The origins of the Hatfield-McCoy conflict (between the Hatfield family of West Virginia, led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield, and the McCoy family of Kentucky, led by Randolph "Old Randall" McCoy) begins with a dispute over a pig. From here, it escalated from minor disagreements to violent encounters that spanned decades, nearly sparking a war between the two states. Today’s guest is Jennifer Bennie, host of the Walk With History podcast. We look at the historical context of the feud, its escalation from minor disputes to violent encounters, and its significance in American folklore. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FAR AWAY FROM the Beaver State, in the backcountry of West Virginia by the Kentucky border, a man named Floyd Hatfield was the proud owner of a fine razorback hog. A distant neighbor, from across the Tug River on the Kentucky side, saw the hog one day, and claimed the hog was really his. He could tell, he said, by the distinctive notches in the hog's ear. Hatfield was enraged; the neighbor was basically calling him a thief, an insult that was, in the heart of Appalachia just after the Civil War, not to be borne. The neighbor took Hatfield to court, suing for the return of the hog, and lost. But the Justice of the Peace was Anderson Hatfield, a relative of Floyd, and the neighbor was convinced the fix was in. Now the neighbor was enraged too. That was in late 1878, and the dispute over the allegedly stolen hog blossomed out over the following 12 years into the most notorious family feud in U.S. history. The neighbor, as you have probably guessed by now, was named McCoy — Randolph McCoy. The Hatfield-McCoy feud ended with more than a dozen members of both families being measured for coffins, and a decade or so of prosecutions for murder. The stakes in the Lincoln City-Great Falls, Mont., feud, if it can be called that, are a lot less serious. In fact, the whole situation is the kind of thing that's just fun and funny. But the parallels are striking, and — now that nearly 150 years has passed since the last Hatfield-McCoy blood was spilled — amusing....

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!The Hatfields and the McCoys: A Tale of Blood, Betrayal, and VengeanceThe roots of the Hatfield-McCoy feud trace back to the Civil War era. Both families were large, influential, and fiercely loyal to their kin. The Hatfields, led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield, resided in West Virginia, while the McCoys, headed by Randolph "Randall" McCoy, lived across the Tug Fork River in Kentucky. Despite their geographical proximity, the families held deep-seated differences that would eventually ignite a full-blown conflict.The Catalyst: A Pig and a MurderThe first major spark in the feud came in 1878 over a seemingly trivial matter—a pig. Floyd Hatfield, a cousin of Devil Anse, was accused by Randolph McCoy of stealing a hog. The case went to trial, with Bill Staton, a relative of both families, testifying in favor of the Hatfields. The jury, composed mainly of Hatfields, ruled in Floyd's favor, further inflaming the McCoys' sense of injustice.Tensions escalated in 1882 when three of Randolph McCoy's sons—Tolbert, Pharmer, and Bud—were involved in a drunken brawl with two of Devil Anse's brothers, Ellison and Elias Hatfield. The fight ended with the McCoy brothers brutally stabbing and shooting Ellison. While Ellison lay dying, the Hatfields captured the McCoy brothers and executed them in retaliation after Ellison succumbed to his injuries.Bloodshed and Legal BattlesThe feud reached its peak during the 1880s, marked by a series of violent confrontations and legal disputes. In 1888, the Hatfields launched a deadly raid on Randolph McCoy's home, killing two of his children and severely injuring his wife. This event, known as the New Year's Day Massacre, horrified the nation and prompted intervention from the state governments and the press.Authorities from Kentucky and West Virginia struggled to maintain control, and the feud drew national attention. Numerous trials ensued, with members of both families being arrested, tried, and even executed for their crimes. The most notable of these trials was that of "Cotton Top" Mounts, a Hatfield relative who was convicted and hanged for his involvement in the New Year's Day Massacre.The End of an EraBy the early 1890s, the feud had begun to wane. The relentless violence had taken its toll, and both families faced increased pressure from law enforcement and public opinion. In 1891, Devil Anse Hatfield, weary of the bloodshed, negotiated a truce with Randolph McCoy. The peace was tenuous, but it marked the end of the most violent chapter in the feud's history.Legacy of the FeudThe Hatfield-McCoy feud left a lasting legacy on American culture, symbolizing the destructive power of familial loyalty and vengeance. The story has been retold in countless books, films, and television shows, capturing the imagination of generations.Subscribe and Stay TunedFor more gripping true crime stories, subscribe to Hitched 2 Homicide.

But now scenic Paint Creek, named for ancient trees once painted blood-red by Native American warriors, is gaining ground as a destination for fishing, paddling, and back-road travel. William Hughes, the mayor of the Town of Pax, through which the Paint Creek wanders, is a chief proponent of careful development along the stream. “If there's one thing that Pax has been known for, it's that it has a trout stream, and that's something not every town can claim,” Hughes says. “People have always come to Pax to fish.” A longtime fan of the stream, photographer Molly Wolff has begun kayaking it and has found it even more attractive since. “It's wonderful to have a road that continues along such a beautiful stretch of water with fantastic spots to get out and enjoy, though now, after getting into whitewater kayaking, I love and appreciate Paint Creek even more,” she said.

Matt Ballard is the Executive Director and CEO of the West Virginia Regional Technology Park in South Charleston. Today, the Tech Park has blossomed into a beating heart of research and development in the Kanawha Valley, supporting a dynamic workforce of about 900 people. Before this current position, Ballard served as the President and CEO of the Charleston Area Alliance and was the Executive Director at the Hatfield-McCoy Regional Recreation Authority. An ideal place to turn an abstract idea into a market-ready product, the Tech Park's main goal is to develop new technologies and diversify the economy of West Virginia. With a strong focus on energy, chemicals, materials, and biotechnology, this place is a hotbed for turning dreams into reality.

This week the ONUC gals are talking about the infamous Hatfield-McCoy Feud. If you only know bits and pieces about the story, then you might not know how intense this family feud might have been. The militia in two states are threatened to be called in, there's a love story, and it all led to the final event the New Year's Massacre. The Hatfield-McCoy feud is the most infamous, longest, and bloodiest family feud in American history. Trigger Warning Level: LowVisit our website www.onenationundercrime.com for all of the ways to contact and follow us.

Peter's Bear themed week begins with a first for us as we review a silent movie. American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter Larry Semon collaborated three times with Stan Laurel, who went on to partner with some other guy that even I know the name of despite being pretty unknowledgeable about this era of cinema, and the second of their efforts was 1918's BEARS AND BAD MEN, a Hatfield-McCoy inspired farce about a feud between two neighbouring families which is complicated by the arrival of two bears. Featuring some convincing and imaginative special effects, creative editing and a memorable cast, the whole thing has been generously preserved for free on YouTube and is worth checking out even if it does manage to overstay its short run time a little by the end. Also featured: we mispronounce Larry Semon's name in an obvious way and Cris reveals this movie gave him narcolepsy. We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

Topics discussed on this episode include Wes' tv habits as of late, an update on friend of the show Miggy C., the origins of Covid-19, the Sinaloa Cartel and the War on Drugs, Ben Savage running for Congress in California, people eating oranges in the shower on TikTok, the NBA, March Madness, the Biden Administration being sued for failing to release JFK assassination records on time, the President of Mexico seeing an elf, zombie imposter queen ants, and the Famous Hatfield-McCoy Feud.

Turn on some classic cartoons from the 1960s and one of the voices you're sure to hear is that of June Foray, the finest female voice actor of the 20th Century. From Stan Freberg parodies, to voicing Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas, to playing Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Natasha Fatale on the classic Rocky and Bullwinkle show June was everywhere during the golden age of TV cartoons. In later life, June also became an tireless advocate for advancing the animation arts. The great Looney Tunes director Chuck Jones once said that June wasn't the female Mel Blanc - Mel was the male June Foray. High praise indeed! Find more June Foray below and thanks for sharing our shows. Want more June Foray? When June came to Hollywood she soon found a friend and fan in Stan Freberg, the master of parody. In one of her best roles, June plays "Little Blue Riding Hood" being interrogated by Stan's tough cop (an early take on his Joe Friday impersonation). https://youtu.be/hzDvoJWB3t4 When it comes to enthusiasm, few cartoon characters match Rocket J. Squirrel, the plucky flying rodent who is Bullwinkle's best friend. June's voice for Rocky is animation gold. In this bit Rocky and Bullwinkle stumble into the Hatfield-McCoy feud with predictable results. https://youtu.be/a4LPQEljkRE Rocky and Bullwinkle debuted during the Cold War and that resulted in one of June's signature character -- super spy Natasha Fatale who labored (with Boris Badenov) in futility to bring down "Moose and Squirrel". https://youtu.be/4txmBNCAXg8

