The Narrator
- Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] A different sound, an unfamiliar shape or shadow instantly alerts the creatures of the wild. Growing up on Waltons Mountain, seldom traveling far from the place we were born, we came to share this immediate awareness of something different, something new. It seems now in recollection that one of the milestone events of my nineteenth year followed the appearance in our community of something decidedly different, something none of us had ever seen before.
