Long Synopsis:
America's most notorious family feud began in 1865 with the murder of a Union
McCoy soldier by a Confederate Hatfield relative. More than a decade later
Randall McCoy accused a Hatfield of stealing his hogs. This accusation
triggered years of violence and retribution, including
aRomeo-and-Julietinterlude that led to the death of a young McCoy woman and her
baby. In a drunken brawl, three of her brothers killed a Hatfield, so the
Hatfields tied them up and shot them dead. McCoy posses hijacked some of this
firing squad across state lines to stand trial, while those still free burned
down Randal McCoy's cabin and shot two of his children in a botched attempt to
defeat the posses. Legal wrangling ensued, until the Supreme Court ruled that
Kentucky could try the captured West Virginian Hatfields. Seven went to prison,
and one, mentally disabled, yelled, "The Hatfields made me do it!" as he was
hanged. But the feud didn't end there. Its legend continues to have an enormous
impact on the popular imagination and the region. Here is a fascinating new
look at the infamous Hatfield-McCoy feud.
