What an Awesome and Amazing story 💕 I have always loved the stories and history behind them. Thank You for that 💕🙏
I really enjoyed this! This is about my family and we still live on the farm where all of these events took place. I remember my grandmother telling me about her uncle getting shot and killed at the church along with other bits and pieces of the story.
How bout that
That's amazing
That's really amazing you still live at the place where it happened
Wow so cool
So it was your family that shot that lady!?

Brilliant story watching from west midlands uk shared to my Facebook have friends world wide
Watching from San Antonio TX...not on the Devil's media but love the stories...(moving away from TH-cam at a pretty good rate recently....most of my favorite producers going over to Rumble
NIGHT LIFE .. RICHIE.. SEVIERVILLE TN.. shared video to Facebook with over 800 friends
You're an excellent story teller! I've subscribed. Will be binge watching today while I do my work! Thanks so very much. I love old stories like this. You don't film yourself or drive for half the video, your narration is smooth and nice to listen to. Finding these made my day!!!!
I try to do my own thing and take the road less traveled. Glad you made it here Julia!
Agree
Yep this gentleman is an excellent story teller!
After I have listened to 10 of your stories I have came to the conclusion that your voice definitely makes these stories so much more. Way to go J.D. Please keep up the great work. A fan from New Brunswick, Canada 🇨🇦. Right where the Appalachian Mountains start way up north down south to the most unique people and places on God's great green earth. God bless.
Glad to have you here Mark!
The barn that is in this video is has been my home for 20 yrs now I appreciate you showing it to the rest of the world I love it here it's my home nothing fancy but it's all I need. And I'm thank god every day for it.
Thank you my friend, its beautiful!
I loved your statement, “I love it here it’s my home nothing fancy but it’s all I need. And I’m thank god every day for it.” That’s me about my 110 year old house I live in. It’s been in my family since 1967 and it’s in need of several repairs. But the roof is in good repair and it’s dry inside. That’s all I need. I don’t want a big house. The bigger it is, the more there is to keep clean. 😊😊
I’ve heard a lot of stories about Pistol Pete and his wife. Cecil was the sheriff when I was a kid, so I’ve heard a lot about him, too. This was some interesting history of our county. You did a great job with the video and story.
Thank you Denise, I appreciate that!
The Law sure dropped the ball here!! I thought we were bad today!! Thanks JD for an excellent story and letting us know what it was like back then👍🏻 Tragic story of what anger and unforgiving temperaments get ya !
Pride runs bone deep for these men
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - I've heard it goes b4 a fall too.
We are but the children of days gone by... nothings changed but the methods used...
Great story! Watching from Dubai. From Ft.Cambell, KY.
Thank you for your service my friend! We are all thankful for men like you.
Thank you for your service❤️🤗🐝
Giday. I'm a Kiwi (New Zealander) I enjoy your Appalachian stories even though Im from the other side of the world.
Thank you Dean, we are so glad to have you here! Greetings from East Tennessee USA
Wake up early, throw feed & water, let the big dogs loose and come in to this and coffee?? It’s gonna be a good day. ☕️☕️
Have a good en my friend
I am envious of your way of life..stay blessed
👍
I enjoy most of your stories but do not enjoy them when foul language is involved.
Love your stories from Sevierville TN
Thank you sir!
Just found this today. Had to share with Facebook. I have been knitting and listening from California.
Glad to have you here!
As an early riser I love the times most of the videos get posted. I can for sure say I know I’m in the Detroit area but sadly cannot post on social media because I’m no longer on there. Love the contests and videos though! Always killing it. 😃
Thank you Robbie!
I'm watching from eastern north carolina
Thank you my friend
Thanks for sharing JD. I had heard my Dad tell me of a Byrge relative that was sheriff in Morgan county but didn't know much about him. Seems his wife was temporary Sheriff there and also his son. Thanks for bringing these stories to life. Wild wild west all over them mountains.
Thanks for that extra info James
Pistol Pete was married to Georgia Mae Bingham. Folks called her “Mrs. Pete”, and she often worked at the jail. I don’t know if she ever actually served as sheriff or not. Later their son, Cecil Byrge became sheriff of Morgan County. I was quite young, so it was probably early 70’s.
Shared from Austinville VA
Preciate you Melody!
I look forward to all of your stories and I believe I have watched all of your videos. But your voice seems to add another element to the dark stories that no one else seems to have. It's lends that extra little "shiver" to them. I hope there will be more videos upcoming based on this story.
Watching from Charlottesville, VA.
Thanks for that Melanie! I think its from all the countless nights as a little boy listening to my dad tell stories as we all sat on the carpet in the living room around his recliner listening.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller
Thank you much! And I forgot to say that I "liked" the video and posted it to Facebook. And, of course, I'm subscribed.
Great story. I'm in Ashville in northeast Alabama and have an 88 y.o. mom and a son in east TN. I love all the stories and history you share of Appalachia.
Very cool! Thank you Randy
