been flirting with Jesse. 😂. Have a great weekend! TeresaSue
Good job ❤❤❤❤
Thanks 😆
Just found your channel. All the way from Worksop Nottinghamshire England Uk .Got plenty of viewing to catch up love that fiddle playing all the the best from over the pond.
Welcome and thank you for watching!!
I think the townspeople didn't bond with him was because they figured he would be gone soon, so why bother.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Sounds like Jessy will wind up with Nancy Cochran.
Could someone tell me what a "foot log" is? Thanks!
😊 it is a log that has been laid across a creek so that you can cross without getting wet. Often the top part is leveled off some to make it flatter and easier to walk 😊
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you for explaining. I'm a city gal. ☺
