I grew up in South Eastern Kentucky in cabins built like this, it was built in 1810, by ancestors, they had come to Kentucky with Boone, and the other side of my family were Cherokee runaways from the Trail of Tears. They had gotten to around Hopkinsville Kentucky and knew it was now or never, they were getting close to crossing the Mississippi and knew they would never see their homeland again. So they broke away and started heading back east. They ended up in South Eastern Kentucky where they could hide away in the hollers and they lived side by side with my Scotts Irish family and they became intermarried and Dad's family was in WV and are enrolled Shawnee Indian, that had hidden like my Cherokee side of the family. We signed the Dawes roll so we are enrolled Cherokee too.

Seeing the lady putting the broom together reminded me of my great grandmother building her brooms. The grass she used was cut longer and tied them in bundles of 5 that was then tied together to make the broom. She never put a wooden handle in them as she was a little short and the grass was long. Still I never saw her bend over to sweep anything. She could sweep with just one hand too because they were so light. She had wiping the counter down and sweeping up down to a fine science.

Wonderful video Mr. Peter. Being from Wilkes County North Carolina we enjoy having some history from those days gone by. My grandparents lived on the Reddies River in North Wilkesboro and the old wagon trail was behind their house. There was a large rock up on the hill that had wagon wheel cuts in it. We have a couple of Daniel Boone Trail markers in town. He had a homeplace for a shot time on the Yadkin River not far from where I live. The site has been maintained and is now called Whippoorwill Academy. Thanks again for bringing the past back to life.

More and more seem 2 either B looking 4 or R trying 2 live the past's 'best'. a harder life 2 B sure...but the perks seem 2 faaaaar outweigh the heavy lifting. There's nothing wrong with a hard work ethic, or the peace of nature, or learning a trade or eating unpolluted food from your own land and your own hands. No, we have lavished ourselves into insensibility and it all is coming apart at the seams. Seems U found a fine place of like-minded people' and each has something to offer the other.

I’m with you Marie, nothing beats eating a simple meal that you provided for with your own hands, by a fire and falling quickly to sleep from a hard days labour. I do believe old Ben’s quote should be the blueprint for our education system, because in my humble opinion, something has gone terribly wrong with the current one!

Grandad was from Eardley Quebec and came to the US in 1920 after serving in the CEF. Grew up in the woods north of Eardley which is now in Gatineau State Park. Had a lot of relatives in Ontario also.

Enjoyed this presentation very much. Thanks Peter. Tough life and short. Aside from the dangers of frontier life people literally worked themselves to death for the shelter and sustenance we take for granted. Can't remember the author, but I once read an autobiography by a continental soldier. Most of the writing didn't concern battles or notes about military drill. The guy starved more than he ate, went shoeless and threadbare more than he was clothed, fought sickness and weather and starvation more than the enemy. Yet time after time, battle after battle, you'd find him in the continental line facing the enemy.

@@TheWoodlandEscape marching and counter marching, advance and retreat, this man probably knew little of the tactics or schemes, gains or reverses that blew his personal leaf hither and thither. Yet when his enlistment had ended and he must have been well versed in the deprivations, hum drum, and sometimes seemingly chaotic movements of the average continental soldier, he reinlisted. A common man and to the common eye doing common things. From such common men doing common things are born the unsung heroes. Anyway, that's my way of thinking.
