- #appalachianhistory #americanhistory #appalachia #donnielaws The Wilderness Road and Cumberland Gap were the gate way to the west back in the pioneer days of settling this country. The Native Americans name for Kentucky was KAINTUCKEE (a place of meadows). There is so much history that has pass through this old road. I can only touch on pieces of it with this short home made production story. Thanks for watching. God Bless. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE:: LIKE AND SHARE:: HELP GROW YOUR CHANNEL.

My GGGGrandfather was a Confederate and joined the NC 62nd Infantry which was assigned to defend Cumberland Gap. In the July 1863 skirmish, his left arm was shot off. Unable to to load his gun, he returned to Watauga County NC and became a 'carrying man' (postman with rural route). Thanks for the history and wonderful old photos. Researching the old photos must have taken a lot of your time but outcome was well worth it. Great video. Blessings...
WOW that's amazing my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you.
Salute to your great grandpaw! ....I had a number of 1st cousins, 3 and 4 times removed, who served in the 62nd North Carolina Infantry and was at Cumberland Gap. One cousin was Captain of Co. G, of the 62nd.
@@jojokrako7818 There's a good chance they knew each other. Old Ashe County was sparsely populated for most of 2 centuries and almost every one were either kin or knew each other. A lot of my folks ran for the hills after that little debacle at Alamance between the British and the Regulators .
@@TennValleyGal They may have known each other, and it's possible that we could have some common folks, generations back. Most of my folks were in Virginia through the 17th century. I had several ancestors in the Revolutionary War that had gotten land grants in both Carolinas, with most settling in the Old Buncombe County area in the 1790's. The bulk of my lineages are from Buncombe, Haywood, Jackson, and Transylvania Counties, NC..... and some from upstate SC(Pickens, Greenville, Anderson, Oconee Counties). They migrated into northeast Georgia from the 1820's through the 1840's.

If I was a teacher I would want you to come to my class and go over our history with your pictures and knowledge. Reading a book is one thing. Seeing it and hearing it from a person is so much more interesting. Thanks for these videos. So much knowledge that is slowly being lost.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. I would love to. God bless you.
All too True.
Donnie you have a gift for explaning history. If kids in school had you for a teacher
They would be looking forward to your class.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. I really appreciate that. God bless you.
I couldn't agree more!
I love our heritage ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Mr. Laws...have a blessed day my hillbilly neighbor !!!
Awesome my friend. Your very welcome. God bless you.
Been through there a month ago to show my grandson on our way to the Outer Banks from Iowa. We went through the tunnel twice.
We pulled over at a lookout & a local man was showing it to some friends. We got to talking & guess who's name came up?
"DONNY LAWS!"
"YES!"
We both love listening to your videos 😊.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. God bless you my friend.
All the hours you put in making these history lessons are so very appreciated. Thank you and I can't wait till the next story.
Thank you so much for saying this my friend. I really appreciate. God bless you. Glad you enjoy them. Thank you. Your very welcome.
I grew up and live about 1 mile from Daniel Boone's birthplace and homestead in PA.
His story is remarkable when you think of the reality of cutting a trail through wilderness. A cut on your skin could cause sepsis. Animal predation. Poisonous plants and insects. Keeping dry, Creating shelters from the elements, cooking food, etc.
He couldn't send scouts ahead to set up camp in advance of his arrival.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Makes me wonder if one of my great grandfathers didn't take this road. He and his family walked from Philadelphia to Southern VA. His youngest son (my line) was taken by the Shawnee in a raid on their Grist mill
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend.
you're so fortunate to continue your line... amazing history of yours, peace... kind regards
I love history, especially
American. I can only
imagine what the settlers
of this land and others would think of our modern world. I enjoyed
this lesson on the Gap very much.
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome.
Thank you, Donnie, for making history interesting and for keeping it's people and places alive.
God 🙏 🙏 🙏 bless.
Awesome Donnie. History is great. Your narration is excellent.
Thank you so much my friend.
Hello from Vermont! You truly have one of the very best channels on CZcams. 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you. Thank you.
Thank you Donnie for another enjoyable history lesson.
