While my Grampa did have a car on his farm in S/E Kentucky. He still did all his farm work behind his trusty plow horse Tony, he was plowing the field with Tony when he passed in the spring of 1971 at I believe it was 86 years old. The Sheriff said those Ole plow horses wouldn't stop until they got to the end of the field, Tony stopped when My Grampa dropped to the ground, didn't drag him a foot. My Grampa loved the mountains, loved his farm and his animals, loved his family, and loved God, I think that was his reward for a lifetime of his faith. I have Tony's bit and leather reins. Thanks for a great video and God Bless!
What a sad but wonderful tale ! Just like them people back in the day , work their tails off by habit and practice, and love JESUS with ALL THEIR HEART
That was a good one! My grandfather was born in 1906 and he used to tell me the tale of the first car he ever saw when he was 8 year old that came up the old wagon road and got stuck in the creek ford. He said my great grandfather,his dad had a couple big ol Belgians that they pulled the car out with and then the man took them for a ride. He said he kicked and cried and screamed the whole time he was so scared of that car.
Thank you Donnie the best road they've ever put in was memory lane never changes and you can always go back to it any time you want. Thank you donnie god bless
I remember growing up in Northeast Alabama and my Grandpa hitching the ole mule to a plow and plowing the field. Me and Grandma would walk out there and bring him a drink of water and a wet rag to wipe his face with. Sometimes I think my Grandpa worked as hard handling that plow as the mule did to pull it. Thank you for the memories Mr. Donnie!
Thanks for bringing back memories of the less stressful times. I have listened to my father talk about having to back up some of those old roads around Lenior and Blowing Rock, N.C. because those old jalopys wouldn’t climb those those steep grades in low gear. He told me he would adjust those old mechanical brakes tighter in front and loosen the back. That way he could go down those icy roads and slam on the brakes and make the car spin in circles. Guess that was the old way of doing doughnuts. LOL!
My mom could remember plowing with mules, Donnie. She said grandaddy had one named Dan, who was the meanest critter in the east. Times sure have changed, and not all for the better. God bless!🙏❤️
Great photos of an era gone by. Ty. I used to take care of a gentleman from Waycross, GA. He lived to be 103 yrs old. I loved his stories about the past. He talked about the first time he saw a motorcar. It belonged to the local doctor and the kids would run behind it. He described the hand crank and how it ran. He was the son of a sharecropper so a car was definitely beyond his family's reach. He was a hardworking man that worked the fields so his sisters could finish school. He never had much of a formal education but he was one the wisest men I've met in this life. With the help of his sisters, he taught himself how to read. He used to read the Bible everyday. I'm not much of a religious person but he could get me to come to church with him.. He was proper and viewed the world with a simple and kind heart. He wasn't naive. Just not complicated. I have immense respect for him to his day. They don't make men like that anymore. He meant a great deal to me. Bless William A. Strickland 🌸
Love this history. What was amazing to me was that many horses pulling that equipment! To handle that many horse at once! Wow! Such great old cars. Thanks Donny!✌️❤️
When my grandpa was 10 years old he went by horse and wagon 50 plus miles away to sell railroad ties to mines. 10 year old WOW. He was the best grandpa ever. 😀
Brought back some good memories of my mom talking about the farm she grew up on in central Wisconsin, they too had draft horse from about 1905 until the 1930s. One of her favorite stories was about some outlaw type neighbors whos sons worked in the big city and how suddenly newer cars would show up on their farm from time to time, I once visited that farm back about 1970 to talk to one of the sons by this time an elderly gentleman, I saw his machine shed and sure enough, it was filled with cars from the 40's and the 50's. Another great video and thanks for bringing back some great memories.
That first ol red tractor looks something like that ol tractor that dad made me disc,drag and plow our field with when I was 12 or 13 yrs old. Once it was starting to get dark and fire was belching out the stack and I thought it was on fire. I screamed and jumped off the tractor still rolling down the field!! Dad made me go catch up and jump back on it!! I was disking at the time!! Thank God I was able to jump on and drive it back to the barn without any damage to me or the tractor!!😅 I'm a 79 years old lady now and have so many memories of the good ol days that you help me remember!! Thanks so much Donnie for all the history and pictures of the past. Hope you will be able to keep finding more of your precious adventures to share with us!! Soon be Mushrooms huntin season! Hope you find some!! Till next time! God bless..❤🙏
Neat photo archives Donnie ...my Dad held onto a old Ford model A when i was a boy....we loved riding in it ......I will always have a love for the old vehicles. Thank you for the video Brother.
Those sure were the good old days, look outside today, take a drive and those old days are truly the best. Although things were changing fast when I grew up but being 75 yrs I was blessed to learn the old ways. In middle Oklahoma things were different than the smokies but they were my good old days , I sure miss them. Thanks for your hard work Mr. laws.