Romans 12:17-21Rev. Erik Veerman10/23/2022Revenge: the End GameOur sermon text this morning is Romans 12:17-21 and you can find that on page 1127 in the pew Bibles This is the conclusion to our brief Romans 12 series. Next Sunday is what we call Reformation Sunday, so we'll have a special focus for that. If you are not sure what that means, come next week. And then in November, we'll jump into the book of 1 John.Again, Romans 12:17-21.StandPrayerIntroductionIt started in 1878 (allegedly). Rand'l McCoy accused his neighbors, the Hatfields, of stealing his hog. The Hatfields contended, though, that the hog was theirs, not the McCoys. After all, it had their earmark. And so it began.You see, Rand'l McCoy, along with his wife and their 13 children, lived in Kentucky, right on the border of West Virginia. And just the other side of the Tug Fork river, in West Virginia, lived Anderson Hatfield, along with his wife and their 13 children. They called him Devil Anse Hatfield.It seemed like a small quibble, but in the summer of 1880, two of Rand'l McCoy's sons killed the man who testified against their ownership of the hog. But it didn't end there, in 1882, three younger McCoy sons killed Ellison Hatfield, Devil Anise's brother. In retaliation, all three of those McCoy brothers were kidnapped, tied up, and executed in brutal fashion by members of the Hatfield clan. As a result, 20 Hatfields were indicted but they all eluded arrest given they lived in West Virginia and not Kentucky. Tensions escalated. The feud continued in 1886 and 87 when friends of both families were killed.Then in 1888, Cap and Vance Hatfield, sons of Devil Anse, along with other members of their family surrounded the McCoy house at night. They first opened fire with their guns. They then lit the house on fire. As the McCoy family fled, two McCoy children were shot and killed. Rand'l's wife, Sara was captured, beaten, and let for dead. Two days later, Vance Hatfield was killed by the McCoys along with three Hatfield family supporters.That led to a lawsuit. Kentucky's governor and West Virginia's governor both entered the fray. They weren't trying to quell the violence, rather, they opposed each other. The lawsuit escalated to the US Supreme Court. Eventually, seven men were convicted. One executed for his crimes and the others imprisoned for life.Over the 10-year period from 1878 to 1888, a dozen Hatfields and McCoys were killed. Young and old died, families were broken, anger reigned, and the skirmishes continued for the next 20 years. Vengeance ruled the day. And it likely started over the ownership of a hog.Revenge is a never-ending downward spiral. It often leads to escalated feelings of bitterness. It may not end in murder, but the offended party inflicts some sort of pay-back. Then the offended party becomes the offending, and the cycle continues.There's something deep down in us, in our natural state, that justifies our revenge. The parents here can tell you, revenge is not something taught. You hurt my teddy bear! …we'll I'm going to pull the eyeballs off of your stuffed alligator. Hmf. Well, along comes the Apostle Paul, and in a matter of a few verses, he rejects any and all vengeance. And did you notice? It's a theme that he's repeated multiple times. Go back up to verse 15. “Bless those who persecute you.” Not identical, but a very similar idea. Verse 17 and 19 are very similar. “Repay no one evil for evil.” And “never avenge yourselves.” Verse 21. “Overcome evil with good.” Do you see that repeated emphasis?Now, we're not told about any particular situation in the church in Rome, but I think the repetition here lends itself toward some situation. Maybe a couple of church members in Rome were at odds and it began to escalate. Or maybe there were some unbelievers who were provoking the Christians, and people in the church wanted to get revenge. Or maybe Paul was addressing a cultural propensity for revenge.Roman society was very much oriented around reciprocity. You do something for me, and I'll return the favor and do something for you. You scratch my back, I'll scratch your back. In fact, recent academic studies have identified ancient Roman reciprocity as a significant part of the economic system of the day. So, if you lived in Rome in the first century, you had a responsibility to give to others and receive from others in return.But the thing is, the negative reciprocation also applies. We call that retribution. You do something bad to me, well, then, you deserve something bad from me. Yes, seeking revenge is natural part of our sinful condition, but the cultural inclination of retribution only intensified the sinful desire for revenge. So, whether Paul was addressing a specific situation or whether it was a broader concern (or maybe both), the apostle felt compelled to drive his point home: Revenge has no place in the Christian life.Notice, there are no qualifications here? Does it say: “Repay no one evil for evil, except when someone slanders you behind your back?” Or does it say, “Beloved, never avenge yourself… well, except when someone insults you or makes you feel ashamed?” Not at all. “Repay no one for evil” and “never avenge.” That means setting aside all the ways that you try to get back at others.Now, I don't suspect that any of you have gone to extremes for revenge. But have you given someone the silent treatment? Or have you avoided someone or pulled back from your relationship? Have you decided to just dismiss all of their concerns or ideas? Or when interacting with someone who offended you, do you have an attitude that lets them know you don't care for them? Or have you said to someone else, “you know, you should watch out for this [other] person?” Or have you taken some sort of legal action (in the church or in the civil courts)? Now, I'm not saying that a formal action is never necessary, but when you goal is just to make someone's life difficult, then your motives need to be checked. I'm sure you can come up with several other ways that you take revenge.But how does it all end? What, if anything, will stop the cycle of retaliation? That's the big question here. These verses do a lot more than just tell us not to take revenge. They give us the path to end revenge. To end the cycle of retribution.Let's consider three parts that answer the question, How do we end revenge?1. Our part in ending revenge2. God's part in ending revenge3. Jesus' part in ending revenge.Our part, God's part – meaning God the Father, and Jesus' part, God the son.1. Ending revenge: Our part (honor – 12:17; peace – 12:18; and goodness – 12:20-21)So first, our part.Really, there is so much in here for us. Every single verse here gives us a contrast. It's not just a list of do nots, it includes a list of dos. What should we do instead of taking revenge?Look at it. Verse 17. “Repay no one evil for evil, BUT give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.” Verse 19 is very similar. “Never avenge yourselves, BUT leave it to the wrath of God.” We'll come back later to what that means.Verse 20 lists several things to do instead of taking revenge (it's a quote from Proverbs 25). Feed your enemy, give him something to drink. And verse 21. “Do not be overcome by evil, BUT,” it says, “overcome evil with good.”Our part is not just refraining from taking revenge, but instead, it's honoring, it's being peaceable, it's loving our enemies. It's doing good and not evil.And, I think you know, these verses are not isolated in the Bible as a whole. In his sermon on the mount, Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” That's a phrase that means do not retaliate. Jesus continues, “And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.” Or take Leviticus 19:18. It says, “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.”Our responsibility is to love. It's to turn the other cheek, it's to give to those who steal from you.In Victor Hugo's well known novel, Les Miserable, the main character, Jean Valjean, had been imprisoned for stealing bread. His sister and her family were starving. Can you imagine? For years Valjean labored in chains. The punishment was way beyond the crime. He's finally released, but no one would take him in. To many, he was still a criminal. Yet, a kind bishop took him in. This man gave Valjean food and a place to sleep. However, Valjean was still weighed down by his hopeless future. And so he stole the bishop's silver plates and utensils. He put them in his bag and fled in the middle of the night.But soon after, the police detained him. They found the stolen silver and dragged Valjean back to the Bishop. This, for sure, he thought, would be the end for him. For those of you that know the story, how did the Bishop respond? Did he say, “That man doesn't deserve to be free. He stole my silver. Throw him back in prison!” No, no! Instead, the Bishop did the opposite. He said that Valjean had forgotten to take the silver candlesticks. They were also a gift, he said. And he puts them in Valjean's trembling hands. And then the Bishop bids the Sergeant farewell.Jean Valjean's lyrics from the musical capture it well.Yet why did I allow that man, To touch my soul and teach me love?He treated me like any other, He gave me his trust, He called me brother, My life he claims for God above, Can such things be?For I had come to hate the world, This world that always hated meTake an eye for an eye! Turn your heart into stone!This is all I have lived for! This is all I have known!One word from him and I'd be back, Beneath the lash, upon the rackInstead he offers me my freedom, I feel my shame inside me like a knifeHe told me that I have a soul, How does he know?What spirit comes to move my life? Is there another way to go?That undeserved grace transformed Valjean. He was no longer a prisoner, no longer a slave. He experienced goodness and love.All those things that these Romans 12 verses speak of… overcoming evil with good, providing for your enemy, they all break the cycle.Look at the end of verse 20, “for by doing so, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Now, no one is exactly sure what that phrase means, but I think what happened to Valjean captures it. The act of kindness and grace by the Bishop overwhelmed Valjean. In other words, he couldn't get it out of his mind – like burning coals on his head. And it deeply changed him.God, through the apostle Paul, is very interested in this peace and kindness affecting others. He's very interested in our outward display of good and not evil. Both the end of verse 17 and the end of verse 18 emphasize that. He says, do what is honorable “in the sight of all.” He wants people to see a community that displays love, that does not repay evil with evil. It's transformational. The end of 18 is similar. “Live peaceably with all.” Do you see that emphasis? Our actions should visibly demonstrate Christianity's radical response to evil. Doing so, will impact those around us. To be sure, it may not lead to peace. That's clear here, too. Verse 18. “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Every circumstance is an opportunity to live at peace, but every circumstance may not result in peace.Bottom line, retribution is not part of the Christian life. Rather than revenge, we're to honor others, pursue peace, display love, and return evil with good. Instead of fostering conflict and allowing revenge to spiral out of control, we're to break the cycle and do the opposite. And when we do, we're doing our part to put an end to revenge.2. Ending revenge: God's part (wrath and justice – 12:19)There's a second emphasis here, though. God's part. It is found in verse 19. “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God.” Then he goes on to quote Deuteronomy 32, which we've read earlier in our service. “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.”The reason we should not take revenge, is because vengeance is God's role. It's part of his responsibility. We're on point 2, by the way. God's part in ending revenge is being the only one who justly and rightly avenges evil. I was thinking about Anselm of Canterbury this week. He lived 1000 years ago – the 11th century. One of his most well-known works is titled Why the God Man? Cur Deus Home, in the Latin. He asks the question, why did God become man in the person of Jesus? Why? Why was it necessary?It's a critical question. And actually, a lot of his arguments pull out different theological points made in the book of Romans.A very central part of Anselm's argument is what he calls the retributive justice of God. In other words, retribution is central to God's nature as a perfectly just being. Nothing in his character is unjust or unholy. Therefore, nothing unjust or unholy can be in his presence. And originally, humanity reflected God's character – and so all was good. However, when humanity fell in Adam, the dishonor and rejection of God and his commands resulted in mankind's corrupted nature. We became unjust and unholy in God's presence.Anselm demonstrated the incompatibility of God's infinite holiness and justice with any and all unholiness. Even the slightest sin, as Anselm puts it, results in a debt to God greater than the value of all creation.Think of the sun (s-u-n). The sun is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. Anything that is close to the sun will burn up. It will be incinerated. It's the very nature of the sun. That's similar to anything unholy or unjust in God's presence. It cannot withstand God's presence. That's like God's justice. He will avenge any and all unholiness and injustice. The thing is, we are 92.5 million miles away from the sun. That's why we don't get burned up. But think about this, as big as the sun is, it is nothing compared to God's infinite nature. There's no safe distance to which we can flee from God's holy presence.That's what Anselm was saying. Verse 19 validates that. God is the avenger. God alone is the one who is perfectly just in responding with vengeance on evil and sin.And here's the point: when you take revenge on someone else, you are playing God. You are putting yourself in the role that only God is to fulfill. He's the only one to ultimately deal with any and all evil inflicted against you.Now, God has ordained a role for the civil government to deal with injustice. But that is different from you, individually, trying to avenge injustice. In fact, Romans chapter 13 deals with the civil authority.The point in these verses is that God will ultimately avenge wrongs. He will put an end to all unrighteousness, all evil, all unholiness, and all injustice. That's his part in ending revenge.3. Ending revenge: Jesus' part (honor, peace, goodness, wrath)So, our part in ending revenge is turning the tables on what's done to us. It's repaying evil with good. It's showing honor and being peaceable. Our part also involves recognizing God's part. Vengeance is his alone. As the Lord declares in his word, “I will repay.”But the truth of God's just retribution also comes with a harsh reality. If God in his infinite holiness and infinite justice will repay any and all unholiness and injustice, then we are all condemned. None of us can escape the wrath of God against sin. As Romans 3 says, “no one is righteous.” It says, “all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.”When we recognize that we've offended God, that we deserve his just judgment as well, it does two things. First, we see that we're also guilty. It helps us see that our revenge will not accomplish justice – it will only further injustice. But second, it drives us to God.Let's go back to Anselm. He laid out a case for God's retributive justice based on his character. He demonstrated that any sin or unholiness, no matter how small is deserving of God's just punishment. Therefore, all humanity is condemned. And by the way, Anselm was merely conveying what the Scriptures teach about God, the fall, and us.And then, Anselm answers the question, “why the God man?” Why did God need to come in the flesh? Why Jesus? Why? Because the only way that God's divine retribution could be satisfied is by an infinite payment of the debt. Only a God-man could to that. In other words, Jesus, as God, and as man, perfectly holy and just, was the only way for the penalty to be paid. That is the hope of Christ. God's vengeance satisfied by the infinite debt that Jesus paid on the cross for those who believe.That is the Gospel.Let me put it this way: Jesus' part in ending revenge involved becoming the object of God's just vengeance – his wrath.But that's not the only thing. Jesus part in ending revenge was not limited to being the substitute for those who believe. No, Jesus also perfectly fulfilled our part in ending revenge. Every part of our responsibility in these verses was accomplished by Jesus in his life and death.Take Verse 17 and 21 – “repay no one evil for evil…” and “overcome evil with good.” Jesus responded to the evil committed against him with good. Instead of retaliating, he submitted to the suffering and torture and mocking. He prayed to his Father for those who were persecuting him. He suffered unto death so that the greatest good could be accomplished. Verse 18, Jesus lived in peace and brought peace. Jesus came near to sinners to call them to him. Verse 20, to his enemies, Jesus offered the bread of life and the water that would satisfy their thirst forever.In those ways, Jesus has gone before us. He's both the example of repaying evil with good and the reason we can repay evil with good.In real life situations, whatever the offence is, we can look to Christ. Nothing compares to the rejection he underwent as God, or the death he endured, taking on God's wrath. So, in the day-to-day evil and offences we receive, we can respond with honor and peace and goodness just as Christ did for us. That is what will break the cycle of revenge. Pursuing our part to end revenge through Christ… and seeing God's part, the only one who can justly avenge, fulfilled in Jesus.ConclusionI wish I could say that the Hatfield McCoy feud ended in the 1800s with an amazing reconciliation in Christ. No, it didn't. The feuding continued for years. But in 2003, about 70 descendants of both Devil Anse Hatfield and Rand'l McCoy got together. They formally signed a peace treaty. No, they didn't quote Romans 12 (although that would have been nice for my sermon illustration!). It was more of a social statement of unity. Their signed document say this: “injuries and wrongdoings to and by our ancestors in years past are now committed henceforth to history and that from this day forward the Hatfields and McCoys stand united.” But they did include these words: “We ask by God's grace and love that we would be forever remembered as those that bound together two families...”The offenses and evil that we each experience may not rise to the level of that fateful feud. But whatever we experience, may God's grace in Christ help us to end the cycle of revenge. May we repay evil with good and seek peace and honor. And may we see God as the only who can justly avenge, and Christ Jesus who has received that vengeance for those who believe.