Haven't been on social media in a long time.. but, I'll have to see if Twitter will let me post this fantastic video ☺️ Thanks for sharing another compelling true story. Watching from Anderson County TN 🤗❤️
Thanks Kathy!
You do a great job on your stories I'm from Franklin County Virginia known as the moonshine capital of the it would be interesting if you could do a few stories from that area girls from my ancestors I've heard some good ones
Hi Daniel, if you have any suggestions for stories in particular, you can email me at theappalachianstoryteller@gmail.com id be happy to take a look at them
Great story to wake up to here in Northern Illinois. Thanks for sharing this with us J.D. Stay safe out there my friends 🙏
Thank you Big Iron
I couldn't sleep so I hit TH-cam and yes another story. I'm watching from Oklahoma
Thank you Bella!
Oh yeah another post... So I get a cup of ice coffee, turn off all the noise makers around me, get comfortable, click play and close my eyes in anticipation of being transported from west florida to those Appalachian mountains. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift!
Thank you Vicky
I always look forward to these stories and for some reason though I live in Australia, I feel like I'm somehow apart of them. Maybe it was another life from another time?
Anyhow it's a great channel and I wouldn't miss it for quids.
Haha, that's funny. I'm from Appalachia and I've always thought the same thing about Australia! Very similar people
Thank you my Australian friend!
@@artiefufkin88 Must be friend.
Love this book. My great grandmother was a Davis her father was Carl Davis. I really enjoy hearing the history.
Thank you ma’am
Lancing is my hometown and Earl Hickman was my great-great uncle. Interesting family history! Watching from Crossville, TN. Shared and liked!
Thank you ma’am
Well done! Thank you!
Also,love the bullets rickashaying off the grass/dirt - great little detail.
Thanks for noticing that!
Great video, JD. It reminded me also however that prohibition had to be one of the dumbest reform efforts this country has ever undertaken. (I'm not agin most.) And if people want to fight bad enough, that's what they're going to do. We tend to forget or discount what a relatively young country this is. Sometimes we're like a herd of wild teenagers. I hope we last long enough to grow up. ... TinyTown - where I retired in the central Midwest - still feuds like the Civil War border town it was. Churches had to be closed bc people turned them into shooting galleries.
Since I eventually learned to distance myself from the local mess as much as possible, I don't know if this still goes on ... but when I moved here in '05, the custom for graduating high school seniors was to gather on the lawn around the county courthouse and literally try to stomp each other to pieces. The local police chief (department of one) and the county sheriff's office (not much bigger) are located inside the building and would watch the annual rite of passage w/o lifting a finger to stop it. Some generational feuds here literally go back as far as when the town grew up around a trading post on the Lewis&Clark Trail. I don't think the Hatfields and McCoys could've been worse. Or the Meltons and Davises. Little wonder they didn't roll out the welcome wagon when I showed up. :p Nobody thought I could stick it out here, but in polite terms let's just say I've encouraged detente. Had to greet the milita boys with my shotgun too when they showed up piled onto the back of a flatbed truck parked outside my house, waving their symbolic manhood and ... well, rashly thinking they could run this old Fenian off. So I wonder if I'd have been much different if this was all I'd ever known. Sometimes I grieve for these folks, but my freeway finger has a mind of its own too.
boy, there's a lot of truth in those words. Especially this nation being like a herd of wild teenagers.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - We haven't really moved out of the frat house yet.
Sounds more like you watch way to much t.v.
@@smrtrthnu1571 - Sounds like you might prefer myth and propaganda over actual history. And isn't it rather presumptuous to announce what my sources might be w/o bothering to ask me first? Jumping to conclusions is not journalistic best practice. So let's keep THIS channel at least a safe zone for everyone to enjoy and build bridges instead of a mosh pit, okay?
May I ask the name of your “tiny town in the Midwest”?
this story reminds me of the old movie "needful things" where the devil ran the town. just like he runs this country now,,,,,,,,,,,,
Was that Stephen king? Seems I remember my father reading that
Watch the judgment of God straighten this out. Be the warrior 🪖
@@robertgarland805 amen brother....justice WILL be done...
Love that film
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - For a long time Stephen King lacked much control over the filming of his novels. As soon as he had the $, he pretty much took over at which point I'd say the improvement was astounding. His last tv miniseries about end times was pretty much all him, and I loved it. Called The Stand.
Love this video my family is davis and Melton from a few miles down the road! The stories my family would set around and tell are great!
That’s awesome
I love to hear your stories listing and watching from Soddy Daisy Tennesse
Thank you Theresa

As a southern man from north Alabama, I love the history of your stories. Thanks
Thank you my friend, Ill be in North Alabama in a few weeks filming
Hopefully you’re preparing stories of the people is rural North Alabama. I have family from Lacey Springs, AL. I have fond memories of visiting my Great Aunt & Uncle on their farm. These stories of families living off the land with very little money reminds me of them. They didn’t have much or a fancy house, but boy was their home full of LOVE!

