  Wow! I know the info may not be out there but I&apos;d love a part 2 to this about how his family reacted to finding out it was his own son who turned him in. Did they welcome him home with open arms after the war? Was he too chicken to go home and face them? Did he survive the war? Regardless, bravo for those men standing up for their community in the worst of times. Thanks for another great story, JD. Loving book 1 so far!

  Strange as it may sound, my maiden name is Skaggs. We are kin to the family of Gregory that used to live here. During the Civil War, my father&apos;s people &nbsp;packed up what they needed and moved so deep into the woods that no one knew they were out there. They took back their old ways. They were a mix of Cherokee. Now, It is understandable to me why they moved and hid. There was no peace for anyone during the Civil War. Thank you for this video. I have never heard this story before.

  This is close to my hometown of Kingsport. Family has lived here for 6 generations from Bristol. Love to hear the old stories of the Appalachains.

  My wife and I just visited Cades Cove for the first time today. Sopped at all the churches and gravesites and saw many Gregory’s buried there. I have no clue if they’re any relations to me, but I’m going to find out. Very fascinating.
