Thank you. My father was born in 1909 and he farmed with many different mules. He had a lot of stories about those mules. The barns are amazing! That sled is huge! I appreciate your eye for the small details and the close ups of them. Wow, that roof on the hay barn. This is the first video I have seen of yours but I'm sure it will not be the last. Thank you also to the Anderson family for allowing their homestead to be filmed.
Here in eastern Kentucky we always used northern red oak for tobacco sticks because they wouldn't break. We always cut the best tree we could find, and always used cuts with no knots. The rest of the tree that was to knottie for making sticks was cut into fire wood. Also in the early days instead of bailing the tobacco we would take as many leaves as we could hold in our hand and take the longest leaf we could find and wrap it around it and tie it into hands
So informative and interesting!! It’s a tragedy that buildings aren’t made this way anymore. Super impressive!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!
When I was in middle school and high school my family raised 80000 pounds of burley tobacco every year in eastern Kentucky. So I know more about it than I wanted to
Just found you today and have to say - Thank you! What a wonderful mission and project. We look at and admire the houses today but it was really the barns that provided life and made this country.
If they have the time, they would wait till the sap stopped running, then cut off the bark in a six inch width. They would go back in early spring and cut down the now dry logs. They dried upright and straight.
It like the very way I was raised my great great grandfather came hear after the civil war what he pitched was an old pigiorn furnace with 96 builds slave quarters 3ft thick logs Victoria mines owned buy a Dr David lum??? I still live on family land one mile
does anyone reading this know any information about the timing methods of cutting down the trees to harvest logs. He mentions the position of the moon and zodiac must be proper. I'm intrigued...
I live on alum springs rd one mile from where stonewall Jackson gen what am I getting yes my name is David Petty that people okay I don't want to talk for some reason to have I bet okay have someone get in contact with me and I would like to speak to someone about the history I know them was verbally told to me by my grandfather not knowing my great-grandfather or my great-great okay
I do appreciate the cabin construction history, but if English people could own the land instead of paying property taxes, the cabins could continue to be used for LIVESTOCK.
I see no value in tobacco: think all that time and energy that could of been used to improve the knowledge of small-town, rural medicine and the engineering associated with it wasted.
I really enjoyed your video of the Anderson barns and history.

Great video for the kids to see
Thank you. I learned so much.
This history is the stuff America is made of.
Every group of relatives should have a farm and a forest at its center just as if it was a university.
I like Appalachian 👍 history
Iam only 62years old but I was raised in a place called little California in Goshen va

Those "big square openings" were shooting Indians.

All this made possible by a generous grant by the Cherokee nation.

Tobacco use to be one of North Carolina’s top tier crop. And is the #1 producer in the country. It’s how a lot of people made a living.
