Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] They came from the mountains, from the plains, the east coast and the west. During World War Two, America was a nation on the move. People from all walks of life and different sections of the country were coming together, learning about each other's customs, exchanging ideas, and sometimes falling in love.
