  • This is looking up the hill from in front of Jim Bale’s cabin, as the fog is lifting. Unlike the cabin theses are Jim Bale’s. This is an example of early Appalachian buildings. It’s also an example of the rocky ground some people had to make ends meet on. They lived a hard life but they didn’t have to worry about a lot of the crime and terrorism we face. They were a rough, proud people that shaped this country. They made do with what they had and lived by basic principles. A lot of these principles seemed lost today. This is located on the Roaring Fork Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.See my Jim Bale’s Place image for more on this farm. sepia tones can be adjusted upon request

  • A view of the Tipton Place from inside the double pen corn crib. I remember as a child playing hide an seek an peeping around the corner to see if I was close to being found. Early American children had little time to play but I’m sure they had time for games. Perhaps too they snuck out to the corn crib to smoke or take a few swallers of moonshine. Maybe the missus didn’t approve of those vises an dad was the one watching out from the corn crib….side notes here the structure in front back of the fence is the wood shed and the roof ya see back of the place is where they keep there bees which were very profitable.