Can a middle ground be found for immigration reform? For without it, are any immigration policy changes possible? It's true, of course, that immigration discussions often resemble a modern day Hatfield – McCoy feud. Most mainstream media accounts paint immigration discourse as a picture of two warring tribes. And on the surface, the art of diplomacy seems permanently lost in Congress. Yet, compromise is, in fact, possible. One state has staked out a claim to establishing that middle ground.

Desperate: An Epic Battle for Clean Water and Justice in Appalachia by Kris Maher Erin Brockovich meets Dark Waters in this propulsive and heart-wrenching legal drama set in Appalachian coal country, as one determined lawyer confronts a coal industry giant in a battle over clean drinking water for a West Virginia community—from Wall Street Journal reporter Kris Maher. For two decades, the water in the taps and wells of Mingo County didn't look, smell, or taste right. Could it be the root of the health problems—from kidney stones to cancer—in this Appalachian community? Environmental lawyer Kevin Thompson certainly thought so. For seven years, he waged an epic legal battle against Massey Energy, West Virginia's most powerful coal company, helmed by CEO Don Blankenship. While Massey's lawyers worked out of a gray glass office tower in Charleston known as “the Death Star,” Thompson set up shop in a ramshackle hotel in the fading coal town of Williamson. Working with fellow lawyers and a crew of young activists, Thompson would eventually uncover the ruthless shortcuts that put the community's drinking water at risk. A respected preacher and his brother, retired coal miners, and women whose families had lived in the area's coal camps for generations, all put their trust in Thompson when they had nowhere else to turn. As he dug deeper into the mystery of the water along a stretch of road where the violence from the legendary Hatfield-McCoy feud still echoes, he was pulled into the darkest corners of Mingo County, risking his finances, his marriage, his career, and even his safety. Bringing to life a rich cast of characters and the legacy of coal mining in an essential yet often misunderstood part of America, Desperate is a masterful work of investigative reporting about greed and denial, a revealing portrait of a town besieged by hardship and heartbreak, and an inspiring account of one tenacious environmental lawyer's mission to expose the truth and demand justice.

