Let's not forget there are 2 sides to every story. A life sentence wasn't a life sentence back then but he never got parole for a reason. Every guilty man in prison swears he is innocent.
😢Kenny was a victim of, on his part, uncontrollable circumstances. A good youngin' made to look bad by evil doers😢 Rest in peace Kinnie, rest in peace in knowing you did your best😢
@@TheAppalachianStorytellerI enjoyed very much! My Mamaw was a storyteller and I would sit at her feet on a cool linoleum floor as she shared the many stories she carried with her from the mountains of the Blue Ridge to the "flat lands" of the foothills. Thank you for stirring up wonderful warm memories of the best times of my life.
i heard this story as a child from neighbors and considered it a local wives tale until i met an much older man who was an acquaintance of Kinnie and he told it while sitting on his front porch swing , flyswatter in hand. Though it still seemed a bit sensational , I still found information in the Kingsport Public Library and became convinced of the veracity of the tale. I for a short time lived along Big Moccasin Creek, outsdie Gate City, and the locals all knew this story by heart. Thank you JD, its a great story that illustrates the struggles of our families not too distantly removed in time..
These true stories are so cool from the Appalachian storyteller I'm proud to be from the south I'm from Louisiana maybe he could find an old boy from Louisiana he can tell a good story about cuz I'm sure they got plenty of them. Thanks JD.....
Kinnie had nothing but hard times when his mother passed. With his abilities and charismatic personality, he could have excelled in many occupations. But we can never see the curve balls thrown at us in the game of life. It seemed Kinnie was always defending himself from determined death. So my hat goes off for Kinnie. Rest in peace Kinnie.
I thought it was going to end so much worse! Isn’t it amazing what kids go through without a mother’s love? Wonderfully told story, as always. ❤ The music in the intro was great!!!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - I was at least 30 b4 I realized how badly I'd hurt my own mother when she often repeated her dire concerns about the half wild horses I'd always preferred. For some reason horses nobody else could begin to handle would snuggle up to me like I was *their* mom or something. They still do; but anyway, I got cross with Mom one time and popped off at her: "Well, at least you know if I die on a horse, I'll die happy!" And I was just stupid enough to think that should've comforted her. ......... Later if my own son had done such a thing, I might've killed him myself to get the suspense over. I sure would've turned the air blue. But thank God, he got whatever I had, and I always knew he was safe. One time driving past a military base when 'Nam was a thing, I saw a gorgeous Dobie running loose on the hwy median; several men in civvies were trying to corral him but he made it clear he was ready to eat them instead. So what did my brilliant self do? I pulled over and tempted him with bologna into the front seat of MY car and drove off. Having trained dogs as well as horses, I realized pretty quick that Swee'Pea had been trained for jungle patrol. When the guys who'd been trying to retrieve him tracked me down out in the boonies within a week, w/o a sound Swee'Pea raced toward the open window on the driver's side of the truck, leaped, and almost got to bite the guy's head off. At which point the guy turned his truck around and left, never to return. Yes, Virginia, I knew it was illegal for a civilian to keep such a dog, especially as a 'rescue'. I always figured the military guys just wanted to maintain some cock-and-bull cover story about how they'd let my canine darling escape in the first place. But to this day at 78, the personal action I'd most like to take back would be what I said to my mom, bc I realized long ago how it must've made her feel. I don't see how alleged adults can treat kids like Kinnie was treated. Hottest corner of hell ought to be reserved for child abusers of any sort.
@@frostyfrances4700 my son was 40 this past August. He and my daughter(and my grandchildren) are the most important people in my life (+ my best friend of 40+ years). He was a handful growing up, but he was always honest with me. He has turned out to be a wonderful son, husband and father, and proved MANY people who didn’t give him a chance, very WRONG!! His sister was a blonde haired, blue-eyed cheerleader, the darling of her class. Mama’s know. They are both a blessing beyond measure to me. I thank God I had the opportunity to help shape them into the people they are today. Our society needs more good mamas raising good babies. Love your mamas. Mamas, love your babies.
He was given a bad hand when his mom died and his dad married a jezebel. It started early. He's a true outlaw hero. One of my favorite stories from you. Ty. Carolina truck driver.
Thanks Eric! I think ive asked you this before, do you listen to these stories while driving, just curious. Hopefully I see your answer, TH-cams comment notifications make it were I don't see hundreds of replies without spending hours searching for them
that's cool man, if I send you a sticker will you put it on your truck? its only a couple inches, if so, email me at theappalachianstoryteller@gmail.com with your address, ill send you a free one@@erichansen7642
Kennie's life got off to an unfortunate start when his loving mother died. But what he did thereafter presents us with an important life lesson. When you put yourself in situations where you're likely to find trouble, you usually will. Had he not worked for the moonshining sheriff or got into that card game with the four rowdy brothers, things may have turned out differently. Just trying to survive can cause us to make unwise decisions sometimes, but still, life is always about choices. Thanks for another great story JD. You are the best at what you do.
