I remember friends at school who picked tobacco. They would get tobacco rash. Nasty looking rash.

I am from Mississippi and i recognised 19 out of 20. Beautiful. We even had a convenience store chain called the Tote Sum store. lol

My parents were from Gibson, Georgia. I was born in D.C. and raised inside the beltway. During a summer vacation visiting my folks after a decade away I wrote down several of their dialectic sayings and expressions. And today, even though I was a newspaper reporter and editor in my everyday speech I still use "ain't" and "ya'll." And if you didn't know when my mother said Bennett she wasn't speaking a name, she was saying "being that," as in "bennett you ain't do'n nuth'n why don't you carry the trash out to the can." RIP mom and dad, I reckon ya'll was alright.

I am from Massachusetts and this scares the Shyt outta me.

I had ancestors who came from Cadburn NC what part of NC is it located?

Great job. Enjoyed your reenactment!

I have just started writing with a goose quill pen. I have been struggling with the start of a letter after dipping, to be "globby." I think it must take many hours of practice. The pen feels like it wants to turn over in my hand. I just wrote my first full letter, and I was quite unhappy with the result. But after seeing your letter, I think that the uneven distribution of ink is par for this method. I am interested in how you get several words from one dip. I run out of ink after about 4 or 5 letters. Thank you for the tutorial.

Everybody in Scotland knows what a poke is.

Eeerrk, crakky..."Don't slam the screen door, Jeunier".

Thank you Lord, for these Appalachian mountains .... I can't think of a better place to be born and raised

Ain't nothing wrong with mountain folk or the way they talk , mighty fine folks

I grew up in central North. Carolina, working in tobacco was how we made money for lots of things growing up. Mom and Dad didn’t give us spending money. I have worked in tobacco, worked in hay, mowed grass among other dirty jobs for money. When l grew up l raised 27 crops of tobacco on my father’s farm and worked a third shift job. My son worked on the farm as long as he was in school and college. Makes a difference growing up working.

Jim tom too hahaha real mountain men that's sidgoggly

Popcorn Sutton last of the real moonshiners

As a historian and cigar smoker, I found this video to be very interesting.

Bangladesh tobacco price 1.5 dulars

I've been to Asheville NC isn't it just about the same

I grew up in Salem, SC, mountains of South Carolina. I learned these words when I was just a little bitty girl!

We bailed it up into bales for the market. Y’all must do it different. Southwest, Va here.

My father grew up on a tobacco farm. He spoke about how the daily tasks shaped him early on during his youth in the early mid-1900s... My father didn't go into much detail about his life, and I recently found out that his father indeed lived with them but was sick with Black-Lung from working as a Coal Miner in the Kentucky mining industry when he could find work. My dad's family eeked out an existence by selling tobacco as best they could. A documentary about Kentucky displayed how difficult and segregated life was for him at that time, and I'm blessed he and his brothers were able to survive that era long enough to relocate to the Midwest. My father served in the Air Force for double digit years, and earned a Master's Degree in Chemistry. He ultimately became the head supervisor for all the Chicago Board of Health Labs [~30], and had a Genius IQ that allowed him to repair expensive lab equipment instinctively. My dad was grossly underpaid, constantly gaslit, and lived under the constant threat of being fired with his reputation ruined due to glass-ceiling ra:cial politics back then. He was loved by all, yet he was a hard man for me to love because he took the weight of the world out on me sometimes. However, as an older man I'm relearning how much I indeed appreciate my father. I'm preparing for a new growing season, and I'll try my hand at some tobacco in honor of my dad... When he died, I did not cry... I'm crying now...

My family came over from Germany and lived in the mountains and slowly migrated down east of Charlotte. Part of me feels like I belong up there in those hills.

Lotta money up there now

This was a very great and informative video, easy to watch, too! Thank you to all of you who helped make it, you taught me a lot :)

I’m curious. Why is it that the people let the dark brown tribal people get reclassified and taken into slavery and no longer reacted? Why are only the ones who have mostly European blood accepted while we all know that all the dark skinned Americans are misclassified as so called African Americans? Now many are confused how do you think our Land Spirits are going to deal with that reality? When did the tribe become white only no blackies? We have not learned our lessons yet have we?

Funny thing is they’re all moonshiners

The way these people talk is almost exactly the same way people here in Southeastern Kentucky speak, as well as the people just a few miles away in TN/KY! I do think the word peckerwood has a universal meaning and understanding though! 🤗

lol "Some people will say, you gonna get knocked in the head!" and he said "well i guess i'll just be knocked i guess...."

Many of those words were in use when I was a kid and we're not from the mountains of NC.

Rip popcorn sutton

I was a boy topping tobacco until the day I bit the head off of a "d'bacca" worm and became a man.

when everything hits the fan a lot of people's going to wish they were like these people like when you say what for Appalachian talk is what fur I'm from Tennessee and I heard my granddad say when he was a kid he could buy a big poke of candy for a nickel which is to say a bag of candy but then they called it a poke of candy

What's funny is some need subtitles, but I understand every word. My whole family talks this way. I love it.