The Hatfield-McCoy feud wasn't the only feud in eastern Kentucky in the late 1800s, not by a long shot. The Martin-Tolliver feud, the French-Eversole feud, and the Baker-Howard feud were three of many that plagued the region for decades. The gunfights, assassinations, and ambushes lasted for nearly a century. Thanks to our sponsor, Simplisafe.

6 years ago, Aaron Burros was shot 5 times in a workplace shooting. Now, dubbed the "running servant" by friends, he's taking on the challenge of running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 weeks - to celebrate his 50th birthday, tell people about Jesus, and raise money for children battling cancer. Subscribe to the "Run The Race" podcast to hear extraordinary stories and advice from people like him. After my introduction of our guest - who I met last month at the Hatfield McCoy marathon in WV & KY - (5:21) our chat starts with Aaron of Houston TX describing being shot by an intruder at the retailer where he worked and how the trauma changed him. (14:01) How did the shooting affect his ability to run? Doctors say he should've died and will always be in pain, still with parts of 2 bullets in his glutes. Nearly a pro trail runner before being shot, Aaron says God has pulled him from the front of races to the back of the pack to minister to more people. Missing that "runner's high," (22:23) he runs now to, in part, battle PTSD and deal with mental health issues like depression and fears that had him hiding under sinks post-shooting. (27:05) He's seen the Lord heal him and open doors, checking his pride and ego at the door. (31:41) The day after he turned 50 years old in January, Aaron started his 50-50-50 goal, the 1st marathon being in GA and SC. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it even more challenging! (34:51) Having done those races in 27 states so far this year, he's getting messages from people all over the nation, talking to most people he meets about hope in Jesus. He says (39:36) each of these marathons are a different piece of the puzzle, each bringing opportunities to minister to others, even bringing him to tears. Aaron also has a journey of big weight loss. (43:43) At one point, he was close to 390 pounds down and dropped nearly 175 lbs. Hear what he says about deciding to make a "lifestyle change" that jumpstarted his activity and what he's changed for good about what he eats. (46:18) What's his motivation to lead others as the "running servant" and help make races a "party on the pavement"? (50:39) Aaron also has advice for runners on how to avoid injuries. The key word is form. With races still being canceled due to coronavirus precautions, (55:25) we also talk about what's next in his 50 marathon journey in 2021, what upcoming races or scenery he's looking forward to most, and where you can find out more about the #runningservant journey and donate, since hIs mantra is #irunforAiden and he hopes to raise $50,000 for St. Jude Children's Hospital. (1:00:15) After Aaron's closing prayer for Aiden and "running the greatest race for Jesus Christ," I go into my final segments of this episode: (1:05:46) I sing a quick bit of "Run To You" by Whitney Houston (sung to Aaron and I at our marathon) for "Stuck In My Head"...then some motivational speaker wisdom in "Parting Gift." Thanks for listening! And tell your friends about the #RunTheRace podcast. Also, write a quick review about it. For more info, go to www.wtvm.com/podcast/.

Krisha is wearing a Hatfield & McCoy shirt because this episode was recorded on a chilly day. Frank realizes that he should buy himself a Krisha & Frank shirt. Frank has gotten a new roof and new gutters. The installer said that he likes putting quality gutters on customers' “forever homes” better than putting cheaper gutters on a house that is about to go on the market. He said that Frank will die before these gutters need to be replaced. Frank wanted to take a batch of coins to his bank but didn't want to pay the coin-counting fee. He also wanted to avoid the coin-counting machine at the supermarket because of the fee. He read online that he could get full value for his coins if he took payment in the form of a gift card. Frank got an Amazon gift card with the coins and used the money to buy a brush cutter. He plans to cut weeds and bushes in the backyard with the circular saw attachment. You can buy the same Roeam Electric Cordless Weed and Brush Cutter by clicking here: https://amzn.to/2QybbEr Krisha is concerned that Frank will injure himself while using the brush cutter. She also wants him to record a video of himself using it. Krisha hopes Frank's neighbor will act as a safety patrol while he is cutting brush.

Krisha & Frank are in their separate homes due to their busy schedules. Krisha has been working a lot at Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud. Frank has sore muscles from doing yard work. He transplanted two fig bushes to places where they should get more sun. He has also been trying to dig up the roots of some unwanted hedge bushes and redbud trees. Frank put some rocks along part of his property line. He also dug some holes to plant fig cuttings along the property line. He got anxious thinking his neighbor had put up caution tape but it turned out to be forsythia flowers. Krisha has been very busy at Hatfield & McCoy because all the shows are selling out during Spring Break. Other Pigeon Forge attractions have also reported high attendance. Krisha is shopping for a car. Some car dealers have assumed she has to ask her husband. Another called her “darling.” She will not purchase anything from those dealers. Frank's neighbor has two redbuds that are getting in the way of Frank's big fig tree. The neighbor said he would cut the trees some day. While talking with Frank on Friday afternoon, the neighbor said let's do it now! The neighbor told Frank to hold the tree as it fell and push it away from the fence and fig tree. Frank realized it would be safer to get a rope and to pull the tree from the other end of the rope. Today's episode is sponsored by The Middleburg Barn at Fox Chase Farm.

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Dave and Sam talk about the forgotten history of Belle Starr, an infamous outlaw.   Basically everyone has heard of Jesse James. Slightly more obscure is Belle Starr, an outlaw from the same Wild West era, albeit one without the name recognition of James and his gang, with whom she had some ties. In her time she was known as the Bandit Queen and the Petticoat Terror of the Plains. Perhaps most interestingly of all, she was murdered and her murder remains officially unsolved to this day.   Her birth name was Myra Maybelle Shirley (her family mostly knew her as “May”) and she hailed from Carthage, Missouri. Although a prosperous farmer in the region, her father was considered the black sheep of his prominent, old-stock Virginia family. In fact, her father had been divorced twice when she came along, scandalous at the time. Starr was the daughter of his third wife, who had family ties to the Hatfields of the famous Hatfield-McCoy feud.   You can read the full article “Belle Starr: The Untold Story of the American Outlaw Known as the Bandit Queen” at Ammo.com.   For $20 off your $200 purchase, go to https://ammo.com/podcast (a special deal for our listeners).   Follow Sam Jacobs on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamJacobs1776   And check out our sponsor, Libertas Bella, for all of your favorite 2nd Amendment apparel at LibertasBella.com.   Helpful Links:  Belle Starr: The Untold Story of the American Outlaw Known as the Bandit Queen The American Old West: How Hollywood Made It “Wild” to Make Money & Advance Gun Control Resistance Library  Sam Jacobs

Welcome to Logan, WV, formerly named Islands of Guyandot, Lawsonsville, Lawnsville, and Aracoma. Originally explored in the 1780s, the city didn't decide on the current final version of its name until 1907. Logan was a hub of the regional coal industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but the population began to decline after World War II with the increase of mechanized mining techniques. While Logan was home to a surprising number of notable people, like heavyweight boxing champ Jack Dempsey, there are none more recognizable than Devil Anse Hatfield, the partiarch of the Hatfields during the beginnings of the Hatfield McCoy feud. In a strange twist of fate, the area is littered with attractions bearing the names of both clans like the Hatfield and McCoy Moonshine Distillery, the Hatfield McCoy Trail System, and the Hatfield and McCoy Convention and Visitors Bureau. To learn more about the feud and how the two families feel about each other today, listen to the totally made up stuff we improv about them. Enjoy your time in Logan, and remember to never mess with another man's pig.