It's a pity that you wasn't my history teacher back when I was growing up,you take all your viewers on a journey in the past like no other story teller can do .
Have a blessed weekend my friend ,already looking forward to your wild life video on Monday.
Many thanks to you.
God bless you.

I couldn't agree with you more🤗
I love being connected to this history and really enjoyed this video! Thanks Donnie 😎👍
Awesome my friend. So glad you enjoyed it. God bless you. Your very welcome.
My wife always tells me I should have been a history teacher. People don't know our history well enough to understand what our ancestors went through to entrust us to keep this country. Americans just want to be left alone to do what we love. That's what the Founder's wanted. Not the bloated overreaching goobermint in Washington DC.
I spent many hours underground in Pulaski, Wayne, and Carter counties, caving. Always wanted a little piece of Kentucky to call my own. Love it there. Thanks for the history lessons Donnie.
Awesome my friend. That's so true. Thanks for sharing this my friend. God bless you.
One of the greatest historians and story tellers in the country. Thank you Donnie!
WOW Thanks for saying my friend. Your very welcome.

Hi Donnie, thank you for another wonderful video. History certainly is fascinating ❤ sad that so many souls are buried under that road. Love from Scotland in the UK xx
Hello my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you.
Back in school, history bored me. Donnie, you should have been a teacher. All your postings on history have yet to loose my attention!! Believe me, that's a high compliment! God bless!
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. Thank you.
Mr. Laws, I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed this wonderful video. Thank you so much, God bless.
Awesome my friend. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you. Your very welcome.
Thank you, Donnie. I can see my Grandaddies parents working their way through these areas in my mind when I'm listening to your very tender narration. You connect me to a home that I barely know but am drawn to more and more, every single day. I can't thank you enough. ❤
Awesome my friend. Your very welcome. Thanks for sharing this.
I love the history videos the best! You narrate them so well. The music is amazing too. Thank you for reminding us how very fortunate we are to live in a country where our ancestors forged the way and sacrificed so much. This country was built on sacrifice, hard work and dedication. God bless you Mr. Donnie.
Amen my friend. That's so true. Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome.
I truly enjoyed this Donnie. Thank you for keeping Our History alive. Seems like this Country is striving for our children to forget this. We need to know where we came from to focus on where we are going.
Thanks for sharing this my friend. Your very welcome. God bless you.
Wonderful history lesson. Thanks so much for sharing Donnie!
Thank you friend. Glad you enjoyed it. Your very welcome.

Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome.
I love these stories so much. Thanks Donnie.
Your very welcome my friend. Thank you.
Hi Donnie, I have got to learn more about the Cumberland gap and the wilderness trail. Thank you for sharing this video. It is amazing to think of the sacrifices that our ancestors made settling this country.
Hello my friend. Thanks for sharing this. So much history.
Thank you for sharing this history with us Mr.Laws. I really enjoy the wonderful photos. God bless you, my friend
Awesome my friend. Your very welcome. Thank you.
I love listening and learning new things. You are fantastic at telling them.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for saying this. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Thank you, very interesting. Although the early settlers endured much hardship, it must have been a great adventure for them exploring into a new unknown land. I can understand the Indians fighting back, they must have foreseen their land being taken away from them bit by bit
Thanks for sharing this my friend. Your very welcome.
Thanks for another great taste of history, brother Donnie! I always enjoy all of your presentations. Col. Daniel Boone, by the way, is my 8th cousin, 7 times removed. Shabbat Shalom, brother, and shavua tov (have a great week)! G-d bless you and yours!
WOW that's awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. A great man. God bless you.
I went through Cumberland Gap last month and my thoughts were on the early days of settlers and what they must have endured. Thank you for the history lessons.
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
Donnie' thank you for sharing the History of Cumberland Gap with us.I enjoyed it very much.God Bless you all.
Your very welcome my friend. God bless you.
This was one of the best Documentaries I've seen in a long time. I love this part of the country. Keep up the good work!
Thank you friend. I really appreciate it.
From a big city Northerner .... very nice work, I always enjoy your historical videos. Thanks for all the work.
Awesome my friend. Thank you very much. God bless you.
