Well, JD, as soon as I saw the word 'rattlesnake', I knew it would be a good story. I've lived in several places crawling with rattlesnakes, and what I always did was to pay people $5 per king snake that they brought me to turn loose on the property, even under the house. The king snakes would drive the rattlers out and gobble down rodents too. Out in the middle of nowhere, I never had so much as a single mouse in the house. King snakes never bothered the dogs either. Of course I'm not sure the opposite was true.

@@Nofucksgiven22 - If we go about it right, nature balances itself. Now my other solution might not appeal to some, but as a kid I played with almost everything, including spiders. If you let a few of them live indoors with you, they'll take care of a lot of other creepy crawlies and not bother you one bit. According to Zillow my house is 140 yrs old, and you know how notorious most structures that age are for all kinds of pests. But I never see any partly bc I do see the occasional spider scurrying out of my way. So I don't bother spidey and he leaves me alone too.

You did a good job telling this story. "He got above his raising" is what people would have said about him (when I was young). People still do disappear around here to this day. "Better watch your step", didn't always mean look good where you are walking. My mother hated people who came to the house asking her to vote for them. I've seen some of them run to get away from her. Mom lived to be 92 years old. She never registered to vote; and, she preached that women were not supposed to vote according to the Bible (all her life). She would jump on me (every year after I voted) saying, "You just cancelled a man's vote." I would answer her, "There's a lot more votes that need cancelling." "Why don't you register and cancel a vote with me the next time". This would set her off preaching again. I never thought I would miss her preaching on this subject; but, I do miss her.

​@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - That's why I'm part mountain goat. I want to be up high somewhere it doesn't flood. Tiny Town's 850' above sea level. It's only about 10 square blocks, but the west side of town where I live is the top of the mound. So everything flows away from us. And bc of the cliff, tornadoes that rush at us across the lower plains always veer off when they hit the big wall here in Tornado Alley. I did an awful lot of research b4 moving here. Of course being alone and retired, I didn't have other factors to consider. The chows were always happy as long as we were together.

It's insane how high cable or satellite television had gotten. Luckily for our phones if our cable has an outage the cellphones have internet that can be used to watch pretty much any show we want on the phone or tv some people have a tablet instead of cellphones that have internet capabilities too. So either with a cell or tablet I can cast to my smart tv to watch channels on RU-vid but on bigger screens and it doesn't cost me any extra except what I pay for cell service I also use the free tv streaming apps as well

Seems like a mountain boy, turned on his own. He may have forgotten where he came from. He should have reconsidered. The hole in his hat, told him what to expect.

Exactly the hole in the hat, as if that wasn’t enough of a warning

@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I was just thinking that in the language of the mountain men, it was a promise. I've been places around where I live. There are so many people who are cousins, or kin by marriage that it's nearly impossible for an "outsider" to be accepted.

@@Victoria-OneLove4AllPeople You are exactly right, back in those days, there were certain things that would make a man disappear, and an insult like the one uttered in this video was just the recipe.

@@TheAppalachianStoryteller The insult was a definitely a problem. The day the elected lost the respect, trust and pride of the mountain people who elected him. Was the day he, instead of helping the mountain people as expected, sided with the town folk. While taking cheap shots, moved in for an "easy kill" relying on information gleaned by common knowledge of youth. He broke the code of the mountains and to further feather his comfy nest and self presumed illustrious career. He shot himself in the foot, when he began to jail his fellow mountain friends. From then on he was a dead man walking. He got too far above his raising. Letting arrogance and self importance cloud his vision and supercede logic. That's one of the many reasons that I enjoy your multi layered stories. Each one has many hidden meanings.

Even though I'm from Southern Texas these stories from West Virginia Tennessee or Kentucky are always so damn cool and very relaxing for some reason to me.

Please show me in the bible where there is a "god-given right" to anything. Also, there isn't any mention of a "Rattlesnake Bill Lewis".
