Earl Hamner Jr.: The Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal]  There were times when the war seemed further away and life on the mountain went about its ordinary business. My father often said that he didn't have to sail the seven seas, or swim the Hellespont, or soar with the eagles if he wanted high adventure. All he had to do was wake up in the morning and his family, or his friends, or a total stranger would ride up the road and hand it to him.