The Politics of Fury Did Live Footage of U.S. Capitol Raid Threaten Our Democracy? January 10, 2021 – Showing marauders rampaging through the U.S. Capitol last week had the potential to spark further political violence throughout the nation, a former longtime Washington correspondent who spent years reporting from the U.S. Capitol said Sunday. “You think about, in terms of the TV impact, it’s like a 9/11 level impact,” Pete Leffler, who also served as political editor for The Morning Call newspaper in Allentown, Pa. told the Retail Politics Podcast with Gerry Shields. “For earlier generations, it’s a Kennedy assassination, a Dr. Martin Luther King assassination. Fortunately, those weren’t shown live on TV like this was.” Leffler accurately predicted in September that Pennsylvania, which gave Trump the 20 electoral votes needed to win in 2016, and Biden the same in November, would play a crucial role in the election. In addition, he stated at the time that Trump followers would claim the election was stolen and that there would be “blood on the streets.” And though the Capitol violence may have temporarily doused Trump supporter fury, Leffler is not convinced the nation’s Hatfield-McCoy electorate division is near being over. “I hope so but having been a journalist for 40 years, it pains me that two sets of facts have become the norm,” Leffler said. “If 70 million people believe one thing and the rest of us believe something else, how do you unite that? That’s my concern. Trump is gone, but that remains.” # # # Listen to the Pete Leffler Retail Politics Podcast with Gerry Shields interview on Apple, Spotify, and retailpoliticspodcast.com

