I met and enjoyed Willard. His grandson, Willard Watson III, is now an outstanding student at Appalachian State in Boone.

This is how America should be.

Did anybody pay attention to the fact that he is the cousin of the great Doc Watson?

@thatcrazychick7 well i promise you there aint people like my great grandpa anymore i dont care who they are trust me it aint the liquor that made him the last mountain man you need to watch the video again and pay attention

I remember old Willard Watson. I thought he looked like Charlie Chaplin when he danced, like a wooden marionette, very lanky, but smooth too.

You are right that they are still around. Speaking of "The Last Mountain Man," there was a book "The Last of the Mountain Men" by Everett Peterson that was about Sylvan Hart, a man who went to the Idaho Mountains with nothing but tools and an Engineering Degree and made everything he needed by himself. Truly amazing man!

Yep, and a little likker-based vanilla flavorin' behind the ears to smell good for yer sweetie, just like Granny on "The Beverly Hillbillies." LOL!
You just gotta love moonshinin' country folk!

Take it easy, NNJ! If you share the fierce, independent, resourceful, self-reliant spirit of the mountain man, no matter where you are, you are a true American too...It's just that there's not many of us anymore. You sure wouldn't find the likes of Willard Watson campaigning for Socialized Medicine or lining up for bail-out money.