Hi JD! Kinnie’s misfortunes started with his stepmother who was mean to the core. No child asks to be born or to lose a loving mother so young. How can you be mean or abusive to any child. R.I.P. Kinnie Wagner
Kinny was definitely a man out of his time. He was born into self sufficiency, honor and need, but the world changed around him, and he did what he did best: survive. Thanks again for a wonderful story, JD
He definitely got a raw deal. But you could say he was always trying to make the best of a bad situation. What a great story. Thanks, JD. Enjoyed the music, too.
Oh my stars! That’s the most amazing story I’ve ever heard! I think poor Kinnie was a survivor after his mom died, then the circus made him a sharpshooter and then Kinnie unfortunately went a little “sideways” and got in trouble with the law. But he sure was a smart man!! JD you just keep getting better and better with your storytelling!! Blessings always! ❤️✝️😊
Whatever became of that evil stepmother? It's too bad his Pa married her, Kinnie's life would've turned out much different. A good man at heart, he was. Thanks for another fine story JD!
Whatever he was for real - not for me to say - but Kinnie sure got a raw deal after his mom died, and his stepmom had a lot to do with it. He could also have led a remarkable life if he'd been able to grow where he was planted, among family and friends.
I live in Clinchport VA. My wife and I can trace our family back to the civil war from here around Gate City. I grew up hearing stories of how my Great grandparents hid Kinnie in what is now Duffield VA. My dad heard the stories first hand from his grandparents about Kinnie. Everyone in this area said he was the nicest man you would ever meet and his shooting was no exaggeration. They said the law done him wrong. Seeing the bounty he had on his head. It's amazing no one turned him in because that would have been a fortune in those days. Just shows how us mountain folk want to help each other and take care of our own.
Thank you for your videos. I love history especially Appalachian history my grandparents are all gone and my mom is too. I don't have their stories anymore. Would love to sit on the porch and talk with them just once more.Your videos remind me of them and how they grew up . Thank you and keep them coming!
We love your videos my grandparents an mom are gone to be with the Lord so I don't have their stories anymore. I would love to sit on the porch with them just once more. Your videos give me the ability to show my kids how my grandparents an mom grew up. Thanks and keep them coming!
He was A Man That LIVED WITHIN THE LAW That Was FORCED BY THE CROOKED JUSTICE SYSTEM TO BECOME A MAN OF OUT LAW!!! This was a Great Story! Thank you so much for Sharing!
Thanks for bringing the stories that need to be told. I'm sure this happens to so many kids that lose one or both parents. This young man definitely got raw deals wherever he went. Stay safe and GOD bless
I'm a N.C. boy myself and love the stories of the mountains. Your video had me hooked from the start. Great job sir and look forward to hearing many more. Thanks
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller we’re iced in so I’m going to catch up on the last couple. They’re always imagination grabbing. Thank you for sharing them.
Goodmorning JD, raining in my neck of the woods this morning and so no work for me today. I decided to spend my morning with a cup of Joe and settle down to a good story. Kenny was born in a tumultuous time and it seems to me he did what everyone else did and made the best of his talents. Sometimes we are all put in situations where we would rather not be. Great story. I've missed Saturday morning stories and contemplation.Have great weekend brother. Enjoyed.
Great story. Kinnie Wagner was a disposable citizen by some people of authority's ideas much like everyday Americans today. It never ceases to amaze me how greed has destroyed many good people and Kinnie suffered at the hands of greedy Godless people. .
🎉Happy New Year!🎉 Rainy cold morning and gonna rain all day! Bring on the stories!!😅 My Grandparents were sharecroppers and thankful they passed onto me, be a hard worker and thankful, no matter how little or abundant, for all you have. Be diligent in the Lords word and practice daily....FORGIVENESS❤
Good Morning JD. Thank you for creating this wonderful content for all of us to enjoy. I am looking forward to reading your book and I sincerely hope that you will narrate it because nobody tells a story quite like you . I never get tired of hearing your voice.
This one took some digging- on TH-cam it was folks just telling the same ol story with limited facts, missed with a healthy dose of falsehoods- I wanted to set the record straight for Kinnie
This man was no Outlaw now this man was more the Rambo of the Appalachians cuz he really didn't do anything wrong he was treated badly and he had to defend himself
I live and grew up close to where Kinnie was born and grew up. I think he was a good man who was put into bad situations where he had to do what anyone would to survive. He is a Scott County legend.
Gotta love him. He got a raw deal.
He sure did
Wow! What an incredible story! Kinnie got a raw deal in life but yet he has a powerful story that deserves to be told and remembered. R.I.P Kinnie
Thank you Joy !
They ought to make a series or a movie about this guy. What an incredible story
Let's not forget there are 2 sides to every story. A life sentence wasn't a life sentence back then but he never got parole for a reason. Every guilty man in prison swears he is innocent.
I know ppl who knew him and I live where he ran...it's a wild story.he was a dead aim with any gun..
Ya think this is true? Sucker
I'm addicted. I'm back again! This is now my favorite channel.
Make yourself right at home!
Another great story JD. Ain't life stranger than fiction.
Thank you so much. Hope you’re having a great week.
😢Kenny was a victim of, on his part, uncontrollable circumstances. A good youngin' made to look bad by evil doers😢 Rest in peace Kinnie, rest in peace in knowing you did your best😢

