Appalachian Pot Pourri

Episode Summary

This episode dishes up a little taste of everything, as the ensemble cast tells stories of all things Appalachia, past through present: Living through the Great Depression in Jonesborough, the coming of WWII; treating illnesses before the use of penicillin; and other memories like switching from wagons to automobiles.