     This here episode marks the last episode of a very tumultuous year. At Least we gave you the super upbeat story of the Dozier School For Boys for your Christmas listening. This week we are going out with a bang! You may think you know the story, you probably know the names, you didn't know that Moody's wife is directly related to both families, and lastly you probably want us to get to the point. So here it is…. This week we celebrate the new year by talking about none other than the Hatfields and the McCoys...and the new years day massacre.         The patriarchs of each family during the majority of the feud were William Anderson Hatfield and Randolph McCoy.  Hatfield was born September 9, 1839, in western Virginia (now Logan, West Virginia), the son of Ephraim and Nancy (Vance) Hatfield. His nickname "Devil Anse" has a variety of supposed origins: it was given to him by his mother; by Randolph McCoy; earned from his bravery during battle in the American Civil War; or as contrast to his good-tempered cousin, Anderson "Preacher Anse" Hatfield.A Southern sympathizer, Hatfield enlisted in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He was commissioned a First Lieutenant of Cavalry in the Virginia State Line in 1862, a group made to protect the territory along the Kentucky-Virginia border where resident loyalties to the North and South were mixed. The Virginia State Line eventually disbanded in 1863 and Hatfield enlisted as a private in the newly formed 45th Battalion Virginia Infantry, before being appointed first lieutenant and later captain of Company B. His unit spent most of its time patrolling the border area against bushwhackers sympathetic to the Union as well as engaging in guerrilla warfare against Union soldiers. Devil Anse himself has been connected to battles and killings of several Union fighters, including trackers Ax and Fleming Hurley in 1863.Devil Anse and his uncle Jim Vance later formed a Confederate guerrilla fighting unit called the "Logan Wildcats." One of the group's victims was Union General Bill France; killed in revenge for losing one of their members to France's unit.[ In 1865, he was suspected of having been involved in the murder of his rival Asa Harmon McCoy, who had fought for the Union Army and was waylaid by The Wildcats on his return home. Hatfield had been home ill at the time of the killing, which was probably committed at the instigation of his uncle, Jim Vance. This may have sparked the beginning of the notorious feud between the two families that claimed many lives on both sides.Devil Anse was the patriarch leader during the Hatfield-McCoy feud. His family and Randolph McCoy's fought in one of the bloodiest and most well-known feuds in American history. He was instrumental during the execution of McCoy boys Tolbert, Pharmer and Bud, as well as being present during the Battle of Grapevine Creek before most of his sons and friends were arrested for the murder of the McCoys.Hatfield was baptized on September 23, 1911 in Island Creek by William Dyke "Uncle Dyke" Garrett and converted to Christianity (he had maintained a largely agnostic or anti-institutional view of religion prior to this conversion). He went on to found a Church of Christ congregation in West Virginia. He was an uncle of the eventual Governor of West Virginia, and United States Senator, Henry D. Hatfield.         Randolph "Randall"(or sometimes Ol’ Ran’ll) McCoy grew up in the Tug River Valley, which marked the boundary between Kentucky and West Virginia. He was born on the Kentucky side of the valley, one of 13 children. There he learned to hunt and farm, two main ways people living in this part of Appalachia supported themselves. McCoy grew up in poverty. His father, Daniel, had little interest in work, so his mother, Margaret, had to struggle to care for, feed and clothe the family. In 1849, McCoy married his first cousin, Sarah "Sally" McCoy. Sally inherited land from her father a few years after they married. They settled on this 300-acre spread in Pike County, Kentucky, where they had 16 children together.  During the Civil War, McCoy served as a soldier for the Confederacy. He may have even been a part of the same local militia as his later nemesis, William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield.  The Family trees of these men are huge. There are many descendants around to this day. This also made keeping track of some of the issues tricky. Lots of people involved. First cousin marriage. Romeo and juliet type relationships between the families...crazy shit.          The Hatfield–McCoy feud, also described by journalists as the Hatfield–McCoy war, involved two rural American families of the West Virginia–Kentucky area along the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River in the years 1863–1891. The McCoy family lived mostly on the Kentucky side of the Tug Fork; the Hatfields lived mostly on the West Virginia side. The majority of the Hatfields, although living in Mingo County (then part of Logan County) fought for the Confederacy in the American Civil War; most McCoys also fought for the Confederates, with the exception of Asa Harmon McCoy, who fought for the Union.    The Hatfields were more affluent than the McCoys and were well-connected politically. Anse's timbering operation was a source of wealth for his family, while the McCoys were more of a lower-middle-class family. Ole Ran'l owned a 300-acre farm. Both families had also been involved in the manufacturing and selling of illegal moonshine, a popular commodity at the time. The first event in the decades-long feud was the 1865 murder of Randolph’s brother, Asa Harmon McCoy, by the Logan Wildcats, a local militia group that counted Devil Anse and other Hatfields among its members. Many people—even members of his own family—regarded Asa Harmon, who had served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, as a traitor. At the time of his capture, he was recovering from a gunshot wound to the chest. During the early months of the Civil War, Asa joined a company of the Pike County Home Guards, under the command of Uriah Runyon, and it is thought he sustained the wound while serving in this unit. Asa's Company E was mustered out on December 24, 1864, in Ashland. He was killed near his home on January 7, 1865, just thirteen days after leaving the Union Army. A group of Confederate guerillas took credit for the killing and his wife's pension application states that he was "killed by Rebels". There are no existing records pertaining to his death and no warrants were issued in connection with the murder. McCoy family tradition points to James "Jim" Vance, an uncle of Anse and a member of a West Virginia Militia group, as the culprit.         Relations between the two families continued to sour over the next decade before flaring again over a seemingly small matter: a dispute over a single hog. In 1878 Randolph McCoy accused Floyd Hatfield, a cousin of Devil Anse, of stealing one of his pigs, a valuable commodity in the poor region. Floyd Hatfields’s trial took place in McCoy territory but was presided over by a cousin of Devil Anse. It hinged on the testimony of star witness Bill Staton, a McCoy relative married to a Hatfield. Staton testified in Floyd Hatfield’s favor, and the McCoys were infuriated when Floyd was cleared of the charges against him. Two years later, Staton was violently killed in a fracas with Sam and Paris McCoy, nephews of Randolph. Sam stood trial for the murder but was acquitted for self-defense reasons. Within months of Staton’s murder, a heated affair of a different sort was set ablaze. At a local election day gathering in 1880, Johnse Hatfield, the 18-year-old son of Devil Anse, encountered Roseanna McCoy, Randolph’s daughter. According to accounts, Johnse and Roseanna hit it off, disappearing together for hours. Supposedly fearing retaliation from her family for mingling with the Hatfields, Roseanna stayed at the Hatfield residence for a period of time, drawing the ire of the McCoys. Although they certainly shared a romance, it rapidly became clear that Johnse was not about to settle down with Roseanna. Several months later he abandoned the pregnant Roseanna and quickly moved on. In May 1881 he married Nancy McCoy, Roseanna’s cousin. According to the romanticized legend, Roseanna was heartbroken by these events and never recovered emotionally. The real turning point in the feud, according to most historical accounts, occurred on another local election day in August 1882. Three of Randolph McCoy’s sons ended up in a violent dispute with two brothers of Devil Anse. The fight soon snowballed into chaos as one of the McCoy brothers stabbed Ellison Hatfield multiple times and then shot him in the back. Authorities soon apprehended the McCoys, but the Hatfields interceded, spiriting the men to Hatfield territory. After receiving word that Ellison had died, they bound the McCoys to some pawpaw bushes. Within minutes, they fired more than 50 shots, killing all three brothers. Though the Hatfields might have felt their revenge was warranted, the law felt otherwise, quickly returning indictments against 20 men, including Devil Anse and his sons. Despite the charges, the Hatfields eluded arrest, leaving the McCoys boiling with anger about the murders and outraged that the Hatfields walked free. Their cause was taken up by Perry Cline, an attorney who was married to Martha McCoy, the widow of Randolph’s brother Asa Harmon. Years earlier Cline had lost a lawsuit against Devil Anse over the deed for thousands of acres of land, and many historians believe this left him looking for his own form of revenge. Using his political connections, Cline had the charges against the Hatfields reinstated. He announced rewards for the arrest of the Hatfields, including Devil Anse.         The media started to report on the feud in 1887. In their accounts, the Hatfields were often portrayed as violent backwoods hillbillies who roamed the mountains stirring up violence. The sensationalist coverage planted the seed for the rivalry to become cemented in the American imagination. What had been a local story was becoming a national legend. The Hatfields may or may not have been paying attention to these stories, but they were certainly paying attention to the bounty on their heads. In an effort to end the commotion once and for all, a group of the Hatfields and their supporters hatched a plan to attack Randolph McCoy and his family. This attack would become known as the New Year's Day Massacre.       Ever on the offensive, the Hatfields staged a sneak attack on the McCoy homestad. On New Year's Day 1888, they set fire to the McCoy home in what was eventually dubbed the New Year's Night Massacre. According to some accounts, the fire was set while the family was still in the house, asleep, as a means of forcing Randolph McCoy to come outside where a Hatfield ambush awaited him. As the flames grew, the Hatfields opened fire on the house.  McCoy did come out, but managed to escape into the woods along with some children, who suffered frostbite. Other members of the McCoy clan weren't so lucky. Two of his children were killed during the blaze, and his wife was beaten so badly she was permanently disabled. With his house burning, Randolph and his remaining family members were able to escape to the woods; his children, unprepared for the elements, suffered frostbite. The remaining McCoys moved to Pikeville to escape the West Virginia raiding parties.  During the 1888 New Year's Night Massacre, the Hatfields set fire to the McCoy homestead in hopes of flushing the family out in the open. During the mayhem, Randolph McCoy's wife, Sarah, was so badly beaten her skull was crushed. His son Calvin and daughter Alifair were killed in the crossfire Sarah McCoy had never participated in the violence of the feud, so beating her almost to death served no purpose other than sending a message. And send a message it did – to the local authorities. Sarah McCoy's gruesome beating, and the murder of her children, brought about the murder trial that judicially ended the feud between the warring families.  