I know exactly where Big Moccasin Creek is! I almost mentioned it in the story, but instead used the nearby creek "Copper Creek"
wow! Thats so cool, i am a bit envious. I had never heard of this story and its a wild ride!
Just shows how corrupt criminal systems are too this day
Great story but more importantly the music is outstanding
Heck yeah!
Awesome Story Kinni was a combo of all components TY
Thanks so much!
Not a hero. Not an outlaw. He was always between a rock and a hard place. He was moral but defended himself.
agreed
Well said!
❤❤❤❤ Love how you included the wonderful plan of salvation into this story it was perfect. Yep story too. ❤❤❤❤
You’ll find that in several of my stories I always have a backdrop of faith
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I could watch nothing else but these ,,, reckon bout the most enjoyment ah ever had. Maybe one day these might be able to be watched on tv.
Thanks Randy! Id love to get picked up by @netflix or @hulu! Til then, you can watch these on tv if you have TH-cam on your television.
They wouldn't have to embellish the truth at all for it to be a great movie.
Great story .loved his family and his dogs
❤️
Hero or outlaw doesn't matter. What he was for sure he was A Truly Free Man.
Well, said my friend
These true stories are so cool from the Appalachian storyteller I'm proud to be from the south I'm from Louisiana maybe he could find an old boy from Louisiana he can tell a good story about cuz I'm sure they got plenty of them. Thanks JD.....

We all make mistakes in life, sometimes bad choices. Kinney was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Ole Kenny sounds like a normal guy from the mountains to me.. that got shoved into bad situations.. great story!

Great story!! If this guy hadnt had such bad luck he wouldn't have any luck at all! Wow!
Agreed!
He definitely got a raw deal. But you could say he was always trying to make the best of a bad situation. What a great story. Thanks, JD. Enjoyed the music, too.
I worked hard on the music!
I appreciate the different musical genres that you weaved through the story

My Dad was a guard at Parchman and was there with Kinny in the dog pen when he died. My Dad said he was a quite well liked guy.
You know my dad was a parchmen guard too back in the mid 1970s

Agreed, I thought it was fitting that after his entire life, he was laid down to rest next to his mom.