Another great job brother Donnie sharing this valuable history with us. Blessings to you in Jesus name.
Thank you friend. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Great video Mr. Donnie I love hearing all the history. Take care and God bless ♥️
Awesome my friend. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you. Your very welcome.
Thank you so much Donnie for all your countless hours of research that you put in to tell our history of our Appalachia country! Have a blessed day and safe labor day weekend!
Your very welcome my friend. I really appreciate that. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Wow! I absolutely love this history lesson Mr Laws! My oh my, I give all those pioneers and settlers a lot of credit! They saw their dreams ahead & they went after them! Blessings always! ❤️✝️
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Glad you enjoy them.
@@donnielaws7020 I absolutely love watching them!! ❤️✝️
Great historical narration, Donnie. I'll take a ride to the first historical fort marker near Sycamore Shoals S.P. in Elizabethton, TN. after which, on Roan Mountain S.P. TN to stretch my legs on a trail. Thank you so very much, and all of us viewers look forward to the next video
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Glad you enjoy them. God bless you. Take care my friend.
Have you heard of Estill's Defeat near Mt. Sterling, Kentucky? My ancestor Adam Caperton was killed in a battle with the Indians during that skirmish. Wyandots raided a pioneer fort as a result were being pursued by Captain Estill's militia. At some point in the pursuit the Wyandots stood and fought ultimately driving Estill's militia from the field of battle. Estill also died in that battle.
Awesome my friend. I heard a little about it. Great history there. Thanks for sharing this.
Would you be related to the Capertons in Louisville? We have a Capertons Swamp, and late !800's into early 1900's there was a Caperton Ranch in southern Jefferson County that comprised about 1000 acres.
It seems all Capertons are related. If you have a name I can look up in the book "The Caperton Family" by Bernard M. Caperton. The book was reprinted by the Caperton Society in 2010. My Caperton family migrated after Estill's Defeat from Kentucky down into Franklin County Tennessee with some going into the bordering county of Jackson County, Alabama. Adam Caperton who was killed by the Indians had a son named John Caperton who went south into Tennessee and Alabama. This is my line. The Caperton family was large and scattered all over the United States. Thanks for asking the question.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Thanks again Donnie, this video, for me just extends some of the Ohio history that I have been brought up with. I am from Darke Co. OH. where Fort Greenville now known as just Greenville is located. Tecumseh and Blue Jacket just 2 of the more known named Indians had visited and signed a treaty there. But so many of the smaller forts in that area like Loramie, Recovery, Jefferson, Shawnee and Wayne (just a few of them). I love our history even though only about 300 yrs. are the extent of it. I have since moved into N. KY. for the last 11 years and find it amazing how the history from 90 miles north of here influences this local history as well. I really enjoy all of your content and look forward every time you put something new out. Keep them coming my friend...
WOW that's awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Hi, Donnie..That was a great video. I really enjoyed it. The pictures were great, too. I live in Oregon now. I am a student of history, and have learned a lot about who and what was behind the Civil War as well as the wars to follow. Believe me, it's not what you learn in school. Much more complicated and dark. I am curious to know what you know from experience or from hearing about it, the history of cryptids in Kentucky. We have Bigfoot and Dogman here, and from what I am hearing, they are pretty much all over this country now.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. The truth is out there no matter the subject. Most of it is not in any book. Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Like I have said before, I’ve learned more History on your channel Donnie than I ever did in school. This was a fantastic video. I admire what the pioneers and our ancestors accomplished! Hardworking people with the characteristics of explorers, adventurers,so brave. I Love history . Donnie thank you!.✌️❤️💫
WOW Thanks so much for sharing this my friend. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you. Your very welcome.
You have such a gift💜 and you've created such a beautiful community here. What an honor to be part of it.
WOW Thanks so much for saying this my friend. Thank you very much. God bless you.
To be perfectly honest I never cared for history while in school but I learn so much from you and enjoy it. Take care! 😊🙏🏼❤️🍁🌻🍂
WOW Thanks so much for sharing this my friend. Thank you.