This incident led to the last great skirmish of the feud as tensions were at an all time high! After the murders and the burning of the house there was an outcry for the Hatfields to be brought to justice. This led to the battle of grapevine creek. On January 19 Devil Anse and a large party of his supporters faced off with Frank Phillips and his men in a large gun battle which entered local lore and the legend of the feud as the Battle of Grapevine Creek. Despite involving a large number of men, and despite being the single biggest engagement of the entire feud only two were killed in the battle, though a deputy who supported the Hatfields was executed by Phillips after the battle. Following the engagement Phillips withdrew to Kentucky, having succeeded in rounding up nine members of the Hatfield clan. Once there he learned that another Governor, E. Willis Wilson of West Virginia, had entered the fray, and at least to all appearances on the side of the Hatfields. Wilson demanded that the illegally taken prisoners be returned to West Virginia.Wilson expressed outrage to both governor Buckner and to the federal government, sued the government of Kentucky for the illegal arrest of the nine prisoners being held there, and demanded reparations for the raids into his state. He also ordered the West Virginia Guard to mobilize and move units to the border with Kentucky to prevent further incursions into the state. In response, Buckner dispatched units of Kentucky’s guard to the border area as protection against retaliatory raids by either West Virginia troops or supporters of the Hatfields. Only two decades after the end of the Civil War the military assets of two states were facing each other over their shared border, as a result of the feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys.Among the nine men taken to Kentucky to stand trial for the murder of Alifair McCoy and others was Valentine Hatfield, known as Wall and a man with some connections in the government of West Virginia. Through his ministrations, Governor Wilson demanded the return of the prisoners by arguing that they had been denied due process and had been illegally extradited by Kentucky. Kentucky argued that the prisoners were in custody, under indictment, and that the state had no obligation to release them to West Virginia or any other entity, regardless of the circumstances of their arrest. In April the case was appealed by Governor Wilson to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Court issued no finding regarding the legality or illegality of the arrest, but agreed with Kentucky in their argument that no federal law existed which would prohibit the prisoners from being tried for the crimes committed in Kentucky, regardless of the nature of events which resulted with them being in custody. The finding was 7-2 in favor of Kentucky. With the nine men in custody pending trial the feud was effectively over, at least as pertains to violence against the other family. But several questions over the feud itself and the many participants arose in the aftermath of the arrests. Devil Anse was not among the prisoners, and neither West Virginia nor Kentucky authorities sought his arrest, despite his physical location being well known. Nor was Cap Hatfield in custody. One of the prisoners taken to Kentucky for trial was Valentine Hatfield, and at his trial he was convicted of involvement in the murders of the McCoy children and sentenced to life in prison. Wall Hatfield may not have been involved in the attack for which he was charged, in 2014 his great-grandson, an Episcopal priest, told the Bluefield (West Virginia) Daily Telegraph that family lore was that Wall surrendered voluntarily and that he hadn’t been guilty of the crime for which he had been charged. He also recounted a story of another relative visiting the Kentucky State Prison to review the records of his great-grandfather and learning of a different cause of death than that recorded by most historians.ADVERTISEMENTAccording to most accounts of the feud, once he was convicted Wall communicated with his brothers, asking for their assistance in getting him out of jail, but they refused over fears of being arrested. Wall died in prison under circumstances which remain officially unknown. According to his great-grandson, an official of the Kentucky prison system reviewed the records at the request of a relative of the Hatfields, and reported to her that he was placed in a cellblock alongside several convicted members of the McCoy clan, who killed Wall Hatfield in prison. The cause of death and the location of his grave were never released officially to the Hatfield family, who still question the nature of his role in the feud.     According to the accounts of several historians regarding the feud, Kentucky Special Officer Frank Phillips captured a deputy named Bill Dempsey who had been supporting the Hatfields, and executed him on the spot, an act of outright murder, though he was not held accountable for the crime. Other accounts have Phillips similarly executing Uncle Jim Vance rather than taking him into custody. Phillips referred to himself as “Bad Frank”, and claimed to have ridden at one time with the James-Younger Gang. Whether or not true, he did name one of his sons Jesse James Phillips, and he was indicted at various times in several jurisdictions. MORE ON THE FUEDGoing back to Perry Cline, Whether Perry Cline instigated the feud, using Randolph McCoy and his family as a red flag to enrage Devil Anse, has been debated by many over the years. The story of Anse using the courts to deprive Cline of a significant section of valuable land has been cited as the motive for Cline to try to damage the Hatfield clan. Some writers and historians have laid the blame for the feud at the feet of Perry Cline, using his many instances of arousing the anger of the McCoy’s against the Hatfields as evidence that he manipulated the feud, and inflamed it during its several periods of near-dormancy. But other aspects of Cline’s character and his achievements in Pike County call this judgment into question in many ways.There is little doubt that the McCoy family and their supporters suffered more deaths and the destruction of property over the course of the feud, and Randolph McCoy’s frustrations were elevated by his failures to obtain justice in the courts. Cline may have just been using his influence and political connections to help the McCoy family. Cline was well respected in Pike County and its environs; he started the first school for black children in the county and was elected to the state legislature, where he exhibited significant political skills. The theory that Cline incited the feud to get back at Devil Anse also falls flat when it is considered that Anse’s business remained intact and profitable in the feud’s aftermath, and if anything his influence in Logan County was enhanced.One of the motivating factors for the Hatfield attack on Randolph McCoy’s home was the bounty placed on the heads of several members of the clan, including a $500 bounty on Devil Anse, the recognized leader of the Hatfield’s and their supporters. Anse has gone down in history as the undisputed leader of the West Virginia Hatfield clan, despite the fact that he was not arrested and was never tried for any of the multitude of violent crimes he supposedly directed. While some have ascribed his eluding prosecution to his political connections in West Virginia, it has been noted that his brother Wall held similar connections, which did not preclude him from being tried, convicted, and imprisoned in Kentucky, where he died. Anse was never, except when attempting to outmaneuver Frank Phillips and his posse of vigilantes, on the run; his whereabouts were well-known to both members of the Hatfield clan and the McCoy faction attempting to bring him to justice. Court records also demonstrate that Anse was prone to using the courts, both in Logan County and in Pike County, to resolve differences, as indicated by the incident with the stolen hog. Nor was he present during the attack on the McCoy home. He was part of the murder of the three McCoy brothers following the murder of his own brother, an incident which much of the Tug Valley found to be justified. If he was in fact the leader of the Hatfield clan, as most accounts claim, he nonetheless escaped legal retribution, and attempts to exact justice upon him ended with the trial of the Hatfield’s in Kentucky. Cap Hatfield was the second son of Devil Anse, a man known to have a violent streak and a quarrelsome nature throughout the Tug River region. Cap was the type of man who preferred fighting to discussion and believed that vengeance was a duty of the offended. Cap was one of many of the feud’s participants of which there are conflicting accounts, some say he was arrested by Frank Phillips on the same day that the latter killed Uncle Jim Vance, others recount that he escaped Phillips on that day. At one point he was in the Logan County (later Mingo County) Jail, from which he reportedly escaped and eluded justice, probably with the help of his father. Cap was never brought to justice.ADVERTISEMENTDuring the trial which led to the sentencing of Ellison Mounts to death, eyewitness testimony from Randolph McCoy was that it was Cap Hatfield who had killed Alifair McCoy, testimony which conflicted with the confession offered by Mounts. As Cap frequently sided with his mentor, Jim Vance, who consistently recommended violent solutions to perceived slights, it seems likely that he was present during the attack, probably leading it along with his uncle. Cap escaped the feud and the pursuit of the vigilantes and vanished. In 1930, he died at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, one of the last survivors of the feud. His death was described in the New York Times as being the result of a brain ailment.James Vance was well-known in both Logan and Pike Counties, referred to as Crazy Jim Vance by the McCoy family and as Uncle Jim Vance to the Hatfield clan. The McCoys liked to point out that his father, Abner Vance, had been hanged and had never been married to Jim’s mother. A guerrilla fighter in Logan and Pike Counties during the Civil War, Vance was widely believed to have been the killer of Asa Harmon McCoy in 1865. Vance was accused by the McCoy’s of being the leader of the assault on the McCoy home during the New Year’s attack, and there was testimony that it was he who had severely beaten Sarah McCoy with a rifle butt as she attempted to reach her wounded daughter.Vance has been portrayed down the years as a psychopathic killer, one of the leading proponents of the violence which marked the feud. Following his death and the disappearance of Cap Hatfield, the violence of the feud subsided, despite Devil Anse, the presumed leader of the Hatfield clan, remaining at large. Some historians believe that Cap Hatfield witnessed the execution of the wounded Jim Vance at the hands of Frank Phillips, which led to Cap’s decision to flee the region. Despite his criminal history, Vance at one point served as a constable, though many of the Hatfield’s did so in Logan County, despite being considered outlaws in Pike County, so Vance’s service with the law cannot be a consideration when evaluating his true character.    Throughout the twentieth century, the Hatfield and McCoy feud grew in legend. It became sensationalized in newspapers and magazines, fictionalized in periodicals and film, satirized in vaudeville, and trivialized in cartoons and comics. Portions of the feud were presented as romantic drama, as in the film Roseanna McCoy, released in 1949, which approached the feud from the perspective of star-crossed lovers of the Romeo and Juliet type. Mark Twain was one of the first to use the feud as a basis for one of his tales, describing the feud between the Grangerfords and the Sheperdsons in his novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Even Betty Boop appeared in the cartoon with a feud as a backdrop.On June 14, 2003, in Pikeville, Kentucky, the McCoy cousins partnered with Reo Hatfield of Waynesboro, Virginia, to declare an official truce between the families. Reo Hatfield said that he wanted to show that if the two families could reach an accord, others could also. He had said that he wanted to send a broader message to the world that when national security is at risk, Americans put their differences aside and stand united: "We're not saying you don't have to fight because sometimes you do have to fight," he said. "But you don't have to fight forever." Signed by more than sixty descendants during the fourth Hatfield–McCoy Festival, the truce was touted as a proclamation of peace, saying "We ask by God's grace and love that we be forever remembered as those that bound together the hearts of two families to form a family of freedom in America." Governor Paul E. Patton of Kentucky and Governor Bob Wise of West Virginia signed proclamations declaring June 14 Hatfield and McCoy Reconciliation Day. Ron McCoy, one of the festival's founders, said it is unknown where the three signed proclamations will be exhibited and that "the Hatfields and McCoys symbolize violence and feuding and fighting, but by signing this, hopefully people will realize that's not the final chapter.the Hatfield and McCoy Reunion Festival and Marathon are held annually in June on a three-day weekend. The events take place in Pikeville, Kentucky, Matewan, West Virginia, and Williamson, West Virginia. The festival commemorates the famed feud and includes a marathon and half-marathon (the motto is "no feudin', just runnin'"), in addition to an ATV ride in all three towns. There is also a tug-of-war across the Tug Fork tributary near which the feuding families lived, a live re-enactment of scenes from their most famous fight, a motorcycle ride, live entertainment, Hatfield–McCoy landmark tours, a cornbread contest, pancake breakfast, arts, crafts, and dancing. Launched in 2000, the festival typically attracts thousands with more than 300 runners taking part in the races.[29]Statue honoring Randolph McCoy at the McCoy Homeplace in Hardy, KYIn August 2015 members of both families helped archeologists dig for ruins at a site where they believe Randolph McCoy's house was burnedIn September 2018, a wooden statue, standing over 8 feet tall, was erected in honor of Randolph McCoy at the McCoy homeplace in Hardy, Kentucky. Carved by chainsaw carver Travis Williams and donated to the property, this statue had been commissioned by McCoy property owner and Hatfield descendant Bob Scott. The statue was unveiled during Hatfield-McCoy Heritage Days in Pike County, Kentucky, an event that occurs every September that brings Hatfield and McCoy descendants back to Pike County to celebrate the long-standing peace between the families. The McCoy homeplace, like many others associated with the feud, is open to tourists year-round Top horror movies set in kentucky...there is only 4 apparently…Films set in Kentucky - IMDb Horror movies set in west virginiaFilms set in West Virginia - IMDbThe Midnight Train Podcast is sponsored by VOUDOUX VODKA.www.voudoux.com Ace’s Depothttp://www.aces-depot.com BECOME A PRODUCER!http://www.patreon.com/themidnighttrainpodcast Find The Midnight Train Podcast:www.themidnighttrainpodcast.comwww.facebook.com/themidnighttrainpodcastwww.twitter.com/themidnighttrainpcwww.instagram.com/themidnighttrainpodcastwww.discord.com/themidnighttrainpodcastwww.tiktok.com/themidnighttrainp And wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. Subscribe to our official YouTube channel:OUR YOUTUBE