@@Brickbossman Growing up all my friends were old men. I was all ears listening to all the stories. When I was small I used to sit next to Frank Eaton you probably heard of him, okla.State football maskot, " Pistol Pete " I would sit and stare at his six shooter on his hip and dream. Those were good times.
:)!!I really enjoyed it. You have a command of both the past and the future. You need to teach in a MacGyver kind of way sooo it easy for people to understand and appreciate where we come from to make people less afraid of the future. Your a teacher of change!!! :)!!!
I am always blessed to start my morning with one of your videos Donnie.. my daddy plowed with a mule when i was a kid. This brought back the most wonderful memories of my own childhood. I’m going on 71 now and those old times were truly the good ole days.
Really interesting and well done. My sister lives up a small mountain in LaFollette, TN---even though we have 4-wheel drive cars and trucks now---and her road is partially paved, it is one lane and an adventure to get up there to visit her!
Giving this video another look. When I think of how the settlers got here in horse drawn wagons and the hardships they faced in makes me really appreciate their determination. The horses were amazing. I'm grateful that things improved tremendously for them as they went along. Thanks for sharing this Donnie, your friend, Louise
My dad still used horse power on the farm until abt 1970 . We rode the draft horse to the shops 5 miles away . we had a skid like you showed in this video. He had that old dray too for hauling fire wood and crops from paddock to packing shed
All of the Appalachian story tellers are great you are top shelf in my opinion some may match ya but none can top you. Can't top the truth and being genuine.. thanks Donnie...
Mr Donny; so many of your videos are fantastic and or very beautiful, but this ending of your old friend singing made me cry! So very heartwarming and remember to me of my deceased uncle and my Aunt Pauline singing on cd from the church I used to go a lot of years ago, she is old and we be gone very soon with the Lord Jesus! So I have that and time to time I listen to it and cry! It is beautiful!
Love these old stories of times gone by and reminding us of changes. I’m sure it was much harder with horses and wagons but then they pretty much stayed on their old homesteads…family, gardening, small communities that shared with one another.
Miss the old days of going to junk yards and finding parts everything was pretty much universal back in the old days times have changed thank you for your videos
Thank you Mr. Donnie for sharing yet another piece of history of days gone by. Probably one of the inventions that we really could have done without. Everything really started changing once the automobile was invented and come on the scene. Great video. 🙏🏻😇👍🏻🙌🏻
I remember my grandpa who had a few horses over the years. However he had horses that no one wanted because of a missing eye or deaf in one ear. And he only rode on them when it was time to go to market or store. Or to pick us from a top of hill to bring us down to the valley. There were no roads as you said back then. Those were good days and I was only 10yrs old. Thks for letting me share.
Thank Donnie this was so good. That muddy road look one that we lived on back in the 50’s in Rule Nebraska my Grandfather come out of the service after WW 1 and became rule mail carrier dad was in the navy and he delivered our mail he drove a studabaker and would put chains on a lot of the time to get around we depended on him for every thing those was some good days . Thanks for putting this old stuff on here it brings back old memory’s I’m 72 but can remember a lot of old things . Your in my prayers to get healed .🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
When I was a kid most of the streets in town were red brick which were one by one covered in black top. The Amish in my county are still plowing the fields with big horses !
Thanks for taking me back. Enjoyed the show. I've heard the stories of the wagon days on the old farm I now live on and some of the old road beds are still used for my old ford tractor. I'm old enough to remember dirt roads and folks getting stuck but sure don't miss those very much. lol Cruising around the old farm roads on my JD Gator is more fun. God Bless. NW ga.
I love the photo of the passenger looking at the camera as horses were pulling out the car. Not an image you'd want to leave for posterity.... 🤣 I also want to note that I love the music you use. I'm always looking for good Appalachian music to listen to.
Superb story and great pictures. I grew up in a small city with trolleys that got people around; horses were around on the farms, but I never saw a mule until we moved to Tennessee 50 years ago.
Great video Donnie!!!!!!! A blessing as always!!!!!!! I've often heard the older generation say that a good mule was a much smoother ride than a horse.