I loved the first one so much, I came right away for another. If you get bored, I narrate as well.
preciate you!
I really enjoy listening to the Appalachian stories. Thank you for being on the air.
Thank you Theresa!
This would make an amazing movie or even a mini series. Super interesting.
Thanks my friend
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Your welcome funny thing is my Grandfather Sam Cleage Feild during the late 20's early 30's was a U.S. Marshall in Knoxville and busted bootleggers. My Mother was born in Knoxville Feb 12 today by the way as were her bothers and my mother would later become the first female licensed Private Investigator in California in the late 50's. I grew up in California but lovingly have embraced my roots of East Tennessee and Virginia by moving to East Tennessee almost two years ago. I am learning so much from your channel.
I'm hooked. Another Great story I've never heard. Thanks, JD.
Thank you TennValleyGal!
Any historical story teller, in order to captivate the audience and bring the story to life that person Must have your voice, JD. No other will do. I have heard others try to read or tell a story and sadly they are nothing less than totally boring and soon folks are turning a 'deaf' ear to the voice. You have NO competition! 😄
wow! What an amazing comment! Thank you so much, email me your address and ill send you a free appalachian storyteller sticker theappalachianstoryteller@gmail.com
Fantastic storytelling. Love the channel!! Watched on TH-cam. Liked and shared!!

Nice to know other folks still use the word " hoe -down" as we do here...
Has a different meaning in the city though......
Yeah it does
So glad I woke up to find a new story waiting. Thank you.
Thank you Aquahoma !

I love your work and our history! I grew up and live in Alabama, but my moms family came down from East Tennessee before she was born, and my dad had family come over from north Georgia and the Carolina’s!

Awesome, Thank you so much Duke! Preciate you brother!
What an incredible story fantastic editing and masterful storytelling..
Thank you Jim!
Is jury system still exist today in american judicial system? From my point of view this was a very wrong practice. The setting up of a jurry system separate and distinct from whole judicial system is very wrong. Whatever the outcome after a case was heard it was always the jury as the final arbiter would hand down the decision. Juries were mostly lay preople, ignorance of the law were common to this group of people living in the protiers. It was but only the judge who had trained himself to make a lawful decision. Why the american society in that era invented such a system? First protection for white from minority colored people. 2nd protection even for abusive member of thier community against outsiders or visitors. 3rd protection of the strong influencial against the weak and ordinary member of the community. Those were the biases, silently institutionalized by the system, that were common to whites and the judge knew it, his presence was just a symbol of justice. Because by nature whites were brutally racist people. Thier racism brutallity were not only to the colored poeple but also to whites that did not embrace thier racist feelings and to the whites, who were an outsiders or visitors of the community because for the whites hospitality didn't mean anything but only a business. If it still existed today who are they protecting now by this system? Still thier racist feelings?
No thank you for the Appalachian history ❤
I’m enjoying this story. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you
But what happened NEXT??? They all just gave up the feud?
Im watching from Richlands Virginia
Thank you Ann!
Watching this from ILLINOIS
Thank you!
Great story
Glad you enjoyed it
Pistol Pete put him in the backseat and "POLITELY" took him to jail. 😂 I Lost it when you said that because of the irony of it! Lol. 😂🤣😂🤣
When the Boxer tripped, the Sheriff opened up a "Can Of WHOOP-ASS on the Boxer and continued to kick him while he is "LITERALLY FLOORED"(😵🤕). And then, the Sheriff pulls out his Billy Stick and proceeded to knock the boxer upside the head with it! Then the Sheriff puts him in the Back of the Cop Car and "POLITELY"Took him to Jail. 😂🤣🤣😂🤯😂👍👌
(If you could see inside my mind, you would have lost it laughing too)
Pistol Pete didn’t play
Superstar story telling. 🇨🇦🎈
❤️
Love the history of such resilient hard working people
Thanks so much!
Wow, what a story!! I think I would have moved out of the area.. too much self-appointed justice for me, lol. I have heard of Pistol Pete as a kid, but I don't remember from where the story originated. Definitely crazy times!!
Yes indeed! The law couldnt control everyone
Watching from Top shelf delivery 💚
Las Vegas Nevada
Thanks so much! Y'all stay safe out there
Great story, but...police cars didn't have blue lights back in 1940...they were red.
Thanks for watching
I'm watching this video from Ellsworth Maine
Thank you Eric
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Love ALL Your videos 😊
I wish you could look up anything on Bill Montgomery from I believe Wayne County,Tennessee.My lare husbands uncle.Uncle Bill.I always heard he was a moomshiner.People always said my husband was the splitting image of him.
ill see what I can find
My granddad, Jacob Leonard, was murdered in 1907 in his barnyard there in Atkins, Virginia. He was a prominent lumberman in the area and had hired young Chase Lindamood to make a road back in the woods. My dad was only three at the time, so he and his brothers were in the house eating breakfast. The story goes that an argument over 50 cents happened, and Lindamood pulled a pistol and shot Jacob in the heart. He instantly fell dead. Lindamood ran away, but then turned himself in a few hours later. A trial was help at the courthouse and Lindamood was found guilty of man slaughter and was sent to prison for fifteen years. He returned after serving his time and went to stealing chickens. Now, I don't know how much .50 cents was in today's money, but surely it wasn't worth a man's life.
I still have the newspaper clipping of that event.
can you email me the details and the news clip to theappalachianstoryteller@gmail.com
This was a really interesting and good story and it really happened. To this day this still goes on between 2 different families. What's really sad is alot of the time a family will fight amongst itself. I would absolutely love to win this book. I would read it then I would let my baby brother read it. I think he would enjoy it so much. He's going to be 55 on January the 15th. I would give it to him for his birthday, so I would have to read it pretty fast if I won it and it got here on time. But I would still give it to him for a late B/D present. We lost our other brother last August. I think this would really lift my baby brothers spirits up. Don't ever stop telling these great true story. This is so much a part of our history. I'm 64 and I can really relate alot to these stories. We are from NE Oklahoma, we live about 30 miles from Talequah, Oklahoma. Cherokee Nation's head quarters. ❤
stay tuned!
This was amazing you did a great job JD. You sure have the voice to read westerns. Keep up the great work. God bless ✝️🇺🇸

