- Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] Usually each family has its own special folklore, stories and anecdotes polished smooth with the telling. The setting for most of our legends was Waltons Mountain. But one favorite part of our folklore took place far from the mountain when my father had served overseas in what was then called The Great War. To us children, my father's stories of the places he'd seen and the men he'd known were endlessly fascinating. And then, one day, a legend came to visit us.