Had my history teachers taught the way you do, I would have paid closer attention...like your telling us a story as we sit around the fire! Now I know the importance of Cumberland Gap and all the lost lives along there. I love learning here, thank you Mr. Donnie!!!
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
I really enjoyed your video, thank you! What a great history lesson. Have a good holiday weekend and God bless you and your family.
Awesome my friend. God bless you. Have good one my friend.
That was a great history lesson. Really loved it. Thanks for sharing, Donnie,Blessings,❤.
Thanks so much my friend. Glad you enjoy them. God bless you. Your very welcome.
Very, very well done sir. Thank you for putting it out for the world to see. I wish every student were required to learn more about the gap. This video would be an excellent place for them to begin. Many famous people traveled through the gap. Even the British “ hair buyer” general was transported back through the gap upon capture. The park has reconstructed the gap trail. You can actually take a short walk and stand in the old gap that so many traveled through.
Thank you so much my friend. Thanks for sharing this history with us. Glad you enjoyed it..
There are some fine historic photos shared in this video. Thank you.
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
Wow this is so wonderful 😊 thank you so much for this wonderful video.i love you so very much dear friend..
Awesome my friend. Thank you so much. Your very welcome.
That was amazing, Donnie. So interesting to know this history. You should be a history teacher in the schools. Everyone should know this. 💞
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. Thank you very much.
Amazing history sharing Donnie...I know much of it from school and a great love for history and like you said there is so much history that goes so deep... Absolutely appreciate you sharing today's adventures into the old history. Have a blessed weekend my friend...May the Lord bless and keep you😇🇺🇸😊🙏
Glad you enjoyed it my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. Your very welcome.
I've been through the Cumberland Gap a couple of times----it's magical and beautiful for sure. Great video, Donnie! The "main" road right through the Ohio Village I live in, Route 68, Runs all through South to North, was originally one of the Buffalo Trails, then Shawnee used it as a road too. I really resonate with your history lesson this morning . Thank you.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. Your very welcome.
This was incredible Donnie. The amount of effort put into this video is very impressive. Thanks for the content every week and sharing Appalachian history with us all.
Awesome my friend. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much. Your very welcome. God bless you.
Great video my friend! God bless you.
Thank you very much my friend.
Thanks Donnie for another great history lesson and the time it took for you to put this together. I would someday like to take the old Wilderness Road / Trail. Since I watched Fess Parker as Daniel Boone as a kid I've been looking in to the life of the real man. Did you know that since exploring was in his blood that he and his party came to Florida and walked from St. Augustine to Pensacola? A good video was made by Two Egg TV I believe its called "Daniel Boone Walk Across Florida ". Have a great Labor Day weekend friend.
That would be awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Thank you so much for these wonderful history videos Donnie! I always learn so very much from them! When I was a child, the number one show on TV was Daniel Boone. I spent many a night dreaming of hunting, fishing and fighting the bad guys with Daniel and Mingo and the Cumberland Gap was a wonderland to me! (But not to my very City of Atlanta-raised Momma who didn't understand why a girl would want to go hunting!) I did eventually start hunting and fishing, but because of my Momma's illness, I stayed in the Georgia mountains, close to home. Now, you have made it a wonderland for me once again! Are the old roads that paved the original gap trail still completely open? Sounds like a road trip to me! I can't wait! I also hate interstate highways! Would really love to see where they were, even though I know it has changed.
Just so you know, I go to the Cherokee pow wows when I get a chance. Years ago, my old Cherokee elder, who was a storyteller at these events, once told a story about Boone and the Kentucky land deal that he made with the Cherokee. This elder, who spoke Cherokee from birth, tried that chief's name a few times, shook his head and said 'even MY elders aren't sure how to say this name! So we just gonna call him the 'Wise Chief' alright?" to peels of laughter from his audience, both visitors and Natives! At least you got it spelled out! No shame there my friend!
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend. Thank you. Your very welcome.
Fascinating story Mr. Donnie. Thank you.
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
Thank you Donnie for a great history lesson. Keep up the good work!
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
Thank you for sharing with us. It is always very interesting. I truely enjoy learning more about our real history. God bless you and your family sir..🙏❤🙏❤🙏
Your very welcome my friend. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much. God bless you.
