Earl Hamner Jr.: The Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal]  When I look back on Walton's Mountain, I remember that our parents, by word and by example, took some pains to teach us the practical lessons of life and its virtues. But, though I had been well taught, there came a time when I doubted my own honesty and questioned its true value.

• Narrator : Outside our mountain, the world was in deep depression, but we were sheltered by a common bond: the accomplishment of one was the accomplishment of all. We shared our glories, our defeats, our hopes, our aspirations, but mostly, our love.
