The Feuding Hatfields & McCoys

To be featured as resource material in the 2012 History Channel documentary, directed by Mark Cowen, on the Hatfield-McCoy Feud, this book is penned by the late Dr. Coleman C. Hatfield, great-grandson of Devil Anse Hatfield and grandson of Cap Hatfield. The book reflects Dr. Hatfield's unique voice throughout. The co-author is Mountain State author and historian F. Keith Davis.

“As a scion of one of the feuding families of the Allegheny and Cumberland hills, and one whose forebearers began their trek westward from the Virginia coast, I offer the following for all who may be interested or desire to hear the facts from one who has first-hand knowledge of the people of whom he writes.” — Dr. Coleman C. Hatfield

This book is about two proud families and, as mentioned, is written in the distinctive voice of Dr. Coleman C. Hatfield. It's a title that includes a comprehensive timeline of the Hatfield family migration westward and documents the history before, during, and following the bloody Hatfield & McCoy feud era. There are also special family stories, which have never been published before, that add color and clarity to the famous feud and family history. This is also a pictorial history that features rare and interesting photographs from both families.

Besides being historically significant, this volume is a wonderful keepsake for those who call the Appalachian Mountains home, or for those traveling the rugged roadways of West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia.
