I agree it had a good peice about the Clinchfield. Sometimes the History Channel does a good job actually presenting History I think.

There is a little hillbilly here and there in the hollars and woods. Amazing how they went out to the wilderness of the far western lands of the orginal Colonies and lived how they want to.

Makes me wonder of any of those bodies are part of the ballast or tunnel stuctures today on that there Clinchfield or any large engineering works for that matter.

I've posted this before as it contains a great piece on the Clinchfield RR. It's on The History Channel right now.