I remember sitting out on my mammaw's porch and I could see that mountain range...I miss her so much.😢
Thanks for another interesting video Donnie, I always enjoy your stories x
Ypu very welcome my friend. Glad you like them! Thank you.
Remember going to cudjos cave as a boy before the tunnel was built great memories
Awesome my friend. I have video on the cave. Look in the mountain Culture playlists on the channel
Thanks for sharing.
@@donnielaws7020 I will check it out thank you
Thanks Donnie. I discovered your videos doing a bit of research before my stay at the Olde Mill Inn, then I hiked the Gap, and then the 3-State Mt. the next day. I had read about Daniel Boone in my childhood, and done some exploring as I drove down US11 the day before. It is a magical, historic place . . . that your videos help folks appreciate.
Key point that might help folks appreciate is the best, settleable, farmable land near the Atlantic Coast and navigable lands along the rivers (in PA, DE, VA, etc, etc.) . . . had already been claimed by the families that came to America in the late 1600's and early 1700's. Newcomers and not-1st-born sons who wanted their own land -- good farming land in valley's -- had to go West. Kaintuck was the first of many, many western migrations that built this country (and forced natives off).
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. Glad you enjoy them. Its beautiful country for sure with so much history. Your very welcome.
Mr. Laws thank you for sharing the rich history of this beautiful land. Our nation has forgotten how the early settlers had to work and strive for every inch for our country's existence. This is where it all started for my family many, many moons ago. My hat is off to you Sir.
Your very welcome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you.
Awesome history Donnie thanks buddy 🙏🏻🇺🇸👍
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
So cool that people are interested in the paths and ways our forebears came into the country. Including the Vincennes Trace where I hike almost every day. Initially a buffalo then a native path, it was used by the French trappers and then the Anglos once they arrived in the Midwest, extending from present-day Chicago to Fort Vincennes and the Ohio Country. Including Kentucky.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my friend.
Very interesting video. Thank you.
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
Always enjoy your history lessons, Donnie, Bless weekend
Thank you so much my friend.
Hello Donnie and family 👪 yes I bet that wilderness road definitely can tell a story about earlier history of your country really enjoyed watching and listening to your channel all the best and God bless Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing this my friend. So much history that's for sure.
Awesome story!! Thank you !! I learned a little. You and your wife have a wonderfully blessed weekend! 😊
Thank you friend. God bless you. Have a great weekend.
Thank you Mr. Donnie. You make history spring to life. I feel like a time traveler passing through sitting at my grandpa’s knee around the fireplace or at the kitchen table. You are a masterful and gifted storyteller in league with Mark Twain, Garrison Keillor, and Paul Harvey. What a remarkable legacy you leave, each video is a treasured, priceless piece of art. What a gem, thank you from the depths of our hearts. ❤️ We salute you Sir 🫡
WOW I thank you so much for saying this my friend. God bless you. I really appreciate that. So glad you enjoy them. Your most very welcome my friend.
Thanks for sharing. During childhood, I would take long walks through those forests and over those mountains. On the ridgetop, it seemed like they went on forever into the West, ridge after ridge disappearing into the blue over the horizon.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Wow that was so interesting. I presume it is where we get the saying "being on the warpath" from. I am not up on American history, not very up on my own, but I found it fascinating. The picture of the war clubs surprised me as due to the American film industry, I believed they only had bow and arrows. I look forward to another history video from you. Thanks Donnie.
Awesome my friend. So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome.
I truly loved this video. I love all of your historical videos.
Awesome my friend. I'm so glad you enjoy them. God bless you. Thank you.
My late husband's family was with Daniel Boone when he broke the wilderness trail. He always wanted to see it but cancer took him.
I love your stories, you keep me company when I'm working.
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this my friend. God bless you. So sorry for your loss.
Thank you for all your time in doing these videos ❤❤❤
Went through Cudjo’s cave with my big brother back in the mid 60’s and bought souvenirs at that shop. Wow. Miss those times. Thanks Donnie!😊
Thank you friend for sharing your memories. God bless you. Your very welcome.
This is real history that must never be forgotten. Thabk you for the awesome history lesson.
