    Go to Amazon, do a search on Hatfield and McCoys. There's several books to choose from, there was a lot written about that feud.

    I don’t know much except I am surrounded by Hatfield and McCoy families. They are everywhere! There were a couple of them in my house helping me move to my new place. Some are from the actual families involved around here. They must not dwell on it much because some are Hatfield McCoy families.

    Bobby Hatfield, Grandson of Cap Hatfield and Great Grandson Devil Anse Hatfield was a good friend of mine. He said that the series done by the History Channel was the most accurate of any account that he’d seen.
