Even after these detectives murdered Sid Hatfield and staged the scene to look like he was the guilty one, his integrity survived him. That is a testament.

That was really well put together brother. Thank you

There’s a town about 6 miles from where I live. Have way in between there’s a country bar. In the other town there were some worthless Hatfield boys. Damn them. Every time we’d show up at the same time we’d feud. We’d struggle like hell to see who. bought the other the most Beer 🍺 It was a lot of fun

well done

Several years ago in my church there was hatfields n mcory both men was kid to them

How much longer?

I’d like to see the Mothman team up with the Crichton Leprechaun.

jim vance was not devil ants hatfield uncle how ever was his mother's cousin now when families had older cousins they call them at and uncle but you research devil ants hatfield's motherhis mother you will find that she only had 2 sisters but no brother

Frank Phelps or bad Frank Phillips as people like to call him what is a kidnapper he kidnap hatfields that had nothing to do with the feud add family friends of the hatfields that he also kidnapped several of McCoy's that had nothing to do with the feud so a lot of innocent people were arrested for stuff they had nothing to do with because a lot of the hatfields they stay neutral they stayed out of the field also their family friends stayed out of the feud a lot of The McCoys stayed out of the field and a lot of their friends stayed out of the fuse and all that stayed out of a few were also arrested for stuff they did not do so Frank Phillips arrested over a dozen people and half of them had nothing to do with the fuse Perry Cline was the one that gathered donations to higher

The hog trial was not in a log cabin there is a sign next to a creek the hog trials site there never was a trial in a building there would have been one trial in a building had Neverland it's not been smart enough to borrow a person's headstone and that had to do with what perry cline was trying to do

This story goes back further than that ...A strong percentage of Appalachia were from one violent region on the Brittish Scotish border where there was little law enforcement. So they often took the law into their own hands. And there were the Scotch Irish as well ... who were widely know for not being civil minded ...this violent heritage immigrated and became rooted in the new world ...this Libertarian culture still survives today.

He is my 7th great Grandfather. His daughter, Rachel Skaggs Whitt (Christian name) is my 6th great grandmother & is buried in my hometown

A real hero!!! Sadly, we seem to be going backwards with all the hate being spewed these days. Racism is ignorant in my opinion and ignorance is the fuel of racism. One has to be ignorant to judge someone based on the color of their skin or their place of origin. Disgusting.

So it seems the mini series was pretty close to what happened in real life. Thanks for the story.It was very interesting.

Chief Cornstalk is my mother's great great grandfather

"Two Gun" Sid Hatfield a hero.

I have this blood in me. A fellow I worked with years ago loaned me a book he had and I read it and about halfway through there was a picture of my great grandmother. It was spooky because I remember seeing her picture in the family album. I must have that blood because years ago I got the urge to distill my own liquor. I got pretty good at it, but I will tell you that it is a lot of work. Anybody that tells you that there is nothing to it doesn’t know what they are talking about.

Cant listen to anymore of this hogwash 😮

Lmao Devil didnt fight in the war he DESERTED whent home and he had Acsa Harmon McCoy murdered by the Foe WildCats 🤣 😂 😅 💀 Now tell the truth please 😮

I am from Matewan...my Great grandmother lived through this stuff...lived in a tent during the mine wars. What is sad is that the mone companies are STILL predatory af.

G reat presentation!

As a longtime Celtics fan, Mr. Greer was one of my most feared of competitors. A great, great player. May he RIP!

This is wildly entertaining and also, sheds a whole new light on the mini-series with Kevin Costner.

A great,entertaining and informative video..thanks

I wish this channel posted more

These very interesting but some would say distasteful episodes in American history should be discussed. Not to lay blame or guilt but just to give us a deeper understanding of who we are and why, for example americans value highly the right to own a firearm and be able to defend your home. I think as a society we are mature enough to look back on these chapters without getting uselessly emotional about it.

I saw it outside Smithfield WV in 1985. The only detail that was different was that it held both hands up to the bottom of its mouth with really longs fingers that dangled down from there. The angle of it fingers from its forearms was about 150 degrees. Impossible for a human.

When I was a little boy, we used to play a game where we would feud. Like the Hatfields and McCoy's a great American rivalry part of our heritage.

Nicely done. Thank you for this!

I was born in West Virginia. My dad's side all grew up there. In 1980, my dad took us away from there. I grew up in Arkansas but spent summers with my grandparents in their little town in West Virginia. I have fond memories of riding around that town on our bikes with my cousins. The last time I was in West Virginia it was for a funeral. Most of the family I have there is gone. West Virginia is literally a dying state for me.

Related to Hatfield’s

There was a movie we had to watch in school (public school in WV in the 90s) I think it was just entitled "Matawan". Wish I could find it again!! I'd want my children to see it- we are from a mining family. And everybody knows WV kids know their State history the best in the Union!!

This is a really great video. Thanks for what appears to be an honest as possible recollection of the events of those days.

I dont appreciate that you say being illetrate in thst day (90 percent of people were all over the country) or being pregnant or barefoot or as impled poor are negative! Those arent negative things. Being hardworking settling where you had to make what you had as tgere were no stores to buy shoes and reproducing and thriving! Those are positive things! Things that settled and made this country! Brave strong people.

He killed and kidnap my ancestor catherjne cougars

Dawdy not to mention kentucky fried chicken

This was my 10th great grandfather. Thanks for the video.

I cannot understand why a pregnant woman would name her baby "Devil".

Over a pig how sad and stupid on both sides 🙏

I just found my biological fathers family last year. Sadly he and my two siblings have passed so I cannot ask them My aunt told me that we are related to the Hatfields in some way. I teach high school history and actually had a debate with my students who were saying the Hatfields are no better than the street gangs. An eye for an eye. Smart kids. Now three years later I find out I am related. My dads family lives in upstate Wisconsing, Michigan area. I see online some Hatfields did live there in MIN. But I lost the link and now cannot find it. The rabbit hole was very deep that day. Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you

I was only blessed enough to be raised in Kentucky. I was born in Indiana and moved to Kentucky when I was 6 where all my moms family were from. Kentucky has always and will always be my home. Such a beautiful and underrated state

I really appreciate this presentation. Quite informative and inspiring.

I watched the TV mini series with Kevin Costner which was really interesting. Unfortunately, in typical Hollywood fashion they changed some of the story to make it more "exciting".

The original Fort Randolph was located where the Mason County courthouse now stands.

Bullets still embedded in the walls of that corner building. Crazy.

I’m sure devil anse and Randal new each other before the civil war but devil ance did Dessert his post and Randal and his unit was captured that’s really what started the problems between the families I think Randal was sent to a place called 88 acres of hell. Another thing is Devil ance was not a captain but a private but people make them to be out hero’s when they wasn’t they where cold blooded murders women beaters child killers house burners and yes they are some kin too me but people gets a lot twisted for Tourism these days.

So my mom said My great great great grandfather boned an native American tribe princess and um yeah I went on ancestry an ancestor finder thing and I'm not sure but my family might be related to him. And found out my father was British and she said something bout not being related to nazis or something I might ask my papa so yeah as a person who is related to a cheif I approve also my great great great grandfather was white so yeah im learning new stuff bout my family every day I'm not bragging and I'm not sure if this is right but maybe it is I dont know

Well, they did marry their cousins. ..lol