I love these stories and the "Storyteller" has the best voice ever. My granddaughter loves listening too! Thank you all the stories!! This were hard back then, and sometimes just as hard today!
Thank you telling these stories.
Glad you like them! Thank you so much Charlotte!
i've just discovered this channel and wow! Listening with bated breath from Portugal!
Welcome! so glad to have you here my friend!
Beautiful landscapes and the immense spaces are so awesome to me living right at the end of Cornwall UK I can and I have walked from one coast to the other some of which is an old pilgrims path from Canterbury (roughly the centre of England) and when they got to the sea they would beg or buy passage to Spain continuing their pilgrimage
Wow! That’s so interesting
Pistol Pete Harvey Byrge is my husbands grandfather. This was interesting to watch.
Cool!
I have to check my genealogy now because I have Davis' and Melton's in my lines. I did share this and I am in South Carolina right now.
Thank you !
I see I’ve watched this one before but i don’t remember it
I always like ok forward to your new video’s! I would love to be able to buy 1 of everything Appalachian story teller!
Thank you so much for your support my friend!
Hi JD! Wow, that’s a piece of history you just don’t hear about. Back in those days they had their own justice. Just because towns had a sheriff, they took it upon themselves to serve justice in their own way.
Keep telling these fascinating stories from the past. Have a blessed weekend!
Thank you Willow! Have a great weekend my friend.
Whatsa blessed weekemf mean
Appalachia and these times are so interesting. How tough humans were man, it’s crazy
Yes indeed
I love your stories! Watching from Greenville South Carolina

16:40 looks a whole lot like Ron Ford from the Mossy Grove area of Morgan Co, Tn. I built some fence with him. Had to finish without him. He died in a car crash over the weekend and that Friday was the last I ever saw of him. He was a good fella.

My mother’s family is from Appalachian in Eastern Ky. The story of Pistol Pete sounds like one of my distant ancestors. I will have to do some searching to see if it’s the same man. I’m enjoying the stories.
Theres a couple books on Pistol Pete
This might be some of my relatives. Marshall NC is not far, and they could be in the family lmao. Just a old Marines opinion.
Might be!
What a great story it's a tragedy but in those days common
Yes sir Mr. Stone, Thanks for watching !
Thanks for the awesome story!!!! Listening from Grass Range Montana.
Thank you Sir
Guess I’m heading over to get the book! I need to know the whole story! 😊 and sharing this video! Maybe it’ll raise books sales
Thank you!
i enjoyed watching this put more on like this .i love watching people from the Appalachia mt.
I have a few more like this one... look up Appalachias Deadliest Family, Appalachias Deadliest Outlaws, and Appalachias Deadliest Duo... they are all in this genre.
I'm a history buff I love all your videos !! ❤️
Thank you Starla!
To be honest I would rather watch a video than read a book. See I happen to really like the music that is in your videos. Anyway thank you for another great story. Peace out