Oh I love this! I don’t remember much when I was growing up on the farm. I do remember Daddy on his tractor in the field. I can’t remember what kind it was……John Deere or Massey Ferguson… but I loved it when Daddy would let me ride on that tractor with him! Blessings always! ❤️✝️
Thanks for the memories I remember my grandmother telling me that back in 1904 they came from Tennessee to Wilkes nc and her mother put her in the back of a horse and wagon and it took several days to get here. And about people that traveling along would stop by and camp for the night. They also would drive turkeys to town for sale they would camp out for the night and the turkeys would roost in the trees. I remember a woman talking about her father talking a load of tanning bark to town for sale by wagon and it took him 2 days he slept under the wagon and came back the next day to day it takes about 30 minutes round trip. 😮 when my father was little in the 30s a man came around in his old pickup and took a bunch of people to church he stood outside on the running board and held on and went to church. I remember that my grandmother told me about her husband my grandfather used to go somewhere he would walk there and back he would go see his family across the mountain he would walk through the woods he knew short cuts to go there. And he would go in the woods to get what he called dry pine stumps and split them up and sell them in town for people to start fire with.. so many memories thanks for sharing these great videos God bless you 🙏
Really made me look through a different perspective. Never thought about this kind of stuff. I always love watching your videos and getting to see and hear about how things used to be.
My grandma told me one day she had her driver's license, so I asked her why she didn't drive. She said cause she could only drive a car that had a stick for a steering wheel. I wish I could have ridin ' with her in that car. Oh how much fun we would have had. Thank you Donnie for the memories
The good lord birthed me in the Midwest, but I sure wish I was raised in Appalachia. Appalachian roots and upbringing, although hard, is beautiful. I love hearing about it.
Love that intro song. Thank you, your video adds to my appreciation of this subject. It's a shame isn't it? I have Amish friends who still use the hirse, thank goodness! When I was an art teacher, I taught a lesson on how the horse has been replaced by cars. I used examples of an artist, Deborah Butterfield, who used old car parts, wood, etc, to create life-size horse sculptures. Her social commentary is of great educational informative, too.
Wow- all those horses doing the farm work!! My Grandfather was the first to use draft horses to log here in Oregon. I do believe it was economical too- Thanks for sharing Donnie and Blessings 😊❤
If it makes you feel any better some of us younger folk are trying to revive the old ways personally I'm trying to start a carriage shop and bought a 1888 frick sawmill and a 1800 buggy tire machine
❤ I love watching your videos❤ my daddy use to talk about one of his first place cars 🚘 it was a Chevy can't really remember the year 55-56 but he said he was going to Middlesboro one day an it tore up on him, so he left it on the mountain there on Fonde side. I'd say it's been stripped by now. My daddy's been gone since 2020 and all of his stories he use to tell me and my brothers is well just memories now. I sure miss his stories of the olden times and growing up in Fonde ky. That's where we are all from. It use to be a coal camp back in the days. Keep posting videos like these Donnie. They're sure appreciated.
While my Grampa did have a car on his farm in S/E Kentucky. He still did all his farm work behind his trusty plow horse Tony, he was plowing the field with Tony when he passed in the spring of 1971 at I believe it was 86 years old.

My grandma told me one day she had her driver's license, so I asked her why she didn't drive. She said cause she could only drive a car that had a stick for a steering wheel. I wish I could have ridin ' with her in that car. Oh how much fun we would have had. Thank you Donnie for the memories

The good lord birthed me in the Midwest, but I sure wish I was raised in Appalachia. Appalachian roots and upbringing, although hard, is beautiful. I love hearing about it.
Really enjoyed the video, made me chuckle too the guy peering over the car.
Thank you friend for sharing this. Thank you.
Love that intro song. Thank you, your video adds to my appreciation of this subject. It's a shame isn't it? I have Amish friends who still use the hirse, thank goodness! When I was an art teacher, I taught a lesson on how the horse has been replaced by cars. I used examples of an artist, Deborah Butterfield, who used old car parts, wood, etc, to create life-size horse sculptures. Her social commentary is of great educational informative, too.
Awesome my friend. Your very welcome.

Wow- all those horses doing the farm work!! My Grandfather was the first to use draft horses to log here in Oregon. I do believe it was economical too- Thanks for sharing Donnie and Blessings 😊❤
Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome my friend.
It’s sad watching these times go away. Slowly but surely they are.
It is sad my friend.
If it makes you feel any better some of us younger folk are trying to revive the old ways personally I'm trying to start a carriage shop and bought a 1888 frick sawmill and a 1800 buggy tire machine
That's awesome my friend.
❤ I love watching your videos❤ my daddy use to talk about one of his first place cars 🚘 it was a Chevy can't really remember the year 55-56 but he said he was going to Middlesboro one day an it tore up on him, so he left it on the mountain there on Fonde side. I'd say it's been stripped by now. My daddy's been gone since 2020 and all of his stories he use to tell me and my brothers is well just memories now. I sure miss his stories of the olden times and growing up in Fonde ky. That's where we are all from. It use to be a coal camp back in the days. Keep posting videos like these Donnie. They're sure appreciated.
That's awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this.