Hi everyone! Christina’s back today with a look at one of the more unlikely nominees for Best Animated Feature, 2019’s KLAUS. It’s always nice when a film gets recognition that’s not from one of the ginormous animation houses. But I ask you, is a tagline like “Welcome to the Jingle” really what you think of when you think of an Oscar film? While that might have deterred me, it did not deter Christina, who will be up in a moment with her review. Don’t miss her debut review at One Movie Punch for WEATHERING WITH YOU (Episode #687), distributed to the United States by GKIDS. She’ll be back with their most recent import, RIDE YOUR WAVE, later in the month. Before the review, we’ll have a quick promo from our good friend Kolby Told Me, one of our biggest supporters of the podcast last year, as demonstrated by his near domination of the Follow Friday boards. You can find him on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram @kolbytoldme. And if you take up one of his recommendations, let everyone know that Kolby Told Me!

Here we go! ///// > ///// Hello, everyone! This is Christina Eldridge with Durara Reviews (a part of One Movie Punch), and I’m back with another review. Since my first review of WEATHERING WITH YOU (2019), I’ve been trying to promote myself and One Movie Punch by social media presence, so if you’re not following my Twitter, @durarareview, or @OneMoviePunch, please go give us a follow! Today’s movie is KLAUS (2019), which was written by Sergio Pablos and co-written by Zach Lewis and Jim Mohoney. KLAUS (2019) is an alternative origin story of Santa Claus, set in a fantasy world that resembles a gloomy 19thcentury. A chance meeting by a spoiled son of a postmaster and a hermit woodsman gives life to a town plagued by a feud and begins the Christmas tradition. This review is spoiler free. This light-hearted comedy is the Spanish animated directorial debut of Sergio Pablos, who is best known for his work in Disney’s animation department. He has worked on such hits as  HERCULES (1997), TARZAN (1999), SMALLFOOT (2018) and is probably known best for creating the entire DESPICABLE ME universe. KLAUS (2019) was produced by Sergio Pablos Animation Studios and is currently distributed in the United States by Netflix. The film was animated electronically, but Pablos used his experience at Disney to make 2D look more 3D. His work paid off with an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Featured film. Jesper Johansson (Jason Schwartzman) is the son of a highly successful and wealthy postmaster. He has no aspirations other than to leach off the family wealth. Jesper is forced to enroll in the Royal Postal Academy and purposely tries to fail so he can go back home to his pampered life.  Instead, it is decided that he will become postmaster of Smeerensburg, a Northern island town, and will be tasked with posting 6,000 letters in one year’s time or he will be cut out of the family estate. Jesper meets a ferryman in town named Mogens (Norm MacDonald), who quickly introduces Jesper to Smeerensburg’s forever feud perpetuated by two families: the Krums and the Ellingboes. Because of the feud, no one writes letters or even goes to school, as explained by the teacher turned fishmonger, Alva (Rashida Jones). After countless attempts to get anyone to mail anything, Jesper decides to try the only person left in town he hasn’t talked to: the lonely woodsman to the East, Klaus (J.K. Simmons). After a misunderstanding related to perception of character, he and Jesper set out to improve the town, which secretly will help Jesper fulfill his mission. Even though KLAUS (2019) is based on the tired trope of family feuds in the Hatfield/McCoy tradition, the story is charming enough to keep it from feeling stale. The friendship that evolves between Jesper and Klaus and their determination to make the children in town happy is touching, entertaining and powerful. I did have two issues with this movie, starting with its predictability.  From the start, you can guess exactly how it will end. Since this is a family movie, and children probably can’t follow complicated plot lines, I didn’t let it spoil my experience. My second issue is Jason Schwartman’s voice acting attempt. It felt a little over done and like he can maybe use another voice acting class or two, but it sort of works for a family film. KLAUS is the tale of a long con perpetrated by a sheltered brat that turned into a character-building life lesson. His motto goes from, “Everyone’s out to get something” to “A true selfless act always sparks another”. Everyone should watch it with their family at least once, and possibly add it to the holiday movie list if the kids are into it. Rotten Tomatoes: 93% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 64  One Movie Punch: 8/10 (Posted Letters) KLAUS (2019) is rated PG and is currently streaming on Netflix. Thank you, everyone!  Keep an eye out for my upcoming review, RIDE YOUR WAVE (2019), coming next month. Until next time!

The Hatfield–McCoy feud, also described by journalists as the Hatfield–McCoy war, involved two rural families of the West Virginia–Kentucky area along the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River in the years 1863–1891. The Hatfields of West Virginia were led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield while the McCoys of Kentucky were under the leadership of Randolph "Ole Ran'l" McCoy. Those involved in the feud were descended from Joseph Hatfield and William McCoy (born c. 1750). The feud has entered the American folklore lexicon as a metonym for any bitterly feuding rival parties. William McCoy, the patriarch of the McCoys, was born in Ireland around 1750 and many of his ancestors hailed from Scotland.[1] The family, led by grandson Randolph McCoy, lived mostly on the Kentucky side of Tug Fork (a tributary of the Big Sandy River).[2] The Hatfields, led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield, son of Ephraim and Nancy (Vance) Hatfield, lived mostly on the West Virginia side.[3] The majority of the Hatfields, although living in Mingo County (then part of Logan County), West Virginia, fought on the Confederate side in the American Civil War; most McCoys, living in Pike County, Kentucky, also fought for the Confederates;[4] with the exception of Asa Harmon McCoy, who fought for the Union. The first real violence in the feud was the death of Asa Harmon McCoy as he returned from the war, murdered by a group of Confederate Home Guards called the Logan Wildcats. Devil Anse Hatfield was a suspect at first, but was later confirmed to have been sick at home at the time of the murder. It was widely believed that his uncle, Jim Vance, a member of the Wildcats, committed the murder.[5]Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/anthologyofhorror)

Feuds were fought across the mountains of Appalachia after the Civil War, as families competed for the newly developed timber and coal riches in the area.  One of the most well-known, outside the famous Hatfield-McCoy feud, was the one in eastern Kentucky between the Martins and the Tollivers, better known as the Rowan County War.

Part two of our feud extravaganza has arrived! In which Sarah Bernhardt and Eleanora Duse really get into it and we take a look at the feminine side of the Hatfield & McCoy feud.

The Hatfields and the McCoys repeatedly attacked one another in the rural Tug River Valley separating West Virginia and Kentucky for over a decade in the late 19th century. Two patriarchs - Devil Anse Hatfield and Ol’ Randall McCoy - let their hatred of one another infect first their entire families and then an entire region of the country. Governor pitted against governor. West Virginia versus Kentucky. The Supreme court of the United States would end up getting involved. So how did it all start? How did it finally end? And how much blood was shed in between. The origins and the dirty deeds of America’s most famous feud revealed on today’s Timesuck.  Timesuck is brought to you today by Eero!

Summary Do Brett Kavanaugh and O.J. Simpson seem like an odd pair?

Give me a few minutes, and we’ll see some key parallels; parallels that tell us a lot about how the law and politics in the US have become so wrongly conflated. Orenthal J. Simpson was clearly guilty; his lawyer and the jurors no doubt knew that as well. Simpson was found not guilty because historically so many black men have been falsely accused--and convicted--of crimes against white women. (Ron Goldman was merely collateral damage.) The jury was making a statement about past injustices; it was not rendering a verdict based upon the evidence in this case. Somehow, freeing Simpson was seen by the jury as proper in the light of the historical injustices involving whites and blacks. Brett Kavanaugh was seen as guilty for very similar reasons. Many men have gotten away with assaulting women for a very long time; Kavanaugh was seen as having committed the crime based on nothing more than an accusation, an accusation that was not only uncorroborated but in many parts refuted, as a cry for historical justice. Again, somehow, seeing Kavanaugh as guilty was seen as proper in the light of the historical injustices involving men and women. Today’s podcast goes beyond reinforcing the point that two wrongs do not, cannot, make a right. Clearly, two wrongs are at least twice as bad as one wrong. One of the points we are making today is that morals and ethics, and right and wrong, can so easily get all tangled up when we think that allowing an injustice today can make up for historical injustices. With the Simpson verdict, Nicole Brown Simpson’s family, and Ron Goldman’s family, were left with not only no justice--but with a public slap in the face. And the American judicial system was deeply embarrassed and compromised. Pressing the Kavanaugh accusations and pronouncements of guilt badly damaged an innocent family, embarrassed the Senate and damaged the credibility of the Advice and Consent process. Perhaps more importantly, the whole world witnessed the attempt to further politicize the Supreme Court of the United States, and try to make it another legislative branch, negating a key part of the brilliance of our founding documents: the separation and balance of powers. Now let’s look at the Hatfield-McCoy feud effect. This feud is part of our lexicon, and is used to describe damaging and unceasing feuds of unremembered origin. And while the origins may be murky, the dislike and hate are real and growing. Aren’t we in danger of an unceasing and growing Democrat-Republican feud--a feud of murky and unremembered origin--if we aren’t there already? More than just taking the side of one party or the other, anyone with a conviction who has the temerity to express it in public, stands to be shunned, loudly insulted, or even physically attacked. This is all part of the fallout of stains on our national character like the Simpson verdict and the Kavanaugh attack. Today’s key point. When we take preconceived notions of what’s right and wrong, and who should be encouraged and supported and who should be rejected, into our thought processes and actions, while setting aside the evidence of that is going on today, we are in great danger of doing ourselves, communities and country a great disservice. We compound that damage when we get so lost in our thinking that we react because we...

The series of violent events that erupted in southern Appalachia in the 1870s and 80s, known as the “Hatfield-McCoy Feud,” evokes stereotypes of backwoods blood feuds and caricatured “hillbillies” with loaded shotguns. This episode will offer a very different version of the Hatfield-McCoy story that uncovers clues to the real reason for the feud and how the caricatured image of the hillbilly was born.

The Hatfield–McCoy feud or the Hatfield–McCoy war as some papers at the time called it, involved two rural families of the West Virginia–Kentucky area along the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River in the years 1863–1891. The Hatfields of West Virginia were led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield while the McCoys of Kentucky were under the leadership of Randolph "Ole Ran'l" McCoy. Those involved in the feud were descended from Ephraim Hatfield (born c. 1765) and William McCoy (born c. 1750). The feud has entered the American folklore lexicon as a metonym for any bitterly feuding rival parties. More than a century later, the feud has become synonymous with the perils of family honor, justice, and revenge.   Our theme song was written and performed by Anna Bosnick.

In the last part of the nineteenth century, newspapers across America were obsessed with tales of blood feuds in Appalachia, the best known of which is the Hatfield-McCoy feud. At the time, however, no other feud got more coverage than that between the French and Eversole families of Hazard, Kentucky. Private armies battling each other, […]
